#defunct coasters

A beautiful day bringing out some of the best of a beautiful coaster. I had no idea back in December that Scorpion would close only 9 months later. Any guesses, or ideas, or hopes for whats coming next?

Shown here are some of my defunct credits - High Speed Thrill Coaster at Knoebels, closed in 2008 [image credit] - Volcano: The Blast Coaster at Kings Dominion, closed in 2019 [my photo] - Vortex at Kings Island, closed in 2019 [my photo] - Thunder Road at Carowinds, closed in 2015 [image credit]coaster

i think about dania beach hurricane constantly

Trainless Saturday.... Glad to see it was still up during my visit. Truly going to miss this ride. :(

She will be missed. <3

Scorpion, by Anton Schwarzkopf, at Busch Gardens Tampa closed on September 2nd, 2024.

And finally, one of my favorite rides prior to its closure. I even remember back when Sand Serphant was Cheetah Chase, back before Cheetah Hunt was constructed. I don't think I have seen any Sand Serphant merch since the rides closure.

Thinking abt Daidarasaurus that used to be at Expoland in Japan. Apparently it was an absolutely ridiculous 7,677.2 ft (2340 m) long, making it the second longest non-alpine coaster ever built behind Steel Dragon 2000, and closed with the park in 2007. Also thinking abt how cool Daidarasaurus would be as a character name
