 I had sort of this cool idea here to just go over all of the defunct coasters I've written so far and just do a little brief review on each one of them. I just figured it'd be best to compile all of them into one video since I'm just going to be talking real quick about them. So I hope you guys enjoy. I'm going to be reviewing these in alphabetical order. So starting off we have Big Dipper at Geogalake. This was a classic wooden roller coaster that originally opened in 1925 and it went under a couple different names before it became the Big Dipper. Originally opening in 1925, Big Dipper was originally called Skyrocket until 1947 to 1950. Then after that it became Clipper and then in 1969 it became Big Dipper. This was a great classic old school wooden coaster. Small, really fun, great airtime and those trains were absolutely perfect. No seatbelts, just a buzz bar, great ride and I missed this ride so much. This was honestly probably my favorite ride at Geogalake and I am really sad that this ended up getting demolished and it wasn't saved. Great loss here in my opinion. I would give Big Dipper a 7.5 out of 10. Very smooth from my experiences and I wrote it many times. Great airtime and just overall a really fun classic wooden coaster. Next up is Disaster Transport. Cedar Point, the intimate bobsled coaster that originally opened in 1985 as Avalanche Run. Then for the 1990 season it was converted into Disaster Transport and they built a big blocky building around it. Gave it all of this like space theming and the story that went along with it was kind of really contrived and confusing didn't really make a whole lot of sense. And from what I hear at first all the theming they had in there when it was working it was kind of cool but over time it just fell into disrepair and things were just left as they were. Eventually this ride got demolished after the 2012 season. This ride sort of has a cult following around it. I mean there's nobody I think that actually misses this and wishes they wouldn't have taken it out because in my opinion we got a really worthy replacement and gatekeeper and that front section of the park looks absolutely beautiful now. It looks so much better without that big blocky building. I did have fun on Disaster Transport at the times I rode it but it wasn't anything outstanding so definitely happy with what we have now. I would give Disaster Transport a 5 out of 10. It was a decent ride. Next up Double Loop at Geogal Lake. This was the classic aerodynamics double looping coaster as the name would imply. This layout was just really basic, really basic. It was a really short ride, 1800 feet of track, had two inversions which were the two vertical loops, top speed of 36 miles an hour. All this ride consisted of was basically a drop, a turnaround, and the two vertical loops and that was it. This ride ended up getting scrapped after Geogal Lake closed. Not a real significant loss in my opinion. I mean it was an okay ride. I don't remember it being painful at all. It was a classic aerodynamics coaster. Sad to see it gone because Geogal Lake is gone now. But I would give Double Loop a 5 out of 10 as well. Decent enough ride. Nothing special though. Next up we have the infamous Meenstreak at Cedar Point. Wow. How times change. That's all I can say. Meenstreak was awful and I consider it the worst coaster I've ever ridden personally. The last time I rode Meenstreak was probably in 2007 I want to say. I rode it several times. I tried to give it many chances because I thought oh maybe I'm just getting bad rides on it. I gave it many chances and the last time I rode it my back hurt so bad after riding it. And I was really young when I rode all of these coasters mind you. Everyone on these lists. Like I haven't ridden any of these in years. Obviously the ones at Geogal Lake. Geogal Lake has been closed for 12 years now. And Meenstreak last time I rode was about 2007 I want to say. And just absolutely terrible ride. Boring sluggish trims on the first drop. There was nothing special to in my opinion. It was good looking. It was a nice looking ride. That's all it was good for. They took in my opinion one of the worst coasters in the world and turned it into probably the best coaster on the planet. And that's absolutely amazing. Meenstreak gets a 4 out of 10 which I feel like that's a little generous to be honest. But 4 out of 10. It's a pretty bad ride. Next up Raging Wolf Bobs. This is the second worst coaster I've ever ridden. This was also an absolutely awful awful awful wooden coaster. It's so unfortunate. This was another really nice looking ride. They had it painted white. Really cool looking. The ride layout was patterned after the Riverview Parks Bobs. Which was a legendary ride for its intensity at the time. But this ride did just did not live up to that ride whatsoever. This was 80 feet tall 50 miles an hour built by the infamous Den Corporation. Absolutely terrible ride. So rough. It just jackhammered you everywhere. Just like Meenstreak. Just boring. And it just consisted of these huge stretched out turnarounds basically. No airtime. Just not a good ride. I do not miss this one. I'll also give Raging Wolf Bobs a 4 out of 10. And once again I feel like that's being a little generous. But terrible ride. Next up we have Villain. The last wooden coaster at Jiago Lake. Which I'm going to talk about. Now with Villain. This is pretty interesting. I would consider Villain one of the worst coasters I've ridden. But it had so much potential. And I always thought it was so unfortunate that it was such a painful ride. It was always so rough from what I remember. It was always a really really rough ride. And it had a great layout. This was a really nice looking hybrid CCI. Great Custom Coasters International Wooden Coaster. With an awesome really unique triple out back layout. There was even a little bit of a trick track in there. So that was really cool. It had Gerstlauer trains on it. And this ride was just not great. I'm going to give it a 6.5 out of 10. I feel like that's way higher than I probably would have rated it back then. And part of that rating might just be, you know, the nostalgia of it. And Jiago Lake is gone and everything. And I would like to see something like this again. But I feel like if I rode it now I might enjoy it more, you know, with more of an open mind. But what I know is when I rode this, when I was really young and went to Jiago Lake, it was just a really painful ride to me. And I didn't really enjoy it that much. So Villain, I'll give a 6.5 out of 10. The last coaster we're going to talk about on here in my defunct coasters list is Wildcat at Cedar Point. Not much to say about this. This was a standard clone model. It was built by SwarchCop. It's a Wildcat model. Basically, SwarchCop's version of a Panfari Zyclone. But I always had a great time on Wildcat. I do kind of miss this ride just because it was such a fun ride. I rode it a lot whenever I went to Cedar Point and it had lots of, you know, really tight high speed turns and just a great time. I always had a lot of fun on this ride. Fun fact, this is the only coaster I've ridden where I got stuck on the lift hill and we got evacuated from the lift hill. It was like right after it started going up the incline, but this is the only time this has ever happened to me. So Wildcat, I'm going to give a solid 7 out of 10. I think it's a really fun ride. A little underappreciated, you know, it's nothing too spectacular, but really good for what it is. Great family coaster. As a little bit of a bonus here, I'm going to talk about Mantis at Cedar Point. The way I count credits personally, I don't consider the floorless, I don't consider the stand up to floorless conversions to be new credits, because to me, if it has the same exact track and layout, it's still the same ride, even though the experience is a little different. Mantis, not a great ride. I'm glad it was converted into floorless. At least it's a decent amount better now. Quite a bit better actually. I mean, these stand up coasters, they're just, they're just ball crushers. Just awful. Really uncomfortable. I only rode Mantis a couple times. I kind of wish I would have rode it a little bit more to get a better feel for it, but I rode it a couple times and that was enough for me to get a decent enough view on it as to what I thought about it. Wasn't a huge fan of it and I'm glad it's reguru now. So I'm going to give Mantis a 6 out of 10. It was a decent enough coaster. It wasn't too terrible, but it wasn't great. So I hope you guys enjoyed this video. I just thought this would be kind of cool to share my experiences on some of these rides that are lost to the past and let me know what you guys thought about these rides if you rode them, what defunct coasters you've ridden, what you think about them, and be sure to like, comment, subscribe.
