^Yes, because we all know that the ride op designed the ride... not to mention that rides are clearly more dangerous than, say, cars.

Personally, I never like to see any coaster destroyed, but if I were to pick one I'd have to say Son of Beast. That thing has given me more bruises than all other coasters combined!

Do some pushups, situps and get bigger then. Also don't use caps lock.

Mr. Six's Pandemonium should be demolished because a 32 sec. ride shouldn't have a 2 hour line.

I'd say Magnus Collosus. It's gone from being a little bumpy to casuing noticeable pain.

Mean Streak at Cedar Point!!!


of all the rides needing a demolition, mean streak is NOT one of them, no offense but i love to have my ass kicked by that coaster at the end of the day. who cares if its bumpy...


Because theres no positive forces. Theres no negative forces. Theres very little lateral forces. Theres very little speed. Its trimmed 2 times on the first drop and trimmed heavily on the MCB.

I mean if you arent going to do any of those you had at least better be smooth. And it cant even do that well. It does NOTHING for the park. It has virtually ZERO ridership. Even on the most packed days itll see lines no more than 30 minutes.

I agree, and without Mean Streak who knows what kind of ride Cedar Point could put there.

Family rides will do that to you. Because the line is long and the ride doesn't please you is not grounds for tearing apart a perfectly good ride.

Maybe you didn't know this? You don't have to ride every ride

lol, ok maybe ur right about mean streak, but mantis doesn't get nearly the credit it deserves. ya its trimmed on the drop, but the ride is really fun imo. and if you're having nut crushing problems on that ride, its because you're seat is to high. that is easily fixable... or you can just simply grab your nuts, and move them off to the side. lol. .... .... ... ok well, mantis is ok, it deserves alot more credit, but i guess its just ok. the incline loop and the first loop are amazing, but everything else acctually pretty much sucks.

Pegasus @ Efteling

This ride is totally crap, I mean, how is it possible to nearly crush like every part of your body in such a small coaster,

I say, tare it down!

i hate to have to say tear down a coaster but if they were to destroy shockwave at drayton manor, rethink the design and make it better, more comfortable and feel safer(omg i always get scared im gonna fall out on it) that would be awesome. DESTROY ALL TOGOS! that would be an awesome rip off of destroy all humans, great game though

yeah, if you guys think about what rides need to go from CP, id say the most useless ride would be disaster transport for sure. mean streak might not be that great to everyone, but its probably twice as more used as disater. so when you guys talk about the taking out a ride, id take out the most useless ride(disaster) needs to go. its kind of which ride would you rather see go. me i rather see disaster go. they could put something cool in that area.

I really enjoyed The Hurler (both locations) when it first opened. Last few times, though, it was rather rough. I think it just needs to be repaired and maintained better.

I can't speak for ALL TOGOs, but I wouldn't shed a single tear if Shockwave at PKD was torn down.

I really don't understand how you guys can get your balls crushed on a standup ride unless you're literally sitting on your penis. It's sad how peopel can read one opinion and then just assume it's true. The ride is not rough and I've been on more uncomfortable rides before. You all bitch about Mantis hurting because the transitions are too fast or whatever and then when a trim slows everything down a wee bit you bitch about a trim slowing down the ride. Mantis is not rough period. Mean Streak is not rough either in comparison to lots of other rides I've been on. Boss rattled me around at least twice as much as Mean Streak did and the only complaint I hear is that Boss "rattles you around a bit" but never that it's rough. Perhaps Missourians eat have less vegetarians and eat less soy and tofu products so they have more balls I don't really don't know. I have yet to hear a European complain about Shockwave causing is discomfort when it has worse track work and trains because of it's age and manufacturer (not their fault really). Grow a pair so ya'll have something to get crushed.

BAN BAN BAN BAN BAN BAN!!! If there are any coasters I say never to tear down, it's the really, really old ones. I agree that Mean Streak should be the next to go. CP needs a good, modern woodie, and Mean streak's location is probably the best place, if only because of the sheer size of the footprint. I think Disaster Transport's footprint is too small for a really majestic woodie like they'd need to replace mean streak.

^ Cant tear it down unless it gets majorly damaged by nature.
