GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) Ten years ago this month the culmination of what some called a crazy idea first took it’s riders up the lift hill at Bay Beach Amusement Park on the shores of the Bay of Green Bay.
The Zippin Pippin, an over 100 year old wooden roller coaster, purchased by the city from a defunct Tennessee amusement park, opened its doors in May of 2011.
Now, ten years later, the screams can still be heard.
It hasn’t lost it’s charm if you ask these folks.
“It was awesome…it was nice, with the wind in your hair…it was fun,” said Amanda, from Pulaski.
