Is it being dismantled or demolished? The 93 year old wooden roller coaster, Zippin Pippin is being removed from Memphis. The second oldest wooden coaster in the US was Elvis's favorite ride.
This is very sad to see. I have wondered what ever became of the coasters here at Libertyland. I live in North Alabama and have thought about driving to Memphis just to see what is left of Libertyland. I was really hoping that it would eventually re open. This is just heart wrenching. The people of Memphis will regret losing this as Nashville has losing Opryland in 1997. Thank you for posting these videos. I would still like to drive to Memphis just to see where Libertyland once stood.
@shalamar07 wow i am REALLY out of it, i didnt even know opryland had closed!!! i used to love that place.

Great Post Elvis'favorite ride.
He would personally rent the park late nights n ride the pippin over & again.
"Memories" Just like Elvis Mem. has died.
Folks need to stop pretending.
Just look at the gang graffiti from the river well into east memphis....
Use to be just a big o'le country town and now it's a city where the average high school grad can't even read at sixth grade level.
Memphis is a city under siege.
