Just came up with this idea, and I wanted to see if it would seem like fun.

The idea is that someone posts a park, and the next guy must choose a roller coaster at that park he/she wants removed. The guy must also decide what roller coaster should be built to replace it. The person must also give a logical reason for the ride's removal and why the proposed ride should be built.

For example, I post as my park: Six Flags Magic Mountain

Person #2: Remove Superman: the Escape because it's just not really worth the wait IMO, and it doesn't even really go top speed or anywhere near the top of the tower.

I think an Intamin Zac Spin would look nice there, and Intamin can porbably design a larger model because of the fact that both rides are straight.


First park is:

Knott's Berry Farm

I would Remove Silver Bullet, because I've heard it's a let down many times, and the drop looks lame. The only thing I would get excited about on that ride is the Stengel-type element after the loop. Don't see those on many (or any?) Inverts...

SB takes up a large footprint, and it has a small pond. Because I took away KBF's primary looper, I would add a B&M Floorless, similar to Kraken or Superman of SFFT (so basically a large one) with a similar overbanked dive that I mentioned (after SB's loop) because it would be a fun original touch that you don't see on B&Ms. And because it's a new B&M it has to splashdown in the water section already in the area [;)]

Next Park: Cedar Point

I would remove corkscrew, because its a painful, slow boring ride.

I would add a zacspin coaster and a screamin squirell coaster because they are both uncommon in the US, and very original rides, which cedar point is known for. Plus they could both fit because of corkscrews out and back layout, and they would be cool to walk between.


Actually i have a better idea.

I would replace it with an X-car skywheel, because x cars are so unique and the skywheel design offers a big thrill in a skinny area.

Next Park:
Six Flags Great Adventure

Add Batman and Robin the Chiller

I would take out Air, because people on CC have frequently said it's a disappointment.

I would add something of a Custom Vekoma Mine Train, like Mammut at Gardaland, using a close-to-the-ground layout and natural underground tunnels with higher speeds and forces somehow; if you can imagine that.

Next park is Worlds of Fun.

I'd get rid of Boomerang because it's such an unoriginal ride, about as standard as you can get.

I'd replace it with a zacspin, because it seems like this paks needs something somewhat original, and it would be an added thrill.


Next Park:
Darien Lake Amusement Park (formerly six flags darien lake)

No i'm not, i didnt suggest that for anything else. Its the most orignal and unique ride i can think fo that would fit in the space that a vekoma boomerang takes.

Darian Lake: Bommerang Coast to Coaster because it doesn't belong in a park that builds megas like Ride of Steel. (I would say Brain Teaser but you need something for the littler kids, too.)

Add: The ride that they have in storage. Just build it already...

Next Park: Gr?????????na Lund
Coaster Count: 582 // Top Five: 1. Helix 2. Nemesis 3. Big Bad Wolf 4. Boulder Dash 5. Balder

You can do one too, loser. Don't tell people what to do, threads can get off topic whenever [;)]
