The Blue Streak did not operate for a few years in the 1990s; in fact it was added to a list of endangered coasters, classified asSBNO (Standing But Not Operating) by the American Coaster Enthusiasts.
2022 February 17, Bobbie Butterfield, “Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Has a Winner With Iron Gwazi”, inTheme Park Insider[1]:
For a bit of background, the original Gwazi was a dual-tracked wooden coaster - the only wooden coaster at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay - which became increasingly rough, causing the Tiger side to be closed in 2012 and the Lion side to beSBNO since 2015.
2023 April 27, Rachel Hawkins, “Kentucky Kingdom Retires T3 Roller Coaster”, inCoaster101[2]:
Built in 1995, this coaster was listed as standing but not operating (SBNO) from 2010-2014 when the park was closed and then reopened in 2015 when the original Vekoma trains were replaced by a single new train from KumbaK, and later a second train in 2016.
