beastdude Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Inspired by another poll I thought it would be cool to see what coaster you would not like to see in you Park. Mine would have to be Top Gun it is a great ride but its just not my piece of pie. please don't turn this into a battle ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fryler87 Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 I picked Face/Off. Small footprint, pretty tall, but for some reason my body can't handle all of those G-forces (I start to black out on the return trip). It does look pretty cool where it is - I like to watch it in the entrance's picnic area. It's really fun to watch there. Just like beastdude said, this coaster just isn't my cup of tea.

Beast79 Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 I picked Vortex because the different transitions on it are just to rough, nice large foot print for something so much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixFlagsMasta Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 top gun since it's too short! (only reason) otherwise i'd pick beast..not cause i don't like beast but because i wouldn't want to copy the best coaster in the world!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestro Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Face/Off - it's a good ride, but there are plenty of boomerang coasters out there. I could go to a different park to ride one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdime Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 I'll take the nice guy stance here. After reading about how many of you loved KC, and after overhearing people in line talking about how great Vortex is, I've realized that EVERY coaster is someone's favorite. I guess I'd say "Keep 'em all." That said, I really think we could lose Vortex. It was good when it opened...only because it was state of the art when it opened. Now we see how good loopers can really be, and that is such a good piece of real estate back there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beastdude Posted May 10, 2004 Author Share Posted May 10, 2004 Coasterdime has a good point. Its kind of like Steel Phantom at Kenny wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spongebob3-Dfreak Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 I would have to say Adventure Express. It's not because I don't like the ride but it's really short. If I am putting a coaster in my park, I'm going to make the ride worth while for all my guests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdime Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Coasterdime has a good point. Its kind of like Steel Phantom at Kenny wood. Yeah, Steel Phantom was an absolute killer. When I lived in Pittsburgh, I rode this thing literally hundreds of times. The Morgan version was more of an improvement than I could describe. I was lucky enough to make it to a Discovery Channel shoot back in 2001. I remembered where the Arrow "jolts" were, at the bottom of the second drop and pullout. To my surprise....they were gone! It was perfect. I got 53 rides that day, and could've gone another 53. I coudn't say that about SP...and definitely not Vortex. I wouldn't mind seeing a new B&M looper someday, and PKI could call Morgan for a comparatively cheap Vortex makeover. (It'll never happen, I know.)

dxrunner Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Topgun needs to not be in the park...since they killed the themed line to it there is no fun anymore because its so short. Its like a minute thirty... it just isnt worth the space. Everything else including AE and racer beats topgun...so they can stay though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave my vote to Adventure Express but reading the topic made me realize how dumb of a ride Top Gun really is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterrz Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 No offense, but in my opinion, the original theming on Top Gun while it added some experience to the ride, was not the factor that made it a fun or not fun ride. The theming added little to the overall ride experience. Top Gun is still one of the best suspended coasters I`ve riden. Yes, it would be nicer if it was longer, but I`ll take what I can get.

dragonqwen Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 I believe that they should take out Top gun also, only because it really doesn't bring out many people. People only really ride that ride if they see that The SOB's line is ultra long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonqwen Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Why in the heck would anyone not want The Beast in their park. That is the greatest ride ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooter Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 I picked face off because it just too short of a ride for me when i stand in line for 1 1/2 hours i would kind like a decent length ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dxrunner Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Wow if top gun is one of the best suspended coasters youve rode.....i feel bad for you... Top gun's theme was the fun part of the ride... Im starting to lean towards steveo's idea of bringing in the orange jump suits and flashlights for the station that is the only way i can think of to make the coaster fun...out of all the times ive rode it while working i never hear anyone scream and when i ask them how it was they say" Aww that sucked" or "Thats the $hittiest coaster ive ever rode" not " Hey wow that was great" i think if we just gave it alittle of its spunk back it would be more enjoyable...until then it sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dxrunner Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 oops i forgot i agree with dragonqwen The Beast is one of the best rides in the park and even though Face off is short... it makes my top 5 list i love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0-120 Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 I said Face/Off. I'd much rather have Deja Vu. Face/Off's still pretty good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak115 Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 I'd hate to have beast in my backyard.... I HATE THAT RIDE!!! The Beast is the best man! It bit me once, I got a scar from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
