I was told by someone (I don't remember) that PTC (Philadelphia Toboggan Company) doesn't make rollercoaters anymore. So, this gets me excited to see this rollercoaster under construction by PTC even though it seems like it's going to be small compared to something like Screamn' Eagle (SFStL).

This roller coaster is most likely not under construction by PTC. I think PTC originally built it with Schmeck as the designer, but I could be reading that wrong. I think it's just being relocated and put together by some private contractor.
Yet, I could be totally wrong  Finally Coaster Season!!
PTC hasn't made coasters since the 1970's if I remember correctly. This is just a relocation from another park and was originally built in 1956.

I really hate the name of this topic... it's so vauge, I forget that I already read it, and keep re-reading it. Ahhhh!
Here is a little something about little dipper, and where it was relocated from, http://coastergallery.com/2001T/LA.html It's not a new ride.
I never knew such a park existed, and I lived in lemont for 12 years, before living in Florida for the last 2 god awful yrs.
I believe you are talking about hillcrest park, they used it for company outings, I rode that ride, were unstable and I believe it has plywood floors.
