Zippin Pippin POV (May 18, 2011)
The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Wisconsin Section held its annual Fox Valley meeting in Green Bay, Wisconsin on Wed May 18, 2011. Dan Ditscheit from the Parks Dept presented to the group an overview of the planning, design, and construction of the Zippin Pippin Roller Coaster. After the dinner meeting, the group participated in operator training and had the opportunity to ride this new roller coaster. This short film was filmed and edited by me, David Hansen, City Traffic Engineer, Dept of Public Works, Green Bay. I love all types of roller coasters, and have to honestly say that this coaster surprised me on many levels including its speed, rideability, and a little surprise (you may pick up on it in the video, but trust me, nothing compares to the real thing). Enjoy the video, and do yourself a favor and go ride it starting this Saturday, May 21.
