Starliner
After spending so much time and money relocating and rebuilding this historic roller coaster, it was a shame that it only operated here for one year. Why not keep it open as a bonus for people who visited the water park or the botanical gardens that Cypress Gardens operated after the thrill rides closed? A few years later, after the park was converted into Legoland Florida, there was space to keep this ride as the park's second wood coaster.
The pieces of the ride sat around here for a couple of years, so there was a chance that the ride would be relocated, but since the hardware and lumber were eventually scrapped, Starliner's history seems to be finally over.
