If you could tear down one coaster

[CarolinaCoasterFreak]

Would have to go with Carolina Cyclone at Carowinds. It's 31 yrs. old now, very rarely do you see a full train, and after the 2nd loop, it's absolutely brutal! Well, just about any Arrow coaster is right?

[805Andrew]

Definitely Grizzly at CGA. Not because it is rough but because it doesn't really do anything and its way too short. Its taking up valuable space at CGA and they sure could use another star attraction.

[harper83087]

Disaster Transport for sure. I enjoy it simply because it's at my favorite park and the lift always screws with my head but it either needs a whole lotta lovin' or tear it down and start fresh. I'm with just about everybody on the GCI woodie to replace it .

[6flagsbrad]

For me it has to be Pony Express. I love that the park put something in that back corner, but that space could have been used for a bigger coaster.

[Pirouettes907]

Iron Wol...oh, wait

[Commando]

^ I was going to say the exact same thing!

[sfgamguy]

^ &^^

I was going to say it too

 

Mean Streak, as beautiful as the huge mess of wood is, it needs to burn. So much space is taken up by it and no one rides it.

[Schotcher]

^ Burn down Blue Streak while your at it

[harper83087]

^Why Blue Streak?! I've always had great rides on that thing, good quick old fasioned out and back with some good airtime.

 

^^And Mean Streak is an iconic image at CP why would they tear it down? People know it as the massive wooden thing in the back

[Schotcher]

Because they're awful coasters.

 

Blue Streak? I mean unless they've changed the headrests with soft pillows of love and replaced the track so with every curve you aren't thrown into the car, then I'm pretty sure they should replace it.

 

And Mean Streak. Replace it with a GCI.

[Audio111]

It has to be Manhattan Express... I wanna see the ride get blown up into a million pieces, and then it's steel recycled for use as a structural base for an underwater oil rig so I never have to see it again.

[krakenmaniac]

Ninja SFOG nobody rides it and is as jerky heck

[Six Flags Enthuseast]

Great question... There are plenty that are worthy to be burned, but the one most suitable...

 

That I've ridden, I'd have to say Mean Streak. It's rough as heck and isn't CP's most popular coaster by any means. Unless it got a fantastic Texas Giant style rehab, I wouldn't mind it going.

 

That I haven't ridden, Son of Beast. That ride takes up a huge amount of land, is painful, and has been standing for a while now. Kings Island could easily make room for something a lot better.

[A Raging Bull]

Iron Wolf... wait nevermind

 

But seriously I'd tear down Mean Streak

[Rollercoaster Rider]

Mean Streak @ Cedar Point

[incoasterble]

That Pinfari Death Machine Tornado @ M&D's Glasgow it's attrocious.

 

Also I'd completely rebuild The Ultimate with a view to fully realising its potential and reducing physical abuse levels.

[greghill]

tomb raider/time warp at canadas wonderland, hands down

[reactstudios]

Grrrr.... Anaconda at Kings Dominion.

[dhubbuch]

Tear down Mean Streak, transport it to Cincinnati, pile it up inside the layout of Son of Beast, light a match and enjoy Ohio's biggest and best ever bonfire!

Only one problem with that: You can't burn treated wood without releasing toxins into the air!

Blue Streak is arguably one of the top 7 coasters, and easily the best woodie, at Cedar Point. It has plenty of airtime and is still fairly smooth for being almost 50 years old. Were you in a wheel seat? Because that's usually a bad idea on a woodie.

 

And curves? What curves? It's an out and back design...

 

But Mean Streak can go straight to the plywood factory!

I would tear down rolling thunder at SFGAdv. In its spot I would put a better wooden racer that actually races!

You mean SFGAdv? SFGA is Great America. Sometimes RT races. Either way though it was amazingly fun, a lot less rough then I expected. if they need to take down Rolling Thunder they really need to take down Blue Streak @ CP too.

First rode Lion back in 2005 and I kind of enjoyed it even though it was semi-brutal. I took a spin on Lion 2 weeks ago with the new trains and found it to be just awful. No joke, it was one of the worse experiences I've had on a wooden coaster to date. Jarring, jack hammering, shuffling , slamming... all that stuff. Maybe it was having a bad day? who knows...It just doesn't fit in the park from my point of view.
