If you could bring back one defunct ride what would it be?

The speed slides. Hands down. I don't even go to soak city anymore since they were removed. That was, IMO, the only remarkable ride in the waterpark. Something world class for the airtime you could get flying over the drops if you rode it right. I've only encountered one other slide that you could get so much air on- the Banzai/Triple Drop at the defunct six flags Atlantis. The only thing remaining now is the slush gusher at blizzard beach, and it's nowhere near as good as the SC speed slides were.Everything else in Soak City is run of the mill at best. Except for the view, which was polluted by the kindergarten color scheme they fingerpainted on the flumes. Now I'd rather stay in CP when I'm there and save my waterpark time for other destinations.

Schwabinchen. How could you forget that lady with the huuuuggggeee tracks of land?

Are you sure you're not thinking of Dollywood?

There aren't many rides that I miss so much that I would want them back... I like the direction that the park is going (I am in my early 30s, so I don't have the nostalgia for some of the older rides like many here do)

I always thought The Sea Swing looked like a fun ride... I think it would be cool if something like that was brought back.

The wave swinger is like the sea swing, minus the sea.

My favorite ride at Dorney Park

Demon Drop.

I would only want to bring back Space Spiral.


It took me 10 years to finally create a Pointbuzz account..........

Demon Drop. No question about it. I would put it back in its original location too. Ocean Motion just doesn't look right being there.

I love Maverick but would love White Water Landing to come back. It would be perfect at the Shoot the Rapids location.

Funny because STR was supposed to be the replacement for WWL and doesn't really come close.

^ Well Intamin does make the log flume version. If they wanted to, they could do a makeover of Shoot the Rapids. They already have the troughs.

And the lift hills. Chain lifts and cones probably wouldn't go well.
