Retired Coasters

Has anyone mentioned Python yet? I miss my first Arrow corkscrew. .

 

I rode Python back in the day! I miss it too.

 

As for the giant Arrow at SFGAm, it was originally supposed to stay there. They were going to take out Whizzer to make room for Superman: Mediocre Flight. They changed their minds due to public outcry (when has THAT ever worked before???) So Shockwave went instead. They should have taken out Iron Wolf!

I rode Iron Wolf for the first time in 2007, once was enough for a lifetime. It felt like B & M had subcontracted the evil genuises at Vekoma and Togo. That's a shame about Shockwave it looks like a really good coaster, though Whizzer was fun - but that Shockwave removal seemed so unnecessary.

 

If the public really cared, they would have taken to Iron Wolf with blow torches, it would have saved me some misery for starters.

Since I never replied to this one. Of the coasters that are gone that I liked but are defunct. Villain, Hypersonic, Viper, and Both sides of Chiller. It feels kind of sad that I loved all the rides that parks tend to remove. Villain i'm sure was bad by the time 2007 came around, but I rode it only in 2000, where it was amazing. Hypersonic, I can see what people didn't like about it, but I thought the launch made it all worth it. Viper, it was my first "real" coaster. It's THE ride that got me into coasters, so it holds a special place. But even without that, I loved the drop, the hangtime on the first inversion, and the 2nd inversion through the rings was just so fun.

Finally, Chiller, Well I loved this ride so much and probably the most. I wasn't a fan of the removal of the rolls but for some reason, ever since the ride came out, i've had reoccurring dreams about the ride. Like just last night for some reason I dreamt that the batman side was down, re-rode it 3 times, and the last time was with my parents, I went intothe non-existant single rider line and got the seat. Usually my dreams about chiller are that there is this really long queue and it takes me the entire dream of adventures just to get to the station where i'll wake up. The other thing that often occurs is that there is this mysterious white train on chiller. All well, that's enough of my dream stories...
