coasterdude5 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I got an attraction survey the other day and one of the three attractions was creating a new area that would include the Zippin Pippin, which now sits at the defunt Libertyland. I thought of this yesterday: has anyone seen the new Tennessee commercials with Elvis and Dolly in the same car? Could that have been pointing to this deal? I hope they act fast because Zippin Pippin has to be off its current location by January 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scaparri Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 That would be pretty sweet. Is that what she says at the end? Something about taking the Pippin? I haven't really heard it very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted September 17, 2006 Author Share Posted September 17, 2006 Zippin Pippin, the ride that is always said as "Elvis' favorite ride". 70 ft. tall 40 mph had some good airtime in the back Not the best picture, but it was taken from outside the park.

BarryH Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 The Elvis and Dolly Parton commerical has been running for a long time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 That would be awesome. My brother went to the "311 Day" concert in Memphis and the arena literally overlooked the Zippin Pippin. He said the ride still looked like it was in decent shape and it was a shame the whole place was so dormant... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterboy76 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 would have been cool to ride on it- looks like it might be fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesdillaman Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Where would they put it? Wouldn't this take a larger area of flat land? -James "just wondering" Dillaman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electerik Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 ^ Where Rockin' Roadway is now, I suspect. Which I wouldn't be too happy about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarmor Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 ^ oh uh! lol lol I too was wondering where it would fit in that area. I do hope dollywood doesnt move that ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpengeist04 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I would rather they wait a year or two and add a brand new coaster, but that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpengeist04 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 A new coaster wouldnt mean a better coaster. True, but I'm going by Dollywood's past history. ...Mystery Mine looks like a good one and we know about Thunderhead, so I'd take my chances.

jamesdillaman Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I'd hate to see Rockin Roadway go. It adds a lot to that area of the park IMO. With so many parks taking out their car rides you do worry, however... -James "Not another car ride loss " Dillaman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillerman1 Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Who says Rockin Roadway and ZP couldn't coexist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holtskee Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Rockin’ Roadway is sandwiched - to the left is the creek, at the top is a maintenance road and the railroad track, and to the right is the entrance road. The Rampage is immediately across the creek. The car ride was apparently designed to make the most of that space by looping around and over itself. I don't think Zippin Pippin could be squeezed into that area with Rockin' Roadway left intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bk1870 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 That ride ALWAYS has a HUGE line...its horrible. I've never ridden it and I've been to dollywood about 15 times... For them to get the Zippin Pippin...that'd be NICE and NEAT but idealy...probably not. And I'm sure they have the land. Not flat land, but they have it.

thrillerman1 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Yep Holtskee I know how Rockin' Roadway is laid out. I also know how Zippin Pippin is laid out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy T. Koepp Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 It would be awesome for DW to get two coasters in two consecutive years. I don't think they'd try and put in two in one year. I could be wrong, and have been on many occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
