The Zippin Pippin, designed by John Miller, was originally built in 1923. Miller, a renowned wooden coaster designer, also designed Bay Beach Amusement Park's original roller coasters, The Greyhound and The Jack Rabbit. The Zippin Pippin is a classic out-and-back coaster design that reaches a height of sixty-five feet and travels at speeds up to forty-five miles per hour. The coaster was originally named The Pippin, and in 1976, upon the opening of Libertyland, Zippin was added to the coaster's name. The Zippin Pippin operated as part of Libertyland in Memphis, Tennessee, until 2005. On March 19, 2010, Bay Beach purchased the original Zippin Pippin design and naming rights. The coaster was built using entirely new materials and opened on May 7, 2011, in its new home at Bay Beach Amusement Park.
