That's such a B.S. cop-out though. It's because they've let the ride fade into a shadow of it's former self is why they won't spend the money to make it what it once was. Same thing happened to Colossus at Magic Mountain. If that ride was still a #4 rated coaster in the world, and it was part of the reason why people came to Knott's, I guarantee you that it would get more funding for extensive track work. But since it's now a more forgotten about "just another ride in the park", it's not going to get anywhere near the love as other rides will get. So instead of fixing it, they can slap a band-aid on it, the trims, and let it ride out the rest of it's life like that. Because when you've got a coaster that at #55 in the world, coming in at #75 in the world after a trim was placed on it, doesn't really matter to anyone. No one goes out of their way to ride a top 55 woodie, but they WILL go out of their way to ride a top ten woodie. It's just a shame that it's come to this. Seriously, Ghostrider used to be one of the best in the world and I know people who would fly across the country just to ride it. Now it's just a "credit" at the park. It's fallen into mediocrity and I couldn't tell you the last time it was mentioned in a positive light during conversation. Sad. They only way I ever see this ride getting "fixed up" is if they do something to it that allows the park to re-market it as something new, or at least greatly improved. --Robb So basically, a Rocky Mountain treatment.

Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said

its annoying how every time i talk about a ride at a park that my friends have gone to PLENTY of times, and i'm describing the ride, i always have to say The Green one, or the one that goes backwards then forwards. -

I was at SFMM, and i was riding goliath with my short short friend. (She was my age but shes kind of a shorty ). Once were seated, this girl next in line looks at her friend and goes "That girl right there be small as hell and you ain't gonna ride it, but she be riding!" Its now an inside joke between. It was SO ridiculous. -

My Custom-Designed Roller Coaster
Gmaster562 replied to Phatage's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
At first it looked like a Pinafari coaster. Now it looks like a wooden coaster that belongs in china, because its got a huge helix after the drop. It looks good. -

Boulder Leisure Park [RCT3]

When will it be announced? -
Yea, i'll post pics tomorrow. It wasn't packed, but wasn't little crowds. ^ On the Log Ride, did you see the elf before the surprise drop? It looked like the grudge! And when you first enter the mountain, look behind the wall and theres a headless one... Good trip though. The bad thing was that excelerator would "Break Down" every 5 rides! It was probably because they were testing the red train out, which i was so lucky to get a ride on! TR tomorrow!
