Okeechobee Rampage at Cypress Gardens Adventure Park

[Naynnick]

When I first came to this park in 2004, maybe? I remeber saying to myself, y'know, when I get older, I'ma ride that thing! We went maybe another two times, and then the park closed, right before we wanted to go, and I was old enough to ride it. It makes me sad...

Legoland  Florida has used the track from Okeechobee Rampage from the lift to the casle

@201018musicman Yeah, I'm glad they tried to save as much as they could.

Certainly a fun little coaster. I like the Train design on this one better than Ant Farm Express. A nice open front design that lets you cool off in the hot Winter Haven sun.

[zeroboy1998]

go to wild adventures it has better rides than this but not better than six flags

[Scioneer]

This is the same as the Ant Farm Express at that park. And Starliner owns the Cheetah any day.

What I think is worse is that we purchased annual passes just a couple of weeks before they closed down and they won't give us our money back, guess I will have to take them to court.

I always to go there but now ill never be able to experience it with all the rides it makes me sad

[woodencoasterfan]

You're not the only one. I used to go to CG on the way home to Orlando from Busch Gardens in Tampa. That won't be happening anymore. It's now just one boring hours drive back to O town.

[cultofepcotcenter]

Yeah my sister went there and said it was great. That made me want to go even more.Now all it is a botanical garden and waterpark.I guess i could go to the waterpark but i always wanted to ride ther wooden rollercoasters..

Looks like a good ride.

[woodencoasterfan]

It shure was when it was there. Unfortunately it is being removed along with all the other rides at Cypress Gardens.

[smartguest]

@woodencoasterfan actually they are simply retheming it to dragon (there's a similar coaster at Legoland California that is the same type of track) in transition

[woodencoasterfan]

@smartguest Yeah I heard about that not long after I posted the comment. I'm glad they're keeping most of the rides there but bummed at the same time knowing that the Starliner is leaving. Atleast it's being moved back to Panama City Beach.

[smartguest]

@woodencoasterfan they weren't stupid enough to get rid of Coastersaurus so that's great if they manage to keep the coaster classic status

[smartguest]

@woodencoasterfan well its not exactly being moved i mean its going to be revived with a dash of the original inside of its soul

[Pieishman]

nice POV
