<P> 2000 saw the debut of Camp Snoopy, a themed children's play area . A junior coaster (managed like a kiddie coaster in that adults without children cannot ride) called Woodstock Express was added that year, bringing the coaster count to eight, including four adult coasters, a junior coaster, and three kiddie coasters . The Wild Mouse was also added this year . Also, a new separate - charge admission thrill ride, Skyscraper, a Booster - type thrill ride by Gravity Works, Inc., was added . </P> <P> In 2001, a Bolliger & Mabillard designed roller coaster called Talon was added near the now - front entrance of park . The ride was a steel inverted looping coaster with ski lift type seats, and approximately the size of the Raptor coaster at Cedar Point . The addition of the new adult coaster brought the park's roller coaster count to nine . </P> <P> In 2002, the park added Meteor . Meteor is a flatride that was built by Zamperla in Italy . Meteor takes up to 24 riders each ride on 2 swing arms . The waterpark was also modified with a few waterslides </P> <P> In 2003, Wildwater Kingdom was overhauled . Several older body slides were removed and replaced with four modern colored body slides, two of which were open and two of which were enclosed tube slides . Three inflated tube slides were also added . One of the slides is mostly open and straight down, another is winding and completely enclosed, and the third slide also winds but is partially open . A new children's water play area was also added . In July, the park announced that Hercules would close Labor Day and in 2005 be replaced by Hydra the Revenge, a $13 million, steel floorless Bolliger & Mabillard coaster . Hercules closed and would be replaced as a result of high maintenance costs, a rough ride, and low ridership . Soon after, it was demolished, reducing the coaster count to eight . </P>
