The Following Rides have an unknown status because they were not listed in the auction and I do not know if they've already been sold, relocated or what is going on with them. There are many rides that Cedar Fair still plans on relocating but which ones and where are still not known.
Tea Party (Zamperla Tea Cup)
Star Castle Voyage (Vekoma Swing Carousel)
Merry Oldies (Arrow Dynamics Antique Cars) (Already Removeed)
Carousel (Marcus Illions) (Still On Site, but headed to another Cedar Fair Park)
Dodgems (Duce) (Already Removeed)
Turbo Bungee
Pepsi Plunge (Sansel Flume Ride) was up for auction but didn't recieve any bids. It is not known what will be done with this ride either. Bus since it was up for auction I wouldn't count on Cedar Fair relocating it. Maybe they can use it for spare parts for another one of their flumes. (Still On Site)
