Renovation!

If you could renovate any ride in the world what would it be? Personaly i would restore the classic Cyclone at Southport Pleasureland.

Flashback, Mr. Twister or the Idora Wildcat.

woodie- i agree

also if they could smooth out psyclone at SFMM with some new wood that isn't completely warped, that wouldn't be bad.

Sadly Disney have played with the ride a little too much and its getting older faster!

The scenary is really becoming a bit tatty which I suppose is normal for a coaster built in 1993!

I would like to see the ride thunder around the track backwards again! I know this one is almost impossible, but I think they should come up with an alternative restraint for the ride, or at least but some more padding on them!!!

renovate any ride? So not only coasters. Well, The bermuda triangle @ mpg. Since all those years the timing from elements have been off. Waterfeatures and alot of other cool effect are off or broken. Recently the fog in the final tunnel has came back but not fully. Also usually the volcano did blow fire. I've never seen that happen again since six flags took it over. They really should active all effects. And the lights that are broken, fix them. Maybe rework the volcano, cause it isn't looking realistic anymore... They should create a waterhole in the boat so the water could run out. But not through the hole inside the boat.

Really, if i could renovate a ride. That would defenatly been it. Cause it's a fun ride, but since six flags everything is ruined...

I dont know, i would probably renovate corkscrew at Alton. It just needs to be smoother. Actually, im lying, i would just take the whole ride down and replace it with a woodie that goes down into the valley behind it. [:D]

Uhhh...

Get rid of teh trim, make the MCRB brake less, and retrack Mean Streak at CP. Also they really ought to replace that yellow train, it sqeaks sooo bad and one of the restraints doesn't open properly.

Yeah I agree on that one!

The Revolution at SFMM, would love to see that restored to its origninal full potential.

and my favorite woodie-- The Screamin Eagle at SFSTL
*during fright fest this year, it looked as though they actually have started restoring this one)

RATTLER at SFFT!

that ride already is great. Make the already huge drop go all the way into the bottom of the canyon and smooth it out! If that thing is restored to its old glorious days just with new wood it would be even better!

I agree with Jakizle, the drop used to go deeper into the canyon but for some reason they shortened the drop. That would be a great ride if restored to the orginal layout.

Err, Jpecool, i believe Corkscrew did just get a mini renovation this year....well a new paint job anyway

I would renovate Grand National and Big Dipper at Blackpool, they just need sanding down and repainted and they'd look supurb

thanks rob, and look at how much space and potential Rattler has with its drop:

I agree with jpecools last comment, they should just rip it out and stick the woodie in, reagardless of planning permission

edit: and this picture shows how the Rattlers drop used to be doesn't it?

you can see a clear difference, that's awful, I can't believe they did that? and why did they?

well, they should of kept Drachen Fire at BGW and make it smoother or get a different company to renavate

I belive they did that because some people thought it was too "intense", so they had to go destroy one of the best drops of all time, so they wouldn't get sued for no reason. *sigh*
