I would like to see DT and the Pirate ride come back. My kids loved DT and the Pirate ride was a favorite when I was a kid.

For me, it's more than just one. The rides of past that O always loved are (in no particular order):
Mill Race
Space Spiral
Disaster Transport/Avalanche Run (loved both versions)
Demon Drop
Wildcat
Schwabinchen
Pirate Ride
White Water Landing
Paddlewheel Excursions

I know it's not a ride, but I loved The Bernstein Bears when they were in the park.

Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

I just visited Kennywood recently whom has a decent selection of old fashioned family rides etc. and I found this old thread I started and wanted to see what people's ideas were a year later. It's funny I didn't originally say Paddlewheel Excursions but more and more this would get my vote for one of those rides I wish CP would get back. Like the CP/LE railroad, there aren't many duplicate ride experiences out there like PWE offered.

^yea, I always thought it was a pale version of Western Cruise...but I do miss it now. It was a nice ride to take a break and relax on.

Cedar Point's Cyclone coaster (1926-1951)

Since the title of the thread says "Attraction", I guess I'll throw this one in.

I miss Fascination. That game was a blast.


Delivering the best since 1870.

lol about fascination! I remember my friend's mom dropping us in the park while she played that all day.

I love riding Banyern Curve at Kennywood, it brought back so many memories.

I think I'd bring back the giant slide.

Obviously the Cyclone. But, if I have to be "realistic," Wildcat. That was a VERY good small coaster

Just wondering what do you mean by obviously? Were you familiar with it?

Demon Drop without a doubt! Way better than Power Tower blue.

Chaos was awesome too. I would love to see a return of that kind of ride to the park.

Rotor, Pirate Ride, Wildcat and the Boat Ride. The first two would be so easy to recreate. Rotor does not take up much space and it a great entry level ride. It always made my stomach flip. And Pirate Ride (or similar) would be so easy to recreate, since the darn building is still there! Dark rides are fun.

Wildcat was scary because you literally felt like to were going to fly off the track. And again, a great intro coaster.

And finally, the Boat Ride. Was a great combination of relaxation, laughing and visual attractions. Who doesn't remember the boneyard and the bad jokes. Why can't they find a way to recreate it????? Even as a teenager, it was fun, as we heckled the ride ops with bad responses to their jokes.

C'mon Cedar Point. If you want to be more 'family friendly' these would be a good start.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but wasn't there a "house of mirrors" over by the earthquake too? I vaguely remember attempting it one time and then had to back my way out because I was afraid.

Jumbo Jet. Only got to ride it once.

Rotor. Was just a fun ride.

Double Ferris Wheel. Never really been scared to ride any ride anywhere. But that one scared me to death.

Demon Drop. They should have moved it to MiA instead of Dorney.

When I was a kid, I loved watching my mom play Fascination. I'd love to see that return.

As far as rides go, White Water Landing needs to come back. It was one of my favorites growing up!
