I would rather take a Maurer Sohne or a Mack Spinning Coaster over the Gerstlauer because you are back to back instead of face to face.For the Sally dark ride, I just don't see that coming in the next 5 years but many in 10-15 years? It just seems something that everyone would enjoy, but they really need to do other things before a dark ride. Also, for the water coaster idea, I really think that's a good idea and it is easy to market. I loved Mammoth and Wildebeest at Holiday World, so I think these will do well at the park. What rides do you suggest then? Edit: Also I suggested the Dark ride cause I have a family member that has a terrible back so I try to find stuff for them to ride.

Top 5 Worst Standard 689m SLCs
Rollercoaster Rider replied to thoe124's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
5. Ednor at La Ronde 4. Ednor at La Ronde 3. Ednor at La Ronde 2. Ednor at La Ronde 1. Ednor at La Ronde Makes a Vekoma SLC Feel like Iron Rattler by Comparison -
I got back from a Weekend Trip to Rip Roaring Rampage and rode Rampage (#492) and Centi-Speed (#493). I rode Centispeed 2x and Rampage 26x Including 16 Times Nonstop Marathon. I'm pretty sure that was a record there but don't quote me. Other Fun Facts: - Free Soda in 2015 - They considered RMC to retrack it but it fell out. They went with a Company in Mexico - Dan's favorite song is Cotton Eye Joe - Pat Koch wants a Scrambler (She loves how kids love riding it) - Centispeed came from Gillian's Fun Land in New Jersey. It still has the Wacky Worm name on the station. - Pat also didn't ride Rampage as far as I saw - They were giving away Dippin Dot Tube things - They spent $1 Million dollars refurbishing Rampage - All the Seatbelts on Rampage are Different Lengths - They were supposed to only go until 10pm but because I wanted to ride it 26x (Pure speculation) they extended it to 10:16pm - The Waterpark still has alot of internal problems regarding water pipes - Rampage has a new logo with a Rhino. I prefer the original logo. See my Avatar and You be the judge - They were only running the red train and I didn't see the Blue train anywhere - Still offering Pepsi Products - He wants to hold another event in the Spring - The turning point before the ride goes under the supports of the U-Turn is the slowest part of the ride - There is roughly 13 moments of airtime on Rampage (Varies depending on Seat) - I Got to ride it with Dan Koch in his Purple Suit Glory for my 9th Ride - Rampage finishes stronger than it starts. It has a drop I like to call "The Raven Drop" that turns it from Legend to Raven - Pat Koch recently went to Machu Picchu, Peru - Robb, The ride has at least 5 moments of "Hairtime" - Also got to ride it with Dan Koch's Daughter And I made 3 ride suggestions for them to add in the future: 1. Gerstlauer Spinning Coaster (Perfect Middle Coaster between Centispeed and Rampage) 2. Sally Interactive Dark Ride (Good ride for older people who can't handle thrill rides/ Handicapped but are too tall for kids rides) 3. Proslide Hydro Magnetic Water Coaster (Marketable?)

I really hope the parks gets a new coaster (like everyone else) instead of a Super Loop in 2016, but if the park still has to wait for a new coaster, a Superloop wouldn't be a bad addition. Anyway, it can't be worst than Buccaneer Beach; it sure is a nice "addition" for families but it's a pretty cheap new attraction. Maybe a Skyscreamer?

Mass ride removal trends
Rollercoaster Rider replied to megametal's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Don't forget Premier Rides. They say they build parts for all-rides. They gave Big Apple Coaster new trains and magnetic brakes. -
Darn, that's my favorite ride there! Love Excalibur! Every been on a B&M coaster? My vote for coaster removal would be the Tooth Chipper (Time Warp) at Canada's Wonderland. So unique, too bad they can't make it much smoother. And it's neighbor, Flight Deck. I usually enjoy Vekoma SLCs, but something was wrong with this one. In the front seat no less! Why would they take out Sky Rider and leave these 2 torture devices in? Time Warp and Flight Deck are Leviathan compared to Ednor at La Ronde. Flight Deck just needs new trains with soft padding (And a rename but I can wish).
