^ 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.
