Hi. Basically, this thread is to name your favorite "lost" attraction. Lost rides are good rides that no one actually rides anymore. Mine would be Goldrusher at SFMM. Goldrusher is a good ride, but i've never really waited for it. Revolution is slowly heading dow that path too... Post! Please!:)

Magnum XL-200.
Hands down.
If you see a line on that ride over 20 minutes.. you have seen a miracle. The ride is amazing.. and the lines are never there.

I going to agree with SnooSnoo. Magnum is an awesome and unique ride, especially in the back seat. I've never waited more than 10 min. for it. It's a shame to see such a great classic coaster go unnoticed. It's good for me though since I don't have to wait in line long.

The day it started running 1 train after its accident back in May it was a 1 hour wait from the back of the station :eek::eek::eek:
Next day they still had 1 train but went a lot faster thankfully.
I think Ocean Motion is the most discrete ride at Cedar Point though. I get sick on those rides though so I had no desire to ride it.

That's a good ride, my mum doesn't like it, most people don't, Mainly because it's a "spin and puke" type ride, but I still like it.

Ocean Motion is pretty discrete given that I've been to CP three times and never seen it.

Medusa at SFGADV, its in the very farthest back corner, and pretty frackin'
strange if the line is over 15 minutes.
Maybe it was my luck, but El Toro, only had a 30 minute wait, which, honest, should have been longer.

Snoo-I saw a miracle-1.25 hour wait for Magnum a Saturday I went. I luckily got on front row in 15 minutes before it got too crowded.
I'd say a couple such as Magnum, Medusa at SFGADV, and Nitro at SFGADV. If your there at the right time, it's under a 20 minute wait and remainds that way until everyone comes off Ka and Toro.

Allow me to help. It looks like this:

Nessie at Hansa-Park is one of the parks biggest rides,but I don`t usually see an long line,the line is usually so short that you only have to miss one train to ride!

The reason why Medusa and Nitro have short waits is because of ride capaticity, or did anyone forget.
To me, it's Rolling Thunder. It's dwarfed by El Toro now, but that thing is the original airtime coaster for GAdv

Blue Streak at CP. I've never seen it with any wait at all, which is sad, since it's a really good ride. Also, Mean Streak at CP. Never a wait, most likely because nobody can find it! (Took me a day)

The Seas with Nemo and Friends for the first couple of Epcot hours.
Never anyone there!
The Jounrney into Imagination queue is usually empty too. As was El Rio Del Tiempo, but Gran Fiesta Tour never seems like a bad queue.

The Living Seas is never crowded, mostly because they ruined it with Nemo.
JIYI is cool. The first one was waaaaaaay better, but the new one is okay, better than the one it replaced.

I've seen Blue Streak with considerable waits (30+ minutes) quite commonly. And while I'll agree Mean Streak is hard to find, It think most people don't ride it because they'd rather go home without a shattered skull. ;)

Really? Wow! I guess I've only been back there twice, and never really looked. :p
This is the ride that I was talking about earlier:

It get's busy when everyone comes of Soarin' :p I get a Fastpass for Soarin' and do Nemo. Works every time! :up: At least they have a full working dark-ride like thing there again now.

Agreed with the poster above. Blue Streak has awful lines in the morning since it's a) at the front of the park, and b) small, so whole families ride it.
Mean Streak never has a line, but it's also not a great ride either.

Right at the end, where they also have the Nemo character swimming around too, but the tunnel has been convered and turned into an 'EAC' area. Why I don't think anyone knows, other than to fit with the story.

But all the normal walk-through Aquariams are still pretty much the same!

Mindbender at SFOG. When I went, there was no line. You could get a walk on front row. Everyone just heads for Goliath and Batman and ignores It. It makes me sad, It's one of the best rides at the park.

Screaming Eagle at SFSTL. 3-10 minute wait. It has wonderful airtime. They moved the entrance, so now it's almost impossible to find. So sad.
