Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.

Just a quick question, If you could choose two things in the park to tear down, what would they be and what would you replace them with?
Top 10 Rollercoasters: 1. El Toro 2. Kingda Ka 3. Superman: Ride of Steel 4. Millenium Force 5. Magnum XL: 200 6. Nitro 7. Raging Bull 8. Medusa 9. Gemini 10. B:TR

Iron wolf and Demon because those rides are terrible, put in either X or Medusa or something like those type of rides in their place. Something that doesn't smack your head around.

Demon owns and i dont get why people say this type of ride hurts so much as long as you ride it the right way it's completely painless. still haven't gotten around to riding Iron Wolf but i don't think either should be torn down because we need both a standup and an arrow looper. also, there is no way they would realistically be replaced with rides like X or Medusa...as for rides to be taken out...I really don't think any NEED to be but Triple Play should come back next year. Also, we could get a dark ride that could possibly replace some unpopular ride.

Yeah, why would we get rid of Demon?? That's a great ride, and it only hurts my shoulders because I'm so tall, other than that, not much pain I can't deal with. If I had to choose one to be taken out, I would say...one of the water rides not in HH, and replace it with some coaster. That way, we have more coasters, and still a lot of water rides.

I'd take out one of the flats, none of the coasters. Maybe even a water ride, like Yankee Clipper or Logger's Run. I just can't choose which ride(s) I'd want taken out, I love all of them.

I heard from someone here a month or two ago that Roaring Rapids is taking up alot of space, and besides we have an entire waterpark right next door. If I were to choose a coaster though, I'm sorry to say Vu would be my choice. It just has so many breakdowns, and besides my sister Anna actually blacked out for a couple seconds on it......OK, I'm sorry, G-forces or not it just doesn't seem safe.

That's just my opinion, though. I've only been a coaster lover since March....
I'm not that, well, experienced.
Eh.......I got nothing.

Ah, thank you for reminding me that River Rocker bores me. I agree with those two rides.

Clipper has a lot of problems and River Rocker isnt very popular and it doesnt have much of a boost to it to get ya going pretty good.

I like all the rides in the park but I'd have to say either Logger's Run or Yankee Clipper because they're rather similar. Not sure which though. YC has a nice drop but then LR has the pictures which are fun to look at...

Roaring Rapids.

Is it just me or does it seem like it has low ridership this year?

and then I'd have to say...

Triple Play.
Didn't really turn me on.

Umm hello the worst flat ride they have... Hometown Fun Machine! A nice enclosed Wipeout would go nice there.

Also Space Shuttle America could use to go and a nice Sally dark ride would be nice and not themed to Scooby Doo!

Last time I was at the park, Logger's Run was the one that was broke. I would say Revolution the Ride, Space Shuttle America (It's getting empty), Yankee Clipper, and Trailblazer.

Roaring Rapids is the most packed out of the water rides. The other day, the line was all the way to the front entrance with some queues open near the entrance. It was pretty packed.

Space Shuttle America and S:UF, but only if it was replaced with a much larger and more thirilling flying coaster...or a floorless of course...

Space Shuttle still manages to get the same amount of riders as some coasters in a day. Theres 104 seats in SSA so the line is rarely long.

I would have to say space shuttle america tear out some of the parking lot and put a floorless like scream! there. and they should take out iron wolf and replace it with a bigger better loopier stand up ride.

Jester's Wild Ride...I don't even think kids find it fun.... put in one of those Tilt-o-Whirl rides.

For all I care I dont think Six flags would spend all that money to get rid of a ride and put in a new one. So our opinions not gonna do squat or force GA to put in a new ride but if they are going to get rid of a ride how about the most unreliable ride in the park the Big Green Snake DeJA Vu kill it and put in another ride in place of it. Its a good coaster and everyone likes it but its just so unreliable and it always break down and could have a potentially dangerous accident if it runs the way it is.
