azza29 Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Ghost Rider - topper track would be awesome. Nothing wrong with the layout, no gimmicky inversions needed. Coney Island's Cyclone - finish re-tracking the ride. The parts that haven't been retracked are rough as guts. SFA's Roar - another decent layout that needs some TLC to make it rideable again.
BotanicalStig Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Ghost Rider is my favorite woodie, I first rode it in 2005, last rode it in 2010. Went to hell pretty quick, I could imagine how bad it is now. I wouldn't want to a see a makeover, just fresh track. Mean Streak has so much potential for a RMC makeover...
Rollercoaster Rider Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 American Eagle needs the smaller helix's fixed just before the station.
Nyteowl Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 GHOST RIDER!!! Said this before I worked the ride, now I can't support it enough.
IronWolfman Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 I don't think every woodie that wasn't recently built by GCI, RMC, or Intamin needs a refurb. Many of the other woodies aren't that bad, and if you can't handle it, don't ride it. I must agree with Ghostrider though, and it'd be nice if Twister 2 got some work done. EDIT: Also Cyclone at SFNE could still benefit from more topper track and less trims.

EDIT: Also Cyclone at SFNE could still benefit from more topper track and less trims. I agree. Topper track did wonders for this ride. I never used to ride it but now I usually ride it once per visit. If they added a little more topper track to the first turn and drop and then removed the brakes they would have a really good coaster on their hands... as it stands the ride is finally smooth (except for the first drop and turn) but because of the trims it's really slow and boring.
Werner Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 ANACONDA at Walygator Parc! That doesn't need a refurbishment or improvements. It overdue for a wrecking ball! Out of the woodie's i've been on it's: The Boss - Iron Horse Mean Streak - Iron Horse The Bandit - retrack, work in progress... Robin Hood - retrack, maybe Topper Track with the new Vekoma/RMC deal. Others are not to be saved, or are overdue for a wrecking ball. RCCA mostly!
Rollercoaster Rider Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Grizzly at CGA, it really needs it. It needs to get blown up. Taxi Jam is more intense than that ride.

Judge Roy Scream: retrack Apocalypse The Ride: retrack Fireball: Iron Horse CP'S Blue Streak: retrack
A.J. Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Fireball: Iron Horse Fireball as in Wooden Coaster Fireball? What the heck are you going on about? It was rated 11th best wooden coaster last year.
willthegolfer Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 I rode Gwazi a few days ago, they should take down both sides if they aren't taking down lion already, it was extremely jolty and rough.

It was rated 11th best wooden coaster last year. Yes, Fireball was awful rough when I rode it. The angle of the drops can certainly be a lot more. HVSh put a lot of money on maintaining the ride and I've heard they are tired of the ride.

619fan Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Bandit at Movie Park Germany. They worked on it in 2013, but I don't think that it helped a lot. I didn't rode it since I bumped my head when the train hits the brakes.
Geauga Dog Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Surprised no one mentioned Predator at Darien Lake even though it's rumored to become Lake Monster. At this point who knows if and when that's going to happen.
Cullvion Posted January 4, 2014 Author Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) My friend claims the "Judge Roy Scream" is the reason she doesn't like roller coasters, because it's so rough and scary Edited June 30, 2014 by Cullvion
Aceattack52 Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 ANY wooden coaster named "Hurler" at any park. (There's only 2) They both need to be fixed up, or scrapped. The layout isn't that good anyways.
Pyrozooka0 Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Georgia Cyclone: RMC that sucker. Iron Cyclone anyone? Hurler: I personally love this ride, but topper track would be nice.
Desalia Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 I just got back from my trip in Grand Prairie, Texas to visit family for the new year's, and we got to go to Six Flags Over Texas on New Year's day (Which it's always surprisingly dead for some reason according to some older relatives who have gone a lot on that day), and I just have to say, The Judge Roy Scream is TERRIBLE! It needs some serious work on the airtime hills and that turnaround made it feel like we were going to FLY off the tracks! Dear GOD does it need an RMC like Texas Giant got! (Which I rode 7 times and LOVED IT!) Still though, The Judge Roy Scream sucks! *Go on New Year's day as it is dead for some reason, or really packed, one of the two.
GigaG Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Georgia Cyclone: RMC that sucker. Iron Cyclone anyone?Hurler: I personally love this ride, but topper track would be nice. Actually, Georgia Cyclone's 4th drop had some great ejector airtime in the back when I rode it in the rain (repeatedly.) I think its trims were off. Anyways, it sounds weird, but I loved that thing! It could use a bit more topper track, but I think its a good woodie. The airtime literally felt dangerous. Like, literally, dangerous if your lapbar wasn't quite down enough. Of course, that's why most coasters with loose lapbars have seatbelts.
willthegolfer Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 In my opinion, we need Iron Eagle! They should i-box at least one side.
