Pictorium?! That's a perfect family get away from all the thrills and hot weather. It's also a classic. They wouldn't get rid of it. (hopefully)

Whizzer, not likely. IMS, probably for the rest of the season. Pictorium, no.

I think IW, IMS, Whizzer, Stargate, and Hometown Fun Machine will be the next to go.

If they were to remove a coaster it would probably be Iron wolf or Whizzer. But I doubt that they will soon. As for other rides, Expect to see some changes around IMS, Anyone else notice that the park has stopped selling Ice Mountain Water?

I don't think they'll get rid of AE for a LONG time. It's a woodie, don't they last long? They also retracked one lift hill and will retrack the other one for next season. It also seems to be fairly reliable. AE really is an awesome coaster with that first drop. I get more air on it opposed to Raging Bull's for some reason.

Iron Wolf also should be expected to stay with us for a long time. I just don't see another major coaster fitting in the small area. It's also a B&M, regardless of its roughness.

Binks, yeah I noticed their water sponsor changed.. Saw it on the last park map I got. (Can't find it.. argh!)

They obviously wouldn't have the ride named for their ex-sponsor so maybe they'll rename it "Yankee Clipper". :D Their new sponsor's name seemed too awkward for a ride name.

Edit: Minor grammatical errors.

The only problem with this post is that everyone is saying their LEAST FAVORITE coasters are going to go. I don't like Iron Wolf either but don't you notice the long lines? American Eagle is the same way. Now most of you haven't said Déjà Vu, even though it has a VERY low capacity. Why? Because you like that ride.

I hope you're not saying DV is one of the next to go.

Deja Vu usually has longer lines than Iron Wolf and Eagle. AE and IW usually don't have long lines, only on a really crowded day.

Deja Vu isn't going anytime soon. It is one of the popular rides, and it is still somewhat new because it just opened late in 2001.

I know a lot of people complain about the problems it has too. This year it has been running better than ever and I've barely seen it break down out of my 8 visits in 2005.

No, don't get me wrong. I love Déjà Vu too. I really hope they keep it actually. It just bothers me that people only think the rides they hate are going to be the next to go. They would never dream of thinking their favorite coaster could be next.

I don't know, I wouldn't be surprised if Splashwater falls was suddenly renamed "the Zodiac Splash"

Whizzer. and as far as saying they wont get ride or this or that because its a CLASSIC, is wrong. that would be like saying, well AE could collapse at anytime from weardown but its a classic, lets keep it running and hope for the best. not saying that AE is wearing down yet, but eventually its gonna happen, when there wont be AE or WHIZZER, and years and years from now, they will have to remove batman, and raging bull...times change, we cant hold onto everything just because its what WE want

I think it will be the whizzer!

Déjà Vu isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

A way to show is that it just got repainted.
It's green. It's blue. It's all over you! Enjoy your ride on Déjà Vu

I think maybe whizzer, but i wished they took down the stargate thing and put a coaster in its place and maybe into some of the parking lot around it if nessacery.
I'm running to Bull on opening day, anyone gets in my way and they'll get trampled.
