3. Vampire (Chessington World of Adventures, England) 1990

4. Big Bad Wolf (Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Virginia) June 15, 1984 - September 7, 2009
5. Eagle's Fortress (Everland, South Korea) September 8, 1992 - April 17, 2010 (I went by announcement of removal, because I don't know exactly when it closed. I know it was in 2009)

As for what I think may be next...

Well, Iron Dragon is at Cedar Point, so I don't think they'd remove it. After all, Cedar Point is the "coaster capital of the world." =)

As for Ninja... well Jay Thomas, Neal Thurman, and Tim Burkhart are claiming that Ninja's staying. But you never know.

Vampire got floorless trains a few years back. It's probably safe.

Now for Vortex... it's probably the next to go. Let's face it, there's already survey markers around it (I understand that survey markers could be for anything, but again I say you never know), and it is reported that it's sounding squeaky like Big Bad Wolf did before it was removed.

Flight Deck... well, someone claims that the final season for this one is 2011.

Anywho... stay tuned for new updates!
