Canobie Coaster Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Paragon Park intrigues me most without a doubt. I grew up mere minutes from Nantasket Beach. Nantasket is an amazing beach, but it would be on an entirely different level with a full boardwalk park running alongside it. I still look at those condos with disdain. The only remnants are a rarely opened Fascination parlor and a great classic carousel. I'm glad the Giant Coaster found a second life at Six Flags America, but I still wish it were here in Massachusetts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historyfreak92 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 My god Astroworld! I still sometimes can't get over it or get it out of my head! I just keep day dreaming about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p-sychiatrist Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Definitely Palisades Park, purely out of my fascination with old-fashioned parks and historic sites NJ/NYC. My dad actually went there as a child with my grandma, so I took him to Knoebels and he fell in love with the park and of course Flying Turns. He said the atmosphere reminded him a lot of Palisades... But holy crap the Lake Placid Bobsled though!! WHAT IS THIS MADNESS BRUH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dombot Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 ^ Is that.. is that a helix after the first drop? A straight-down first drop? On a bobsled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Geek Mojo Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Opryland. I'm only an hour from Nashville...I would love for them to open the park again and tear down that stupid mall. It was a horrible mistake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillrider Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Freedomland USA. This was a large park in New York that only lasted a few seasons. The park had several large attractions, and was designed to compete with Disney. Cedarpoints dark rides( pirat ride and earthquake) both came from this park. More about it here... https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/the-rise-and-suspiciously-rapid-fall-of-freedomland-u-s-a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aueft Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Probably Mgm Grand Adventures for me. Out of all of the defunct parks that I have heard of, that one sounds the most interesting with some really unique attractions. I wish there was more information / videos of it online.

ABW Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 ^ Is that.. is that a helix after the first drop? A straight-down first drop? On a bobsled? My thoughts exactly! Like, WHAT!? Also, perfect GIF, 10/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
