The Big Bad Wolf was a favorite of many guests from 1984-2009. 
The ride was closed after 25 years to make way for a new coaster for the 2012 season.

The motion theater that had been home to Questor and other films was turned into Corkscrew Hill as part of the transformation of Hastings into Killarney. For the 2010 season the film was changed to Europe in the Air.   The Castle O'Sullivan show was added as part of the Killarney section. The multimedia show was removed in 2008 and tunred into an indoor dining location.
     
     
     
The LeMans cars were one of the original attractions when Busch Gardens opened in 1975 and were removed at the end of the 2006 season to make way for Griffon.  
     
 
     
   
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
Before it was Ireland, this section of the park was Hastings  The Wild Izzy (later Wild Maus) which was removed for construction of Curse of Darkastle and sent to Busch Gardens Tampa  The only remnant of the former Threadneedle area of the park is the Threadneedle Bridge  
     
     
A ride which didn't last for long in the park was "The Gladiator's Gauntlet", an odd looking ride
which was equipped with over the shoulder restraints despite the fact it never inverted.
