Lil' Dipper is said to have been built in 1961. It does not appear at it's present day location in Historic Aerials imagery from 1967. The previous imagery is from 1956 not showing the ride and the following is 1983 clearly showing it. It is possible the 1967 Historic Aerials imagery is misdated, the ride was relocated within the park after 1967 or the ride existed a another park prior to Camden Park. A long time park visitor mentions the ride existed in at least 1965 per family stories. Roller Coaster Fever, a 1979 publication, mentions the Lil' Dipper.
