How many coasters have you ridden that are now defunct (and not relocated), and do you have any fond memories of them?

My defunct credits are:

  • Disaster Transport, Cedar Point
  • Wicked Twister, Cedar Point
  • Dueling Dragons/Dragon Challenge, Islands of Adventure
  • Fire in the Hole, Silver Dollar City
  • SandSerpent, Busch Gardens Tampa

I never got to ride Dueling Dragons while the two tracks dueled, and that’s still something I wish I could have experienced. I liked the concept of two completely different layouts with near misses over the course of the ride experience.

Honorable mentions to Iron Wolf at Six Flags Great America (now Firebird at Six Flags America) and Mantis at Cedar Point that are now floorless conversions.

    Big Bad Wolf - BGW King Cobra - King’s Island Mean Streak - Cedar Point TTD - Cedar Point T2 - Kentucky Kingdom Twisted Twins - Kentucky Kingdom Also Kentucky Kingdom’s boomerang I think is defunct?

    King Cobra was surprisingly fun as I recall, I’d love to know what I think now.

    Edit - I can also give an honorable mention to Mantis at CP along with Chang at Kentucky Kingdom.

      Ugh, I can’t believe I forgot about Dragster - rode that one a good 15 years ago!

      I didn’t get to ride SkyRider while that was still at Canada’s Wonderland, but it looks like the same model as King Cobra. I wish I could ride a Togo stand-up coaster but I’m not sure when/if that’ll happen.
