_koppen Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 CarouselI'm going to go a little further here and say "Classic" carousel; one with an organ playing and hand-carved horses. Don't forget double decked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoppy Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 B&M Invert Let me add something: Non silver bullet and boring Great Bear-like B&M inverts... That's better FTFY... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarienLaker Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 (edited) Well I can think of some rides that every park outside of the Disney or Universal chain needs! . A kiddie coaster . A family coaster for the the "In between" crowd that's under 48" tall . A Gerstlauer or Maure Shone spinning coaster ( ) . A Ferris Wheel (non kiddie) . A Scrambler . A drop tower Edited November 19, 2013 by DarienLaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolercstrluvr Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 If only every park could have some Flying Scooters and be lenient with the rules as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myself Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I'm going to jump on the carousel bandwagon here, but I'd also say that every park needs at least two out of the following: -Ferris Wheel -Bumper Cars -Train Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterbill Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Doesn't the title say "one" ride? That one ride every park needs is: And they're talking about smaller rides. Disclaimer: this is not a dreamer thread. Don't say B&M winged coaster... Don't say Intamin Blitz... Don't say Huss Giant Frisbee... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geauga Dog Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 ^The title may say one ride but it's impossible to narrow it down to just one ride as there are quite a few that would be considered essential that every park should have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SingleRiderCam Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) If we were to talk about something that is not a ride that every park should have, the obvious answer will be Coca-Cola. Do I need to say more? But we are talking about rides here so, Flying Scooters and Kuka Robo-Arm.

Schrecken Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I would also say a dark ride, especially the classic kind that you don't see many of these days like the Wacky Shack at Waldameer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B&MBoy1982 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Tilt a Whirl. Unlike Coney in Cincinnati that is all tilt and no whirl, but rather one like at Cedar Point where it is easy to get insane spins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon8899 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 - Log Flume - Zierer Wave Swinger Aside from that it gets more basic like a good coaster selection - kiddie, wild mouse or spinner, steel looper preferably Schwarzkopf, Intamin or Gerstlauer - family flats - Pirate, Teacups preferably Zamperla - and somne high thrill rides like a Loop Fighter, TopSpin or MegaDance. I am not so much for dark rides but a park should have at least two good ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dropzonefan Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 A huge, intense, park model of the chance zipper... Or just a normal one. Only heard of a few in parks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subject_12 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 When playing a game like RCT i always make sure to add select rides that fit the gist of the park. Usually one of them is a wooden coaster of some form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Every park should have a dark ride. Every park should have two dark rides!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jhcbiinoc Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 For me personally-I would have to say a B&M coaster with inversions, especially a zero-g roll. For non-coaster rides, I would say a good log flume that does not get you completely drenched! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzoole Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 For me, it's the log flume. There's just something about log flumes that I LOVE. And I mean pretty much any kind of flume, from the most tricked out, Orlando-fied highly themed Splash Mountains and Journey to Atlantis' to your most basic old school Arrow log ride. I'm not saying I can't enjoy a park if it doesn't have one, but there will always feel like there's something lacking if there's no flume. My home park of the moment - SFNE - does not have a log flume, and if I could add any ride or coaster or attraction, that's what it would be. I'm a flume-o-phile!

The Yeti Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I'm inclined to say an Intamin mega-lite even though I've never ridden one. I think any park with an Intamin Blitz coaster is sure to get a fair amount of attention as well. If a park has an incredible dark ride similar to Spiderman or Forbidden Journey, then it could lead to a successful park, but out of personal preference I'd choose a great coaster. I feel like tons of parks have room for a B&M Dive Machine, and I'm all for more of those! Log flumes do seem essential, but I have to say that I think every park needs some sort of drop tower!
