If you mean The Beast, it’s certainly the best in the park!

I know! Couldn’t be a more suitable name! 😂

And did you get to?

Thank you, I appreciate it! I bet that was a fun job. The music was the best part, still up there with one of the best didn’t park songs ever. I forgot to include it in the video but I once saw a show at Disneyland Paris that featured Dream Our Dream sung live.

I still enjoy that part of it, you still get unprepared first timers in Florida!

So sorry to hear that. It’s so sad to hear that a happy place for many people isn’t always the case.

So do many people. I always think they are a theme park staple.

Ha ha ha! I can imagine the smell!

I’ve been on a few rides like that. You can’t wait to ride then it’s a disappointment!

I really liked it too!

Thanks for the info, it's much appreciated. I guess my memory isn't as good as I thought! Ive been lucky enough to ride every version around the world so I guess I can blame the confusion on that.

Both tower of terrors had different drop sequences I Google the question did the tower of terror in California adventure have different drop senquences, which means that each ride is unique. Explanation The ride originally had a single drop, but was upgraded with a second drop in 1996 and a third in 1999. In 2003, the ride's triple drop was replaced with a computer-selected randomized multi-drop sequence. The randomized drop sequence means that you don't know how many times you'll drop, or how far. This makes each ride experience unique, so it's likely that you'll never experience the same ride twice.

The park or my video? 😅

@ The video. 😀👏🏾🎊🎉

And thank you for watching! I’m so glad the video could bring back some memories for you.

I couldn’t find any definitive answer, but I suspect they were scrapped.

That’s one of my highlights of the food and wine festival. Getting to see the original Soarin’ film.

It sounds like you enjoyed many of the rides on this list!

@ really appreciate the time and effort you put in because while some people may just see a little video for some of us this was a walk down memory lane! For me, I had actually completely forgotten about Shockwave, it was cool having my memory jogged like that. Do you live near the park? I have lived in Maryland my whole life other than for 5 years where I lived in Japan so I have visited Kings Dominion, Six Flags America, Hershey Park, and as a small kid Dutch Wonderland a ton! Anyway thanks again!!

Thank you so much. I’m sharing a passion I have for theme park history and love that people enjoy what I do. If you can’t tell from my accent, I’m actually from England. I grew up in the 90’s obsessed with theme parks, especially US parks I had seen on this new invention “the internet”. Eventually getting to visit as I got older and they didn’t disappoint!

@ haha yeah I picked up on that you were just so knowledgeable I assumed you were stateside ;) again thanks

What they have done in the past few years is fantastic. They have really revitalised some areas of the park.

I know, it seemed to have so much space. I loved how all the different attractions crossed over each other.

@ honestly even though frontierland shrunk, the abandoned spots are home to a lot of critters living in the park

I love all those old classic flat rides. If I ever see any of them at other parks I make sure I jump on.

Thanks for watching. I had a pretty good run through my last visit, but it does seem to back up a lot.

I agree so much. Looking back it was all the pun filled names that were part of that for me, just way too far. But it was designed in the ‘90s! That said, because I am not from California I found the theme interesting and exotic at the time!

I hope Son of Beast hasn’t put her off for life. Don’t let one bad ride spoil them all.

I agree. It took away so much of the atmosphere. It always used to be electric!

I bet if you visited now you would still recognise some things from your visits! The Rotor is included in another of my videos showcasing more lost rides from the park, many from the earlier years of Cedar Point.

I loved A Bug’s Land too, especially the cute and quirky theming. I didn’t like how you could see the Tower of Terror, until a tour guide said to me that it was as if A Bug’s Land was in the hotel’s front lawn. Suddenly gazing up at the tower the perspective made total sense!

@@CoasterConnectionsthat’s actually pretty cool.

I did too! I loved that the rotating building was kept when it was transformed.

That certainly was a fun little ride, it was one that got better with time as the landscaping matured. I loved the park when it first opened, but looking back and visiting at all points of its evolution I can see its flaws.

@@CoasterConnectionshopefully web slingers gets added to this list 😂

@@dayoldbread1696I agree, Webslingers is an awful ride

Even Tower of Terror? Lol

@@jacob_e_lynch glad I’m not the only one who hates it lol

The one in the park today is a completely new ride. Check out my recent video for the full history of the ride.

I remember it fondly too, riding for the first time and not knowing what was going to happen!

Thats something I might have to research. I know that had a river caves style boat ride, so it's possible that had something similar.

The bat that exists today is a completely different ride. Check out my recent video for a full history of the original!

Yes the replacement is much smoother! 😁

@ haven’t went on it yet. I’ll probably try it later though

I have similar memories. When I was younger this seemed like an amazing place.

@@CoasterConnectionsI’m talking specifically about Tokaydo Express. That and the turtle chase next to it were my fav rides xxx

They did indeed replace it with Playstation/Ice Blast. There are some monster rides still around if you know where to look. I rode some recently in the U.S. and they are still fun!

I can imagine it did! It's one ride I would have loved to have experienced.

Unfortunately it is, and the worst part is it still sits there on top of the entrance as a reminder of what once was!

I love how it followed the terrain of the mountainside.

I do love the front row, seeing all the inversions coming up!

I hope you could still see a bit without them! I always wear a strap and they even stayed on for Kingda Ka.

@ I could, just driving at night was a lil dicey but if in the daylight I didn’t really need them. 20 years later I very much need them in the daylight even😂😂😂😂

It certainly was! Thanks for watching!

Those air powered rides have such a distinct sound.

Now that would be amazing! Just don't let Zamperla anywhere near it!

@ heyyyy it was zamperlas first time doing tt2 give slack lol

I agree, I would love to see more rides like this.

Thank you so much. I appreciate you watching!

Thats the measure of a good roller coaster, scary but enjoyable!

You are one of the lucky ones. The fact you still remember it now shows what an iconic ride it was.

I remember it well. It was super-smooth with those tires.

...and with a faster acceleration and smoother ride. Remember 25 years ago the speed of the launch was unprecedented.

It's crazy how that one park was the beginning of what we see today.

There are so times parks did this and the attraction failed - you think they would learn their lesson. I guess they always look to save money!
