I was wondering if any of you could tell me the cost of these coasters and thrill rides, I cant find them anywhere. I am doing a math project on the correlation between attendance, major park investments, and admission costs.

Canada's Wonderland - Cliffhanger
- Shockwave
- Psyclone
- Sledge Hammer
- Tomb Raider: The Ride

Six Flags Magic Mountain - Goliath
- Deja Vu
- X
- Scream!

Six Flags Great Adventure - Kingda Ka
- Superman: Ultimate Flight
- Nitro

That should be it, thanks for your help!

Kinda ka was 25 mill and if scream is medusas twin then it should be around 15 million.

I have a friend who has the real blueprints from superman: ultimate flight from B&m, He has also a paper which tells how much the ride would cost. I think it was about $25.000.000, Lemme ask it and i'll get back to you.

Ps. Have you tried RCDB? It shows from some ride the costs [:)]
Coastercount: 1410 (I've seen the world and it's horrid contraptions... @.@)

Thanks for your help guys.

Dirk, I have looked at rcdb and found some costs for rides that I didn't post, such as El Toro. Now I only need the costs for 2 more rides: Deja Vu and Nitro. Thanks again, and remember, I only need approximations, just to show a correlation.

Tried that too. This stuff is pretty difficult to find. I was hoping someone would have a good memory or a favourite ride in my list ;)
