I would take Euro-Bungee out of Coney Mall and replace it with a Ferris Wheel.

And as far as replacing a PKI coaster with a coaster from elsewhere....I'd remove Vortex and replace it with AeroSmith's Rockin Roller Coaster from Disney MGM Studios in Florida.

?? The Rockin Rollercoaster is FoF clone.

Sorry about quoting something way back, but I missed this and I'd like to comment on it.

Flight of Fear and Rock 'n' Roller Coaster are two very different rides. The only read thing they have in common is that they're both indoors and have three inversions.

Flight of Fear was designed by Werner Stengel, head of Intamin, and then built by Premier rides. It, and it's Virginia counterpart, both received lap bars at the end of the 2001 season. it's 2,705' long and 75'2" high. It has three inversions, a cobra roll and one solitary corkscrew. To get a better idea of what it looks like, here's a picture of the same design outdoors. FoF is a clone, but not of Rock 'n' Roller Coaster.

Rock 'n' Roller Coaster in Disney MGM Studios is also a clone! It was built by Vekoma in MGM Studios on 7/29/1999, and then later in Paris on 3/16/2002. It has three inversions, a serpent roll (signature element of Vekoma, can be seen on pretty much all SLCs), and a corkscrew. It's 3403' long, 80' tall, and the governor kicks in on your "super stretch limo" at 57 mph. However, there's another coaster of this model. Six Flags Holland has an interesting coaster called Superman The Ride, which you'd think to be a FoF clone, like Poltergeist @ SFFT, or Joker's Revenge @ SFA, but it's actually a Rock 'n' Roller Coaster clone. Here's a picture.

So in short, Rock 'n' Roller Coaster is not a Flight of Fear clone. Heh, I just took the long way saying it. cool.gif
