Von da an fuhr sie als Clipper bis 1968 um schließlich in Big Dipper umbenannt zu werden. Am 16. September 2007 wurde sie zusammen mit dem gesamten Park geschlossen und für 5000 US-Dollar bei einer Auktion an Apex Western Machinery Movers verkauft, welche die Bahn für einen unbekannten Kunden transportiert.
