  • Northern Lights (Chance Falling Star)
  • Bayern Curve (Schwarzkopf Bayern Curve)
  • Wild Rails (Schwarzkopf Wild Mouse)
  • Skyscraper (Relocated to Cedar Point)
  • Tot Town: In the space now occupied by the Power Tower was once a small area of rides, a jungle gym and ball pool designed for small children.
  • The Flume – (1979–2008), Known as Ye Olde Log Flume until the early 1990s, the Flume was a log flume ride. The Flume was permanently closed and dismantled at the end of the 2008 season. Soak City waterpark (previously Whitewater Country waterpark) was extended in place of the Flume to accommodate the installation of Breakers Bay, a wave pool attraction.
  • Bumper Boats (Closed 2009, demolished in 2010)
  • Mild Thing: (Closed 2010) Closed as part of Valleyfair's revamping of the children's area, was replaced by Cosmic Coaster.
  • Chaos – (1999–2011), Chaos is a spinning ride which starts spinning in a horizontal position and gradually lifts in to a vertical position. Each individual ride unit flips 360 degrees on its own axis. Chaos was removed prior to the 2011 season. There is currently no knowns plans for the empty area.
  • Skipper and Dolly Dolphin Show (1977?-Ended late 1980s) Dolphin show featuring two Bottlenose Dolphins named Skipper and Dolly. Given the fact that the dolphins could not be properly housed here during the frigid Minnesota winter months and that various other amusement parks had their own "Skipper and Dolly" dolphin shows (such as Pontchartrain Beach and Six Flags Houston), it can be assumed the two animals were transferred from location to location, depending on whichever parks wanted to incorporate the dolphins into their summertime show schedules.
