Best Former Parks and Coasters?

[JimPanky]

What are your favorite theme parks and roller coasters that are gone?

[CoasterCale]

I have yet to been to a park and ride a coaster that has been totally demolished. The closest I've gotten is relocation.

Not sure how you want to answer this. When it comes to former park and a bunch of coasters, and I have not been there, I would have to go with Riverview in Chicago.

I would have like to had a chance to see River view park. Out of park Ive been too I miss Fun Spot in Indiana. It was a big part of my childhood. We vacationed at my Great Uncle's cottage in Angola 2 weeks every summer and went there every year.
Attractions, Jaws Universal Orlando is pretty high on the list. It was one of my favorite attractions for sure.
My favorite coasters Ive been on are still around.

good, topic!

Well lets see, I've been to 16 parks which no longer exist, I'd say the biggest losses are Southport Pleasureland and their funhouse, both were a HUGE loss, also Myrtle Beach Pavillion, was a very nice park though Hurricane wasn't very good, Williams Grove was a very unique park, Dreamland as well in the UK, though I guess there is some hope for the now partially burnt down Seanic Railway there and Astroland at Coney Island was a really good park, lots of real European flat rides run properly, then of course Kiddieland.

Honorable mention for Astroworld.

Also been on 64 defunct coasters, none of em really stand out in my head, not going to bother going over my track record and ranking em.

edit: 64, never re-listed Disaster Transport as demolished, also I've been on 53 relocated coasters, non-traveling coasters of course, seems some don't differentiate between moved and demolished

Some of my favorite defunt coasters are Deja Vu, Disaster Transport, and Wildcat.

Deja Vu and Shockwave.

I know I haven't really been to a lot of parks that are now closed, but I have a lot of memories from Santas Village. It wasn't big but it had this atmosphere that I cant describe. There was something special about taking the sky ride to the back of the park.

DejaVu, Disaster Transport, and The Dania Beach Hurricane in Florida.

My favorite defunct coasters would probably be....

1. Big Bad Wolf - No other suspended coaster that is still operating swayed as much as this baby did.
2. Rattler - Even though it was rough, I loved the cliff side and the ride was bearable in the front. Iron Rattler looks like a waste of space in my opinion.
3. Texas Giant - The ending on this ride made it amazing. Although New Texas Giant is a worthy replacement.

Sky Whirl @ SFGAm
Big Dipper at Geauga Lake
Fun House at Jenkinson's (FParker, You can back me up on this right?)
Canyon Rapids at Hersheypark (One of the wetter rapids rides I've ridden)
Old Mill at Kennywood (It's still there but its Garfield now)

I honestly really miss Big Bad Wolf at BG Williamsburg.

I was young enough to go to kiddie land in melrose park. Gotta say I liked it the most. Riding the Little Dipper again brought back a ton of memories. I remember it being bigger, and fitting in the cars easier
