 On February 7, 2010, the dismantlement was put on hold as Green Bay, Wisconsin administrators visited Memphis to examine the Zippin Pippin for use in Bay Beach Amusement Park.The Zippin Pippin partially collapsed during dismantlement, but the deal was not affected as most of the materials were understood to be unsalvageable.After the Green Bay City Council approved plans to purchase the Zippin Pippin, the city spent $3.8 million to purchase and rebuild the ride.
