themeparkguy27 Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 (edited) Ran to the park this morning for the Little Dipper re-opening. The ride looks fantastic and it fits in perfectly. The ride was re-built at SFgam with nearly 90% wood, but the specs are supposed to be nearly exact to when it was at Kiddieland. The height limit is 36 inches with an adult or 42 inches alone. The Little Dipper is a wonderful first coaster for the little ones. I have also included a couple pics of the new ropes course going in front of the Demon.

robbalvey Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 ^ Can you try uploading your pictures to TPR? Many of them are not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathbydinn Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Great pictures! Could you tell if they're adding any more structures for the ropes course? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 The clown car train on Demon actually looks pretty nice, aside from the fact that it doesn't coordinate with the track. I'm glad the Little Dipper resurrection seems to have gone off without a hitch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zack44 Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 ^That train looks a lot better than what Great Adventure did with that one El Toro train...(shudders) Anyway, I love how the park decided to incorporate the coasters history into the "theming" and I love all of the new signs along the queue. This looks like it will be very popular with children, families, and anyone who ever rode the Little Dipper before this summer and hopefully for the next few years. If you ask me, bidding on this coaster in the first place was probably one of the best decisions the park has made in the past few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolinacaniac Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 It looks really well done! I am hoping to visit at one point this summer, and I am looking forward to getting a chance to see it for myself. -Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-RadG Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 That is insanely cool and awesome of SFGAm to do, especially posting all the things about its history so the GP aren't like "OOOH SHINY NEW COASTER!". On another note, Demon's train looks horrid; having something bright pink, orange, and green on a coaster that's supposed to be all demon-y doesn't work.

jray21 Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Thanks for the pictures. I'm glad they were able to reuse it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I think it's a great fit for SFGAm! I also agree with everybody else: it's great that they're reusing this classic ride and not letting it rot, like some older parks have done with their rides.

pkdcoaster Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 WOW that little coaster looks awesome!I love all the history aspects of the ride. IMO this is easily one of the best things Six Flags has EVER done! JEFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobWarren Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I'm very excited to see Six Flags cares. I'm also not mad that my home park got a great coaster. The crew did a great job wrapping things up from my visit on 5/21/10 to the opening day a week later. I did not have the chance to ride the Little Dipper when it was at Kiddieland. If you have ridden it at its original location and now at SFGAm, I'd love to hear a comparison! -Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillrider Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Nice pictures. I am going to try and get out there next weekend to check out the dipper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitrofan Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Wow, it looks very nice. Are there 1 or 2 trains on this ride? Does anyone think that queue will ever actually fill for a historic kiddie coaster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathbydinn Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 ^ There is only one train. With the new brakes I think they would be able to run two but not until they fix all the problems and yes the queue will fill up. They have been reports of hour + waits for LD. Yes only running one train has something to do with it, but the ride is short so that really shouldn't effect it too much. I'm sure after a year or so the queue will go down dramatically.
