List of Standing But not Operating Coasters

[verticalzero]

By looking at this list on the below website: what coasters would you like to see become operating again, like to own or have re-built by GG or GCI.

 

My choice is:

 

Big Dipper at Chippewa Lake Park - re-build and like to Own

Screechin Eagle at Lesourdsville Lake - re-locate and re-open

Flyer Comet at Whalom Park - Like to Own

Comet at Lincoln Park - Like to Own

Wild Cat at Idora Park - Like to Own

Thunderbolt at Coney Island - rebuild

FYI - Thunderbolt has not been standing for about 5 years.

 

I'll get back to you about the rest when I figure out the purpose of it all.

Uh.... Flyer Comet got rip'd down last fall.

Idora Park was leveled in like 2001? 2002 after the old ballroom burnt down.

 

Wildcat & Jackrabbit where torn down afterwards. (Wildcat was missing 1/4 of the ride anyways not including the sections that had fallen) However you actually can find the blue prints for the Wild Cat.

 

Chippewa Lake. Not a chance at saving that coaster other then rebuilding it to spec, if you could even find a blue print. If you ever visit the place which I never suggest as you can get killed and or very badly hurt at aged places like this.

 

It is so rotted the wood sections that have not collapsed you can break apart with your hands. The back half of the coaster you never see photos off really, are mostly located in a nasty muddy swamp like area.

 

Chip does still have the Turtle & 1 small steel kiddie coaster, and the old school steel wild mouse. But they really are all beyond junk.

 

 

Sorry.

Zippin Pippin would be my first choice, but I'd also like to see any of the Scenic Railways reopen.

Honestly, I'd like to see Flashback run again. I know everyone's gonna call me crazy, but I always thought it was a really cool coaster design, just one that probably wasn't built the best and has poor trains (SOB and Villain also come to mind in that regard). So I'd like to see it run again or be rebuilt, but either way it would at least need some new trains.

 

Williams Grove Cyclone (is it still standing?) I'd like to see reopen just because of it's overall F'd upness...ejector airtime on a flat piece of track?

 

Zippin' Pippin is an obvious one, it's a historically significant coaster and there aren't too many John Miller woodies left in the world...I'd love to see it saved.

 

Uhhh...that Half Pipe on top of that building in Japan that never opened and they can't get permits to remove, I'd like to see it open somewhere just because a brand spankin' new coaster that never even opens is a real shame.

 

Delphis at Festivalgate in Japan looks like an interesting coaster, I'd like to at least see a POV of it if it doesn't reopen.

 

Mega Zeph at SFNO also looked like a nice coaster, shame that it's most likely never going to open again.
