The Angry Darren Mullins Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Here are a few parks: 1. Camden Park-the perfect place to for a relocated 23 year old boomerang 2. Everland (something good has to come to make up for the loss of Eagle's Fortress) 3. Jungle Jack's-also good for a relocated 23 year old boomerang 4. Coney Island (Ohio)-also good for a 23 year old relocated boomerang

Coney Island (Ohio)-also good for a 23 year old relocated boomerang You might want to add Darien Lake to the list as well even though they already have a Boomerang coaster, but they need a new coaster anyways since it's been like five years since their last coaster was added!
triggernel Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 It'll probably be 2016 (if they don't expand the water park next year, otherwise we could be looking at '17 or '18) before it happens, but Valleyfair! is still in desperate need of some inversions! The last coaster built with inversions was Corkscrew back in '80. Renegade was the last coaster built; in '07. I think the park has improved dramatically since then, but for a park with such a high percentage of it's visitors holding season passes, it's getting a bit stale.
Vonni Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Ok, here is my list: VF MiA SFStL DL Silverwood Adventureland SFOG SFOT SFGAd CGA I'm not going to add SFA because I think that Park needs a LOT done to it before it receives ANY new Rides. The place is in shambles IMO.
Koasterking48 Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 CGA Gold Striker in 2013 and they already need another coaster right now? Really?
Vonni Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 CGA Gold Striker in 2013 and they already need another coaster right now? Really? Yes I feel that they do. The Park was pretty neglected for a long time, and I feel Vortex needs to be removed and replaced.
B.A.B Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 I live like 45 mintues away from Camden Park, and how I badly want the park to get a new coaster. I think it will be probably a couple more years or maybe never since the park is literally ghetto and doesn't have a lot of money to add one. Although they did add a new flatride this year, but is like a carnival ride. Now the park that I think needs a new coaster is Michigans Adventure. Basically becuase I feel that it needs one more big coaster to make it a "complete" park. Also I think Adventureland needs a new coaster also.
GeaugaLake3 Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Elitch's, Wild Waves, Calaway Park (they apparently do fantastic business), Great Escape, Adventureland, Valleyfair. As for Michigan Adventure it would be nice to see a new coaster there but it really doesn't seem to need one, same goes for Silverwood. Dorney Park is destined, at least it seems that way to me, to forever play third fiddle to Hersheypark and SFGAv so I totally understand the instillation of second hand rides, I just hope the next transplant is full circuit. Camden Park, I imagine, will close before they add a new coaster.
AdventureJack Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Top three for me is 1- Michigan's Adventure 2- Adventureland 3- Valleyfair Adventureland is my home park and although I am really excited that we're getting a Mondial Windseeker this year, I agree that we NEED an awesome new coaster!
CPSFMMCW Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 my top 5: Great Escape(something big) Michigans Adventure(anything!) Elitch Gardens(not a kiddie, something big) Holiday World(steel looping launched) Valleyfair(anything!)
urzishra Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 The Adventuredo- oh wait, we are finally getting one!! 13 years since Las Vegas has seen a new roller coaster (2000 with the now gone Speed: The Ride), but honestly I can see more rides going up in the future here in Vegas, if not a new park. I think there is another shift happening in Vegas where non-gaming attractions are starting to rise once again. We lost two coasters in recent years, High Roller at Stratosphere and Speed: The Ride at Sahara. Leaving now only 4 major coasters in Nevada. Canyon Blaster, El Loco, The Roller Coaster (Manhattan Express) and Desperado. I agree. I think it is a fairly untapped market. Could you imagine how much money a "real park" could do there? Personally I kind of miss the MGM theme park (even though it was kind of crappy.) My family had a lot of fun there a few times we went. I think if that opens today it would be completely different.
GrapesLie Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Six Flags St.Louis! Jesus it's past time for something new! and NO Boomerang did not count!
coasterkid21 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 I'm kinda surprised people forgot Lake Compounce. Its last coaster was Boulder Dash in 2000. And they only have three right now. They would definitely benefit from a new coaster.
AusCoasterFan Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Definitely Dreamworld, Australia! It is seriously short one decent, thrilling full circuit coaster: Cyclone doesn't really do it. When all that's left is a shuttle coaster (a really fast one at least), a skyloop, a family motocoaster and a family invert, you really don't have much choice in the thrill department. That one, well themed, intense (airtime please), thrilling coaster would hopefully add to a park which still feels very carnival-like!
Nrthwnd Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) If any other park in North America hasn't had a new coaster built for them in over 20+ years, they have my sympathy. That's how long Playland in Vancouver has been without a new one. Just the wooden Coaster (1958) and the old steel Corkscrew, which opened in 1994. And I don't count the children's Kettle Creek Coaster (opened in 2004) because....well honestly, it's not a big thrill type coaster, hmmm? For you and me, I mean. Edited April 3, 2014 by Nrthwnd
AdventureJack Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Adventureland in Iowa ^^^ Hell yeah. I like this guy!!
rcdude Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Only counting parks I've been to, these are the ones I feel are most deserving (no particular order)... Gilroy Gardens Family Theme Park Great Escape Holiday World Lake Compounce LEGOLAND California Oaks Amusement Park Wild Waves Theme Park
Cyrbuzz Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Probably Michigan's Adventure since the last coaster was Stealhawk a few years ago. Some new steel would really suit the bill here. The water park received the majority of the love for soo long now. A few flat rides wouldn't hurt either since most of their flats are a little ancient(Trabant).
JonnyRCT3 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Six Flags St. Louis - B&m Hypercoaster (WIP in my NL portfolio) ValleyFair - B&M Invert (WIP in my NL portfolio) Michigan's Adventure - Eurofighter, El Loco, Zamperla MotoCoaster, something!
GoBears Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Six Flags St. Louis, even though they did just get Boomerang. The Great Escape and Darien Lake too.
GayCoasterGuy Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Anyone who takes care (to the fullest!) of their current coasters
Nrthwnd Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 ^ That almost sounds like the title of a new thread, lol.
