scottjenkins Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Either from the past or present. Say for example, a millionaire said "I'll buy you any coaster you want, its not allowed to be custom built from new, it has to be either one that is standing at mo, or one from the past"....... What would you pick? I am completely obsessed with Drachen Fire, so would probably ask for that. Dont want any of the S&S Arrow rubbish, i want old school, rib breaking, whiplash creating Arrow!!! Failing that my second choice would be an Arrow shuttle loop. Built into the floor so the station is at ground level. I would enclose it and make the interior pitch black so first time riders wouldnt know the layout. As the train reaches the end of the first launch, i'd have in house strobes that flicker slightly to add to the effect and disorientation. Ive been thinking about this whilst on a course today and would be interested to see what you guys would pick if it was offered to you on a plate!! Arrow induced hard on! Enough excitement to cause a stir in my pants! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpengeist04 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 ^Why not go with the defunct Lightning Loops from Great Adventure? ...It would be double the fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FeelTheFORCE Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I'd go with Nitro. Such an awesome coaster that I could ride over and over all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medusa1861 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I'd pleasantly decline. How would I ride it and where would it go? If the ride could be placed at a local amusement park, I'd choose to have Crystal Beach Cyclone, Yeah it was considered to be dangerous and whatever, but at least one ride would be alll worth it.

netdvn Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Wood Crystal Beach Cyclone - Designed by Intamin Riverview Bobs - Designe by Intamin - I'm surprised nobody mentioned this yet! Rye Aeroplane - Designed by Intamin Steel Anton Schwarzkopf's Thriller (unmodified) - Designed by Intamin King's Island Bat - Designed by Arrow, complete with insane turns intact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Thriller Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 ^ Intamin, I believe, didn't design those wooden coasters. Harry Traver designed the Crystal Beach Cyclone, and the Riverview Bobs was designed by Prior & Church. --James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Benvenuto Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 ^^ I think Intamin didn't exist back then, pal. LOL. I'd have to say the Texas Cyclone, because I've always wondered what it was like when it was standing and also like someone else before me said. The Crystal Beach Cyclone would be nice, very nice as well!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netdvn Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 ^^ None of the wooden coasters I mentioned were designed by Intamin. In fact they were all built before Intamin became a company, but imagine a PnP clone of Riverview's Bobs or the CBC. On top of that, I would love to see... A PnP clone of Phoenix or Voyage. Or a B&M-designed modern-day Space Diver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

printersdevil78 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 If the theming was included, then Disneyland's BTRR. If it was track and supports only, then Ravine Flyer II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike541x Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 For the past, it would be Drachen Fire. For the present, Dominator, Great Bear, Big Bad Wolf, and Nessie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hang And Bang Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Mind Bender All I'd have to do is build a ravine in my backyard and I'd be set! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMikeo Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Ghostrider circa 1998 - 2002! Back when the most painful part about the ride was landing on your ass after "the drop." Boy do I miss that ride. -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygnus12 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Either: -Zonga/Tsunami back when it was on the German funfair circuit as Thriller. -Drachen Fire pre modification -The Bat @ Kings Island But in actuality I'd suggest to the kind millionare that instead of bending the fabric of space and time to bring a ride from the past to the present, that they instead buy me a tricked out Huss Breakdance.

Pufferfish Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Old= Drachen Fire, seeing as it is my one and only missed credit... Current= Apollo's Chariot ^I like the idea of building a flat ride as well. I would go for a KMG Afterburner. Ah, what a fun ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottjenkins Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 Ooooh adding a new dimension to The thread.......... I'd have to pick a mondial topscan too. I love them beyond belief, however if it was in my garden I'd have to abolish the minimum 15 person rule that parks over here follow and just have me on it by myself!!

Speeddeamon128 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I would want the Knoebels Phoenix. That woodie is amazing & the airtime is unbelievable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electerik Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Okay, here's my evil plan: I'll take the most expensive ride I can think of, and then figure out how much I need to charge per ride to make a healthy profit on it while still keeping it properly maintained. I'm thinking this shouldn't turn out to be too outrageous a number, since I didn't have to pay to have the ride built in the first place. Expedition Everest, maybe? How does $3.00 a ride sound? Then, with the money I make from that, I'll build a refreshment stand..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
