Srosdude Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 We all love coasters, but some really needs a refurb. Post a roller coaster you think or want refurbished. (Thread inspired from Incredible Hulk Coaster) Honestly, Superman The Ride at SFNE. it's an amazing ride, but it's trains suck. I think if they got brand new trains, and did some track work, it could easily be the best again. It's still my #1, but it could be better.

Henry M Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 The first thing which came to mind was Colossus (both ones, but mainly the Thorpe park one). It could be great! So much potential, so much rattling and rust! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coloradocoasterguy Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 If you had posted this last summer I would have said GhostRider. As it is now I'd say Xcelerator. Needs a few inverions like Storm Runner or iSpeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williamj2543 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 At Canada's Wonderland we have 2 large scale PTC woodies, and recently Wild Beast got a small refurbishment, that was the smoothest part of the ride and both of our woodies would be so much more enjoyable if the entire ride was refurbished. I swear the ride after that was much faster and much more forceful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterDirected Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Not an entire ride that needs refurbished but Banshee's green train needs some serious work. Rattles harder than any B&M I've ridden. Others are perfectly fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SixFlagsAstroworld Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 Well, I personally think (obviously) The Boss could use an RMC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarienLaker Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I could think of three coasters that a refurbishment *Predator (Darien Lake) *Ride of Steel (Darien Lake) *Mean Streak (Cedar Point) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCoasterKid211 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Predator (Darien Lake) I'll just leave this here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixelRush Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Well, I personally think (obviously) The Boss could use an RMC It's not likely as Screamscape has recently stated, because the cost would be too much, so GCI might just save the day to keep it classic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaTim Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Monstre, Mean Streak, Predator, the two CW woodies, GA Cyclone, Timber Wolf, KD Grizzly..... I wonder if a park would be interested in hiring RMC to convert older steel coasters. Magnum is fun but there's no questioning its roughness, imagine if RMC was brought in to reimage it with T-Rex track. Of course that's just an outside the box idea but it appears that refurbishments may be a huge part of the coaster industry's immediately future.

coasterkid124 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Predator After how insane it was riding this weekend, I've actually changed my mind. Never touch Predator ever. It's probably the most painful ride in the world, but there's nothing like it anywhere. "Are you crazy?" posts incoming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lameformer Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I feel like Viper at SFMM could benefit a lot from getting those new vest restraints from Vekoma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geauga Dog Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 If anything I can see Magnum getting new track from Chance just like what they did with Phantom's Revenge. Fix those man part crushing hills on the return leg of the ride in the process. Both Hurlers could use a refurbishment. It seems KD's may be the first since it's closed for the season or will it be like SOB and eventually be torn down. Such a prime spot for something else.

Wily J Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 "Lightning Rod" at Dollywood. I hear it's literally un-ridable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Where are these Magnum people coming from? If it's too rough for you then tighten the seatbelt and enjoy the ride. I'm sure you'll find Magnum's relentless ejector airtime to be far more fun than complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
