What major coaster would you not want in your park

Featured Replies

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. biggrin.gif

please don't turn this into a battle ground. biggrin.gif

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.

I picked Vortex because the different transitions on it are just to rough, nice large foot print for something so much better.

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!!! rolleyes.gif

Shuurre.

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.

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.

Wait a minute. what are you talking about. You said you hate one of the best woodies in the world. If so why did you work on it for two years.

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.

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.)

i guess you didnt catch that joke

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 biggrin.gif

I would have to agree with you. I gave my vote to Adventure Express but reading the topic made me realize how dumb of a ride Top Gun really is.

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.

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.

Why in the heck would anyone not want The Beast in their park. That is the greatest ride ever.

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.

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

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

I said Face/Off. I'd much rather have Deja Vu. Face/Off's still pretty good though.

The Beast is the best man! It bit me once, I got a scar from it.
