What Amusement Park Alteration Dismayed You Most?

Any alteration that took place in order to change something in the amusement park. Which one do you despise/wish never happened most?

-A relocation of a roller coaster [or general amusement ride]
-A demolition [in general or a demolition to make space for a new add]
-Even a new paint job

Any change!

*Last year or the year before, the log flume at Valleyfair was torn down for a lame wave pool. Granted, Valleyfair's water park needed a leisurely attraction where you can simply sit, but I loved that log flume so much haha.

I also hated the transformation from Camp Snoopy to Nickelodeon Universe [skipping the shift in between those two, Park @ MOA- that wasn't too bad]. I just don't like the theme. I still call all of the attractions by their original name.

One word: Bizarro.

^ My thoughts Exactly.

The Log Flume destruction was aweful. Also when Camp Snoopy left. And when Deja Vu was torn out of SFMM.

The change from 'Dueling Dragons' into 'Dragons'

Putting an SLC into La Ronde when they had a B:TR clone already was kind of insulting to them.

I 100% agree.

Definitely the Dragons. Not so much the HP part, but the non-dueling part. =(

I actually think Bizarro at SFGADV is better and way more fun now. I also rode it at night though when the effects are at their best.

Yeah i totaly agree the SFGADV one is great now. Bizarro sfne just sucks now. It has half lost its epic pacing, it is rattlier than it was when it was superman, except the headrests make it a bit more noticable when they are bashing the back of your head and ears sometimes as well as blocking your view. They changed the soundtrack so it has no quotes and is some sh!t rap music. Finally,they changed the restraints so that they auto-staple you becuase they are so heavy, and come down on an uncomfortable area of your thighs and bruise you, all to help accomodate obese people. But preventing any motivation for america to not be morbidly obese. I can understand making them a bit more accommodating, but these things could fit an elephant, which most gp are not, and have to pay for the people who are. Oh and on top of that, the purple is gawd awful, and the trains are tall and bulky instead of sexy and streamlined like they used to be. I dont think any of these problems apply to Bizarro SFGADV.

Damn! You took mine Steel Phantom-Phantoms Revenge

Removal of Iron Wolf, and all the love at Indiana Beach.

Removal of Thunder Looper at Alton Towers. I was too small to ride it the year it got removed and the idea of a loop with only lap bars is something that excites me.

Son Of Beast...Loop removal

[Mikey]

In 1996 Rattler (@SFFT then under WB) lost almost 50ft of it's drop because the trains and folks riding them wouldn't come back in once piece.

I heard stories about how back in the day the nightly maintenance folks would partially tear the trains down each night to tighten the bolts back up. The operators would constantly have guest hand them pieces of the trains because the ride was so violent.

Dueling Dragons => no longer dueling.

Oh, also ShockWave being removed instead of the Whizzer at Six Flags Great America.

The removal of the laser dorney. Its still my #1 coaster.

Deja Vu, both its removal and its renaming. I find goliath the stupidest name of all time.

^Yes! Hell Yes!

Also that one Arrow Corkscrew that got turned into a stand-up>
That was just stupid!

This to. It hurts that where the Laser was is going to be home of another hand-me-down.
