coasterbill Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Technically speaking, Stinger didn't replace Laser, Possessed did In 2008, both Laser and Possessed (then Voodoo) operated at the same time. Stinger was built in Laser's spot a few years after laser was removed.
Double0Kevin Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Manhattan Express... And replace it with an Intamin Hyper/Giga.
Dr. M Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 ^Well never mind then. Memory does not serve.
screaminkid2005 Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Wildcat at Lake Compounce. The last time I rode that thing I really thought I was going to break my back.
VF15 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Excalibur at Valleyfair. It's certainly a unique ride, but it doesn't really have anything else going for it. It has gotten tougher, and has an uncreative layout. I wish it would get torn down so the park can make way for an awesome new coaster.
GayCoasterGuy Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Excalibur at Valleyfair. Darn, that's my favorite ride there! Love Excalibur! Â and has an uncreative layout. Every been on a B&M coaster? Â 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?

Â Â 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).

Okay, Excalibur isn't really that bad, but I guess I'm just saying it since it's at my home park. Â I think Demon at Six Flags Great America should probably get removed because it's a pretty rough ride. I know it's a classic ride, but the classics can't last forever.
RCjunkie Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Mean. Streak. +1 +1 also. That coaster does not belong at the park with all of the other good ones there.
Diamondbacker27 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 I don't see why everyone hates Mean Streak, I actually enjoyed it. I would say Mantis, but CP already is fixing that.

Â Yup, it is not a bad coaster but definitely not a good one either. Thankfully it is not brutal. Once they removed the little hill after the drop they had to crank up the trim on the top of the lift hill to make the first turn work and it has never been same and it was not that strong of a coaster to begin with. Too short like you said, needed another 500-600 feet for another element or two. When a park shuts down a coaster for Haunt while all the other coasters in the park are open you know it has problems.
cfc Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 I would bulldoze Bandit at Movie Park in Germany, burn its remains, then sow the ground on which it stood with salt and holy water to ensure that its evil never rises again. Â I would do the same for Hades at Mt. Olympus.
michaellynn4 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 I don't see why everyone hates Mean Streak, I actually enjoyed it. I would say Mantis, but CP already is fixing that. Â When I visited Cedar Point last year with my ex-fiance, we were laughing throughout our ride on Mean Streak on how bad a coaster it was. From the trim brake on the first drop to the slow, meandering pace around the boring track, it was easily one of the worst coasters I've ever been on. I knew going in it was going to be bad and properly prepped my ex, but we were still taken aback by the sheer awfulness. Â Turn it into sawdust to coat children's playgrounds so it actually serves a redeeming purpose.

My back did hurt and I had bruises on my side the next day. But I honestly enjoyed it, not the bruises but the ride in general. I don't mind a bruise
Ridewatchers Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Riddler's Revenge at Six Flags MM, for two reasons: first, people aren't careful (and really don't know) to ask to have their seat adjusted so that they avoid extreme crotch or knee pain at the bottom of the inversions, and second, ridership has dropped to near-zero. It's a walk-on even during busy season. Third reason: it's pretty much a yawn and you have to do all the work to make sure that your ears aren't boxed along the way.

MagnumFreak25 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Wildcat at HP . Just put in a premier Multi-launch instead!
Rollercoaster Rider Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Ednor at La Ronde. Replace it with a Fiesta Express and that will be an improvement. How Six Flags could make a Vekoma SLC MORE Painful than normal despite it being 15 years old. Headbanging between the final brakes and station.
Chlobeast13 Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Scream at SFMM. I rode it as a kid when it was new and thought it was a big yawn... can't believe it's still around.
StuckInSD Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Goudurix. I think we've had plenty of people have a "taste of danger" for long enough, messed-up spines and all. I'd rather see a wild mouse in that spot than the 7 Inversions of Hell. I mean, they could afford a B&M invert, for God's sake! At least mow it down so that the demonic vortex that has formed within the ride could disperse.
