Honoring the nation’s Bicentennial, Libertyland was a theme park opened near GZ on July 4th, 1976. The park consisted of a dozen-plus “mild to wild” rides that included a Ferris wheel, bumper cars, the Old Hickory flume ride, the park’s signature Dentzel Grand Carousel, and roller coasters the Revolution and the Zippin Pippin, Elvis’ favorite ride!
The Zippin Pippin, formerly known as the Pippin, was built in 1912 by John A. Miller and Harry C. Baker of National Amusement Devices. Constructed of pine, it is one of the oldest operating wooden roller coasters in North America. Now residing in Green Bay, Wisconsin, thrill seekers enjoy riding the 2,865 feet long coaster with drops as high as 70ft and speeds of up to 40mph. The Zippin Pippin provided adrenalin-packed thrills that even a King would love!
On occasion, Elvis would rent the entire park to entertain guests and to ride his favorite rides without constant fan interference. Just a week before his death, Elvis rented out Libertyland from 1am to 7am where he and his guests rode the Zippin Pippin for hours without stopping; it was to be Elvis’s last public appearance.
Proceed to the posted coordinates to gain data to make the projection to the final stage. Add the height of the initial drop to the maximum mph to determine how many meters to project. Subtract the year of the decade the name Pippin was derived from the year the Pippin became the Zippin Pippin to determine what angle to make the projection. Lastly, in order to gain access to the cache, one must know the year that Elvis took his last ride on the Zippin Pippin.
Good luck on your search for this TCB multi. I hope that you enjoy the history and find peace along the way.
