i voted for other, as in they dont need to build another ride, the more they build the more they encroach upon historicallly signifigant parts of that park. they should retrack ghostrider before anything else ..

Why should they retrack ghostrider?

[Oscar]

Cuz it needs it!

For What!?

Brandon, why do you retrack a wooden rollercoaster? Once you find the anwser then you will learn what they are infering.

aside from being the best rollercoaster in california, ghostrider has one of the most intense and well thought out layout and profile of any ride west of the rocky mountains it has some downright terrifying moments as a result.. .. if you look a little you'll see that boulderdash has done well since it's retracking and in some polls is even beating voyage.. ghostrider in it's first few seasons even beat raven, BUT it's falling off the charts because of it's roughness and it's becoming unpopular with the general public .. a retrack on that ride would likeley push it back to the top..

Well Duh I knew that but I love the Roughness, it's why I love the ride so much.

[jayman]

it's the type of roughness that slows the ride down. i rode it many times the first few seasons, and stll love to ride it , but when a ride is that rough it wears out in other ways as well..

you make a good point, but I still like the roughness of it.

I think they need an X-car. A compact one thrown into an un-used section of the park.

That is one of the problems,there in pretty much no room in the park to build a roller coaster.

They can get rid of the stupid $5 swing they have and put an x-car there. There is a lot pf space there.

Pull a Storm Runner and build something big around everything else.

[gouldy]

Or, pull a Blackpool and just throw rides randomly on top of other ones. There is plenty of space on top of Silver Bullet for a Mega Coaster

I do agree with that very much.

[Dirk_Ermen]

wtf is a gaia coaster?

[gouldy]

^ Only thing I can think of is an amazing NL coaster on Coastsims called Gaia. I've never heard of it as a coaster type!

They already did that with Jaguar and Montezooma's Revenge

That's nothing compared to what blackpool does...

True.

Indiana Beach does that pretty well too.

^Still not as comparable to Blackpool.

That swing they have is a pile of crap anyways. Plenty of space inside there for a smaller X-car.

I'm actually glad they did, Cornball Express is an awsome coaster. It wouldn't be as good as it is if it weren't squesed in that section of the park, just look at Hoosier Hurricane.

Indeed, Cornball is one of my favorites. And I'd say it's comparable bobbyjo, they literally built the stations for the coasters right over the midway. Tig'rr is built on top of a restaurant, their "waterpark" is built completely around the Galaxi, etc. I've not been to Blackpool but they both seem very similar to me in the way they build everything on top of each other.
