The best show in the Showcase Theater had to be the Peking show!

Joe, the rainbow logo was and always be THE park logo. It brings back many great memories.

^ Favorite removed rides.  ;)

I went crazy when Sue mentioned Swiss Bobb.

I'm happy other people have an affinity for Hernando's Hideaway.

Would anybody else have any old favorites?

I know it's not been gone all that long, but I really, really miss the giant Frisbee...

Sigh.

It looks at home and runs well at Six Flags Great America, but I miss it at Great Adventure.

And of course I miss Jump2, Jumping Jack Flash, whatever you call it!  :)  Usually they called it closed (like Evolution).

I wanted to mention a few tidbits on my choices.  The bobsleds would have likely won the favorite past coaster if not for one simple reason - you can still ride one!  Batman and Robin was as original as it gets which in these clone days, was unique.  I can still go ride a bobsled coaster at various parks around the country - which is obviously a good thing!

Wow, I can't belive I forgot, but I totally miss Lightnin' Loops.  I just wish I could've experienced it when both loops were operating.  I did get to ride both loops at their next homes in Maryland and Oklahoma though.
