What coaster would you rebuild?

[Skramp]

Let's say you can jump in your DeLorean, get it up to 88mph and head back to any year you wanted to ride a coaster before it was gone, where would you go?

 

Or what coaster would you rebuild today?

 

I would ride either the Crystal Beach Cyclone, or the Aeroplane at Playland

 

Here's a old video of the second one:

The Aeroplane Coaster at Playland

I was thinking about starting a topic like this except it would be like this.

If you had a time machine for a week. What 7 parks would you visit 15 years from now?

 

Yours. I would say Furious Baco. It looks fun!

I'd go back to 1969 for Euclid Beach Parks last season to hit the coasters and scooters one last time. I was seven when it closed, and while I still remember it well, I think it'd be nice to compare those to todays standards.

[Homer]

Screw you guys, I would go to the future.

 

I will be heading over to Cedar Flags Magic Mountain to ride Goliath Senior, the worlds tallest, fastest, most loopiest, and highly overbanked turns and drops roller coaster and rapids ride. Its fudging insane!

 

But if we are restricted to old times sake, I would go back to Riverside Park in Chicago and Palisades Park in New York, Steeplechase Park and old school Coney as well. Now those are insane rides...

[supermanrosfan0810]

I'd go back to 1996 and go to Riverside (SFNE pre-SF) and rocky point, good memories from when I was younger...

[All Clear]

Lakeside Park in Salem, VA. I'd ride the Shooting Star all day.

[Airtime&Gravity]

So many classic parks to choose from:

 

1967 Riverview-so many great rides lost forever(exception of carousel now at SFOG)

 

Rye Playland to ride Aero

 

1930's Coney Island(Luna Park, Steeple Chase, and many classic stand alone coasters)

 

Idora Park-just another classic park

 

Palisades Park-another classic park that I wish I coul visit

[FeelTheFORCE]

Steel Phantom. I had so many chances to ride it, i was just always too scared.

 

[christianscoasters]

I would go back a year and tell Thomas Etheredge to listen to advisors because his park SUCKS!!!

[Vekoma Fan Boy]

And as far as coasters go, I would go ride the Aero-Coaaster & Crystal Beach Cyclone.

[Goliath513]

1992: Drachen Fire for sure.

 

I would also visit, but at undecided years:

*Six Flags AstroWorld (2005 or earlier)

*Manteca Waterslides (2004 or earlier)

*The original Elitch Gardens (1994 or earlier)

*SFMM before they went crazy with adding coasters. (1990 or earlier)

 

I will probably think of more later but this is all for now.

Hey Ryan, did you get the flux capacitor working yet?

[Axman]

Six Flags Magic Mountain durring 1986, and Six Flags Great Adventure durring 1999.

[IceDragon]

I'd go back to Chessington when they had the bat-themed cars and the freaky soundtrack... Those were the days.

[spaceace12]

October 30, 2005, Astroworld, spend 2 days in the park like it was the end of it, because it was.

 

Go back in time to visit, Joyland in Wichita, CLP, Opryland and lasardville (sp?) when they were open and in thier haydays.

[coasterdude5]

October 29, 2005 - Libertyland's last operating day.

[bloop]

Long Beach Pike - Cyclone Racer

 

Magic Mountain - Colossus before the Camel Hump was removed and the ride ops actually RACED the coaster, Revolution before the OTSR's were added.

 

Kings Island, opening day of the Beast.

 

And who wouldn't want to go back to opening day @ Disneyland? Yeah, I know, in retrospect it was a bit of a fiasco, but historically it was the most significant day in theme park history.

[easytoremember]

Just thought of one. The Bat at Kings Island.

[gummibear]

I would go to Riverview Park, Idora Park,actually any of the defunct parks,and also go back to the days when SFGA was run by Mariotts.

[Reon]

Coney Island Cincinnati, pre-flood. The park has gone from a great old school wonderland to a run down ghetto park that I work at now. While I'm in Ohio, KI back when they had Bat and Beast with the lake....and then stay forever in a timew where KC was still alive.

1955-Opening year of Disneyland

1970-Adventureland Long Island open for 8 years, old pictures make the place look gorgeous.

 

1985-Disneyland's 30th Anniversary, a good era for Disneyland as a lot of today's highlight attractions were still *fairly* new.
