Moose Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 I could also see Corkscrew getting the axe, though I'm guessing Iron Dragon is more of a maintenance issue.
Rollercoaster Rider Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Hopefully either Ninja at SFOG or SFStL. Replace those with Premier Rides Superman clones.
MagnumFreak25 Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 CP-Either Mean Streak, or the mine ride.
ScreaminNewEngland Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Really? BDK at great adventure? That ride is one of the newest ones and it's really fun! Not sure why every tends to get on the wagon and trash it. I'd say Stinger at Dorney. Most likely the bobsleds at The Great Escape. They're long overdue for a new coaster and the bobsleds are a nightmare to maintain.
rcdude Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Knott's Berry Farm: I thought Timberline Twister was a goner, but since it survived the Camp Snoopy renovation I'm guessing Boomerang. Six Flags Magic Mountain: For actually getting scrapped, I'd bet on Viper, but I wouldn't be surprised if either Scream or Green Lantern got relocated before that.
robbalvey Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 I could also see Corkscrew getting the axe, though I'm guessing Iron Dragon is more of a maintenance issue. For some reason I also see Iron Dragon going before Corkscrew.
rcjp Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 ^I thought Iron Dragon was pretty boring (it didn't even swing much) and with corkscrew having that classic location over the midway, that would make sense.
ScreaminNewEngland Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 I don;t see the need to remove either. Both of them take up little space. What are they gonna do with Iron Dragon's spot? Add a family coaster? Get rid of the mine ride instead.
MagnumFreak25 Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 They could put an amazing GCI where Iron Dragon is, it takes up a pretty decent portion of space.
GwaziBSRider1 Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 I'll jump on the Corkscrew wagon. Out of all of Cedar Point's family coasters, I've always noticed it to have the lowest number of riders. Plus, it's terrible. They could put in a much better family friendly looping coaster with similar aesthetics.
Rollercoaster Rider Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 La Vibora at SFOT. I seriously see that going for another coaster. Maybe an X-Flight clone? Low Capacity plus I can't see it lasting longer.
coasterbill Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) I know I've brought this up before but Iron Dragon does huge numbers every year and it's ridiculously popular. Robb is usualy right on with these types of predications so I wouldn't be shocked if he was right about this one but personally I don't see the point in removing Iron Dragon. I guess we'll wait and see. Edited November 4, 2014 by coasterbill
DonGeorge Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Can you imagine a world without Grizzly @ GCA?
Coaster19 Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 I could also see Corkscrew getting the axe, though I'm guessing Iron Dragon is more of a maintenance issue. For some reason I also see Iron Dragon going before Corkscrew. I agree with that. First off corkscrew is way to iconic for that park, second it takes up such a small footprint that if they took it out they would not have many choices to replace it with. Iron dragon I could see going. I see CCMR leaving first and being replaced with a similar ride. However I pray that NInja at SFSTL leaves next! Hate that ride.
gecomet92 Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 TGE: Alpine Bobsled. I have a strong feeling 2015 will be it's last year operating.
GwaziBSRider1 Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 ^ I was told by a park manager in May that they had no intention to get rid of it (nor had they ever wanted to remove it in the past). Needless to say, I didn't believe him.
YOLO Posted November 3, 2014 Author Posted November 3, 2014 I also see Iron Dragon going before Corkscrew, but I see Mean Streak being Iron Horsed before either going.
GwaziBSRider1 Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 ^ I just don't see an Iron Horse Mean Streak happening. Once NTaG opened, I figured Mean Streak would be #2 on the list. After the accident, I just don't see it happening. However, I wouldn't mind being wrong.
Canobie Coaster Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Can you imagine a world without Grizzly @ GCA? I found Grizzly to be mildly fun. While it lacked airtime, it was smooth and had some laterals. Plus it's a perfect transition coaster to allow riders to work up the courage for rides like Gold Striker. TGE: Alpine Bobsled. I have a strong feeling 2015 will be it's last year operating. I really like the Alpine Bobsled, but I agree that it is likely on the way out soon. That ride has seemingly been on the block for years and keeps on avoiding its demise.
HowieP Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Can you imagine a world without Grizzly @ GCA? Nostalgia Critic Meme FTW! Anyway, I see my least favorite woody Gwazi getting the ax!
DonGeorge Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Response time!!!! I found Grizzly to be mildly fun. While it lacked airtime, it was smooth and had some laterals. Plus it's a perfect transition coaster to allow riders to work up the courage for rides like Gold Striker. I honestly do not despise Grizzly. You do bring up nice points, such as that it is relatively smooth, and makes for a nice transition coaster. But I still think it's fun to joke about the ride every now and then, especially the tedium of the first turnaround. Plus, you have no idea how many GP riders i've watched get screwed over by the lapbar belt at unloads. (Seriously, Morgan. What?) Nostalgia Critic Meme FTW! For full effect, watch gif with this song.
