- Front row with my camcorder on Elvis' favorite ride, the Zippin' Pippin at LibertyLand in Memphis,TN . The Pippin no longer resides at the old Fairgrounds in Memphis. It's now operating in Green Bay, WI . When you head thru the hills, the Liberty Bowl and Mid-South Coliseum are visible. The cars look like "sleighs" instead of the polished alum. trains they used in the past. I'm not sure when they changed these cars. When they used the trains, they would use (2) of them during the Mid South Fair to keep the lines moving. They only used (1) the rest of the time. The 2nd train was stored on the control platform. They say if you have a Memphis driver's license, you can ride the Pippin free when you visit it in Green Bay.
I miss liberty land so very much I loved that amusement park my favorite ride was the revolution
This was shot in Memphis,TN on a ride that now resides in Green Bay, WI. It was built in Memphis in 1923 and sold just a couple of years ago.
That's the way I remember my Memphis........long gone! You can never go back, but thanks for a peak back in time!
I was born in 1996, and I remember going to liberty land all the time as a child before it closed down. I remember seeing the Zippin Pippin to the left when you entered the fair grounds, and I always thought it looked ancient lol. Didn’t know until much later that it was nearly 100 years old. It as built in 1923.
I remember riding on this rollercoaster in 1969 , I was than 12 years old and my class went on a school outing . We went from Greenville Mississippi to Memphis , just to go to libertyLand . What a day that was , I was in the 7th grade and was just learning what girls were made for . The good old days and I had to wait another year before I had the chance to kiss a girl . Like I said , the good old days and what a ride . I mean the rollercoaster and the girl .
I miss Liberty 🗽 Land!!
I dont know how this showed up, but I'm glad it did. This brought back some memories! It wasn't the biggest or the fastest but the sound would scare you to death!
Oh Wow never thought I would ride that ever again!!! Thanks for sharing an awesome memory!!! My Grandfather and his oldest brother use to operate this thing back in the old days, years, years and years ago!!! I am Memphis born and LibertyLand was what I grew up with!!!
I remember always trying to grab the branches.. Lol
Thanks for the memories, from someone that can remember the ride when it was simply the Pippin and it resided at a place simply called the Fairgrounds, a place where the old mill helped to cool a person off on a hot muggy day. I care not what others say I say we had the best of times as kids there.
I remember everything about that place where me and my friends use to hang out all the time
Cameraman thank you for your footage this place simply don't exist no more without footage like this I can never show my children of the fun I used to have living in Memphis and how much the world has changed today this video as if I jumped in a time machine and went back to being a ten-year-old kid in Memphis having as much fun as I could
Memories 🥲 I used to run all over Liberty Land as a kid!!! The Zip’n Pip’n use Memphians called it!!!
Oh wow!! I am sooooo glad someone filmed this and kept it! AMAZING. Very much nostalgic. The good ol' wooden Zippin Pippin. Liberty Land was so small in hindsight but it was amazing for my childhood! So glad I knew that version of Memphis. There were 2 roller coasters in Liberty Land. The other was called the Revolution. Great memories!
Rumor has it ELVIS wore this out!......and i see why
So many good things have left Memphis in the last 40 years.
Oh the memories
My first coaster experience ❤❤
I would never get on this ride. It use to sound like it WAS cracking.
was one cool ride.:)
