Hell no, Vekoma Boomerangs are good coasters for parks that can't afford or don't have the space for some custom coaster. However big park chains have no excuse for getting a Boomerang.

I'm not sure what coaster should be demolished but if I had to choose I'd go with a Superman: Ultimate Flight flying coaster. It's such a short and boring coaster even though you're in a flying position.

Ive been on a couple that were actually smooth. I think, like their SLC's, when not horribly maintained give a fun, unique and forceful ride.

I'd hate to see Excalibur get torn down but I see it happening soon. A ride-op told me that it's a hassle to maintain and it's losing them money, seeing as no one really rides it anymore.

But I think Flashback getting punted is just a possible as Excalibur.

Spinball whizzer. Its a good coaster, but WTF is it doing in Alton towers when it has such a small capacity? Just a gripe - i really like the ride but its annoying that i can never get on it because it has such a long queue for a small coaster!

Erm, other than that, probably most Soquet rides....

I don't see it leaving for a while (2 to 3 years). It has been rumored for a very long time it will be leaving. It isn't costing them anymore money than what Corkscrew is costing them. in a couple years though it could be removed because of an expected B&M that we where supposed to get this year but Cedar Fair wanted to test out a wooden coaster instead so we will have to wait a few more years for the B&M invert to be installed.

Thats what Renegade was supposed to be. We should be getting one in 2 to 4 years at the max.

I NO THAT PERILOUS PLUNGE IS NOT A ROLLER COASTER, BUT IT REALLY SHOULD BE DEMOLISHED BECAUSE IT IS THE MOST DANGEROUS WATER RIDE ON EARTH AND IT REALLY ISNT SAFE!!! THE FUNNY THING WAS I WAS TOLD BY A OPERATOR THAT I WAS TO SKINNY TO RIDE, THAT I WOULD FALL OFF... I HAVE NEVER BEEN TOLD THAT, I HAVE HEARD OF TO BIG OR OVERWEIGHT, BUT NOT UNDERWEIGHT!!!
