Follow-up on the Pippin sale

Last week I posted about the dismantling/demolition of the Zippin Pippin.  Jackson Baker wrote a story yesterday, Mulroy’s Salvage Mission Finally Succeeds: Green Bay to Get the Zippin’ Pippin in the Flyer. Apparently the deal is done to sell the Pippin to Green Bay for a park there, or maybe it’s just the “Concept” of the Pippin.  How would you interpret this excerpt from Baker’s piece?

When I think of the Zippin Pippin, I think of the wooden structure, which defines its historical significance as the country’s second oldest roller coaster.  So what is Green Bay buying, physically?  Sounds like the City is buying the name and a set of plans.  So, I stand by my original assessment:  They are demolishing the Zippin Pippin.
