The Zippin Pippin was Elvis Presley's favorite ride. Elvis Presley rented Libertyland on August 8, 1977, from 1:15 a.m. to 7 a.m. to entertain a group of about 10 guests. Wearing a blue jumpsuit with a black leather belt, a huge belt buckle with turquoise studs, and gold chains, he rode the Zippin Pippin repeatedly during a two-hour period. He lost his belt buckle on the ride that morning, and it was found and returned the next day. His Libertyland rental became his last public appearance. He died on August 16.
