kimv1972 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 One night I was just curious which major theme park has REMOVED the most coasters. Kings Island has seen Bavarian Beetle, Screamin Demon, Son of Beast, King Kobra, the original Bat, and Vortex go away, mainly because they have taken the risk to lead on new technology and set the path for followers. Can any other park top that? My guess is that Cedar Point could be a contender due to age. I believe the old Cedar Point Amusement Circle had three or more that were where the CP mall is today. Thoughts? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonofBaconator Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Cedar Point has a total of 17 defunct coasters according to RCDB. https://rcdb.com/4529.htm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenban Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Wiener Prater in Austria has removed 26 according to RCDB. Here is the parks that I could think of and I grabbed the numbers off of RCDB. Geauga Lake - 14 coasters Great Adventure - 15 coasters Palisades - 16 coasters Cedar Point - 17 coasters Dreamland -17 coasters Wiener Prater - 26 coasters I doubt Kings Island is even in the top 20 or 30 for most removed coasters.

Maybe not for quantity but arguably KI should be up there quality wise. Firehawk, King Cobra, Vortex, Screaming Demon, and of course SOB all significantly contributed to not only KI's history but also the history of the industry as a whole. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
befat Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 These were the first 3 parks I thought of to compare to KI: Six Flags Magic Mountain - 8 (tied with KI) Kings Dominion - 6 Carowinds - 3 (interesting since they opened a year after KI) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion13 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 You also forgot about Scooby's Ghoster Coaster. 1998-2005 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
