tylercolby83 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 What is the largest coaster to be relocated? Per my searching this hasn't been discussed on here since 2007. After a quick search my guess would be that it's now Dominator followed closely by Chang/Green Lantern in terms of length, and Deja Vu/Aftershock in terms of height.

TheDarkMaxim Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Speed will beat Deja Vu when it is reinstalled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercrazy 9 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Isn't Chiller getting re-installed in Brazil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texcoaster Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I'm pretty sure that Arkansas Twister is still the largest wood coaster to be relocated. Not sure about steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noxegon Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I'd throw in an honourable mention for Olympia Looping. Dominator is bigger, but it hasn't been relocated quite so many times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyuk200523 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Monster at Wallygator? Olympia looping is a good shout however, you could say Eurostar in the same sentence, however those are built to be taken apart numerous times, no permanent installation is.....

sfog1985 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Would the Crystal Beach/TGE Comet possibly count for woodies? It's certainly not as tall or large as some others overall (like the B&M's mentioned), but it is over 4000 feet long... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 ^^I would agree with you on that one. Orochi/Monster is a giant B&M Invert and it moved half way across the Earth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimace Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 ^Same. When I first read this topic, the first things that came to mind were Monster/Orochi, Dominator (KD/GL), and Chang/Green Lantern. Not sure which one is technically the biggest, but IMO all three are worth mentioning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11slataus Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Not the biggest but honorable mention would be the current Goliath at SFFT. Formerly Thrill Valley's (Japan) Gambit and later SFNO's Batman. So it's been relocated once from all the way around the world and once from a major natural disaster and is still operating. Unfortunately RCDB has no photos of it from Thrill Valley. I'd like to see what it looked like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double0Kevin Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 ^^I would agree with you on that one. Orochi/Monster is a giant B&M Invert and it moved half way across the Earth! And no MCBR, so that's an automatic win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 You can throw Phoenix into the mix as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmerleeberry Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Oh Boy, I think you may have stumbled upon a topic that should be well worth studying to determine what was the largest relocated coaster in amusement park history. I know I can rule out coasters such as Wild Mouse, Flashbacks, and Goliath (located at Six Flags New England) because these rides occupy small sites. With Kings Dominion's Dominator being the world's longest floorless coaster and Six Flags Great Adventure's Green Lantern being the world's longest stand-up coaster, that will be a big matter up to debate. I will say that I've seen rides moved around within their own parks and other rides relocated to other parks, and it should be a marvel for the technology we have today that makes these moves possible.
