After a short googling i couldnt find anything that estimates the cost of a coster.

So...

How much does an average coaster cost? (ie: Vortex)

How much does an average flat cost? (ie: Delerium)

They cost a lot!

Vortex cost $4 million. I have heard several values from SOB. Some say $15 million, and others say $25 million.

I know that PKI spent $40 million for the simultaneous installation of Drop Zone and Face/Off. And I would bet the biggest portion of that was for Drop Zone.

I remeber hearing somewhere Delirium cost around 3 million.

Drop zone was 11 million and I' m not sure about the other rides. I would say an good sized average coaster cost like 15 million and I guess a flat could range for 100 thousand to 10-12 million.

Does anyone know the actual cost of TRTR? No one I've talked to really knows what it is. Their answers have ranged between 3 and 40 million dollars.

It's not 3 million. There is a used portable Topspin on ITAL and I think it is like $750,000. For a giant topspin, themed like TRTR - I would say closer to 10. It can't be 40. Top Thrill Dragster was only 15.

TRTR's ride itself, the topsipin, may have been like 10, but with the themeing it could have been anything.

TTD was 25 million.

The 40 mill. that Klockster said, that includes Face Off, DZ, and SOB. That was the 2 year change to AZ. This dosent include Duhlee becuase that was put in in 2003. The origonal AZ, Face Off, DZ, TG, King Cobra. Then With KC leaving, that added SS and Duhlee.

I believe Delirium cost $4.5 million. Drop Zone as mentioned above cost around $10 or $11 million. I heard that Son of Beast ended up costing right around $17 million. When Adventure Express, Vortex and Beast were built they each cost $4 million. But those installations were all a long time ago and there has been considerable inflation, and higher priced rides. RCDB.com usually has the price of the coaster listed.

A.E. was built only in 1990 I think so it not the old that ride is just really small. Well if you look at MF and TTD which both were around the 25 million range and are out of the ordaniary coasters and its an itmain so they are more. I would look for an average coaster today around 10-15 million.

And Son of Beast in 2000

Here is a look at some other stuff

Raven Quote:

"This classic coaster is a major surprise, partly because riders can't see what's comingâ€â€the woods are that thickâ€â€and partly because it gives world-class air time." â€â€The Cincinnati Enquirer

It says it all!

Most people on here don't know what they are talking about so your not going to get a correct answer.

You can only base your statements off of what the park releases.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

About my above statement, "In addition, the Son of Beast represents the largest single investment in the history of Paramount's Kings Island and tops off a two-year $40 million capital expansion program at the 364-acre theme park." -From the SOB fact sheet (http://www.pki.com/corpinfo_press_son_of_beast_fact_sheet.jsp) That rounds up my statement about that the cost for DZ, F/O AND SOB equal 40 mil. This was also for the change to AZ from the other theme.

The 40 million was a figure released BEFORE Son of Beast was finished. I highly doubt, after all was said and done, the final figure was anywhere near 40 mill.

Italian Job cost 1 billion dollars!

Your right it was probaly more after all the work on Son on BEast

I thought that maybe Roller Coaster Database might contain costs of building, but they do not. Still looking for a site that does.

TWO YEAR expansion. That's the 99-00 AZ expansion, not just SOB. I think SOB was sleighted for $15 million and the repairs and retracking have blown that budget out of the water.

Some one sad that IJST costed 1 billion dollors, lol

IOA in Florlda when It opened it costed 1 billion

I think Hablo was doing his impression of Dr. Evil.

I know that some disney coasters have gone as high as 100-150 million, to have them installed. I think the building of Expedition Everest in Disney's animal Kingodm is listed at the 100 million mark.
