This is a list of former rides that are no longer in the park. To see a list of currently operating rides, visit the main Rides page.

I have very little to go on for official information about these old rides. A few are mentioned on the Adventureland website, but some on this list were just told to me. I won't have any details or photos of them, so if you have corrections, please let me know.
