Dollywood looking into buying the Zippin Pippin

[rollermonkey]

I can almost see this happening. I wonder if the folks up at Knoebels' would be able to lend a hand with the work going on there. If they do buy this coaster, it's going to be a steal and it shouldn't affect whatever plans they have for the future too dramatically.

I'd like to see them get it, I think it would be a good fit for Dollywood. And since it isn't likely to cost them major bucks to purchase, only to move and re-erect, it shouldn't impact their current long term plans.

 

Could the car ride be moved, if it is indeed put there? I know that part of the reason people said it would go there is because Screamscape reported that their next ride could go there. However, I wonder if they're taking in to account that Zippin Pippin may just be a quick impulse purchase and Dolllywood could put it anywhere (Thunderhead is on mostly flat land too, that was made flat).

Come on Dollywood make that purchase and keep a ACE Classic coaster "alive" for everyone to enjoy.

 

This ride is is part of USA history, change the cars for new PTC ones and it will produce lots of
