I recently came across two videos that I haven’t seen before. Below, you’ll see onride videos of both the Zippin Pippin and Revolution that were filmed during the 1998 Mid-South Fair:

If you could ride either of these coasters today, which would you ride first? Share in the comments section below.
Aw, I miss Liberty Land so much. I grew up in Memphis and today I had something job my memory about the old park. I moved away right after the park closed down, and I am so sad to hear the rides were sold off (some rebuilt, and others still in storage). I would love to see the Zippin Pippin’ rolling and clanking along again in the future. I would LOVE to ride the Revolution just a few more times….. for old times sake. The Revolution was my favorite when I was a kid. But, I’m thinking I would appreciate the Pippin’ a lot more.
I wish there was something there other than a parking lot…. but I guess the party goers need to tailgate, and I don’t blame them! Party on folks. I’m just wondering if Memphis will ever have another theme park (even if it’s small) or another Adventure River! Those were good memories!! I feel like the kids today are missing something, but then again….. it was the 80’s and 90’s and maybe it was just the “times”…. (and I’m not even ‘old’ for crying out loud).
