  • 1.  Park of the living dead

    Posted Oct 01, 2025 09:39 AM

    So, it's October and officially spooky season so I thought we'd look at our zombie parks, that is parks filled with our defunct credits that, being October, have come back from the dead.

    For example: Here's my "Zombie Park"

    Disaster Transport

    Wicked Twister

    Mantis

    Mean Streak

    Python (BGT)

    Scorpion (BGT)

    Batwing (Six Flags America)

    Roar (Six Flags Discovery Kingdom)

    Wild Cat 79 (Cedar Point)

    Shockwave (Six Flags Great America)

    A zombie park would truly have to be themed to something menacing and all things scary. My zombie park would have a huge volcano as its centerpiece, which would obviously be Volcano: The Blast Coaster. 

    I could see different lands that would group coasters together, alongside other rides…

    The Wild Kingdom: scary animal coasters, including Scorpion, Anaconda, the Big Bad Wolf, and Son of Beast (with Titan track or something, obviously). Could go WAY old school and include the Idora Park Wildcat. And don't forget the dual Flying Dutchman Hawks. All the way out back would be Kingda Ka, still with the Zumanjaro drop towers.

    It Came From The Other Side: eerie coasters from other dimensions such as HyperSonic XLC and Do-dodonpa (bonus points if I could somehow include Moonsault Scramble and get away with it!). Vortex from Kings Island would also go here - what *is* that hand in the logo - as well as Disaster Transport where we would all ride to Alaska for eternity. 

    The Spooky Classics: long gone but not forgotten children's and junior coasters. My rarest credit is Scooby's Ghoster Coaster from KI (the odd suspended one!) and I could see that there, right next to Thunder Road and the Geauga Lake Big Dipper. Bonus points if I could put Garfield's Nightmare in this land for absolutely no reason whatsoever.
