If you could tear down one coaster

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.

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).

Okay, Excalibur isn't really that bad, but I guess I'm just saying it since it's at my home park.

 

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.

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.

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.

 

I would do the same for Hades at Mt. Olympus.

I don't see why everyone hates Mean Streak, I actually enjoyed it. I would say Mantis, but CP already is fixing that.

 

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.

 

Turn it into sawdust to coat children's playgrounds so it actually serves a redeeming purpose.

I laughed on it also, but I just found it bumpy like any other wooden coaster. 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

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.

Are you trying to say your ex enjoyed the vibrations?

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.
