Top Ten Defunct Roller Coasters
The Bat was an Arrow Dynamics suspended coaster built for Kings Island. As this was the first of Arrow's suspended coasters, this one had a lot of faults and was closed after only a few years in operation.
King Cobra is another of Kings Island's many prototype coasters, this time, it's a standup coaster by TOGO of Japan, the first of it's kind in North America. It closed due to TOGO going bankrupt.
This seems to be a normal Vekoma headbanger, except it bangs your head backwards! The coaster was closed due to Hurricane Katrina and has sat dormant ever since.
Another KECO/TAFT King Cobra, this time, with a "K", this one is a Schwarzkopf Shuttle Loop that glides over Lake Charles. The coaster was sold off to make way for Anaconda.
Another Schwarzkopf shuttle loop, this one was relocated from Great America to Over Georgia in 1995, and marked the second Schwarzkopf for the park. It closed in 2001 to make way for Superman.
Another coaster closed due to Katrina. This is your typical CCI Woodie of the early 2000s, with it's towering steel structure, focus on rising and diving turns and being enjoyable at the same time.
This is the first coaster to be given the RMC treatment. This original version got rough over the years so Six Flags called a seemingly random company in Idaho, and history was born...
This coaster was a coaster meant to be rotated, but made it's final stop at Magic Mountain. Besides it's roughness, it's notable for spawning the careers of Mr. Bolliger & Mr. Mabillard.
The original location(s) of the one above it, this coaster was smoother at it's original two locations due to it being newer and not moved around as much. Both at Great America and Over Georgia.
This is a dueling wooden coaster as popular at the time. It closed after 2013 due to the structure deteorating. One of the trains is still on display and a section of track was left under El Toro.
I went on this rollercoaster back in January 2016 and it sucks that this ride was closed down and replaced with another ride.
