Counting it as a ride I would most definately have to say Hurricane Harbor. Now if thats going to get peoples knicker's in a bunch then I will also say Bucaneer Battle. Choose accordingly to which you would rather see gone.
^ Why Hurricane Harbor? It's dramatically increased park attendance since it opened it 2005.
If I could get rid of a ride, I would also choose the GoKarts. By removing them, that would give the park a great opportunity to fix up and get the theme of Yukon back

Someone is obviously a waterpark hater.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.
Not only because I never see it with a line (granted, I never go to the park in July), but it also resides in the place of where my favorite ride used to be. For BB ride to occupy the same space in the park...just a travesty.
It's too bad no one had their thinking cap on when they installed that ride and instead placed it in the water park. I'm sure it would get a lot more traffic if it was there.
I'd have to also say Buccaneer Battle (but I gotta ride it once first though) or the go-karts. If I was going to say something else though, I would definitely say American Eagle. It seems to get rougher every year and just takes up an insane amount of space. Some things I would like is the RMC treatment but doubtful that will happen anytime soon since they seem to be really busy right now. Otherwise, I'd be fine if it was taken down and replaced by one fairly big coaster and maybe another moderate sized coaster or big flat ride.
I agree with the go karts! They have absoultely runined that area of the park and have nothing to do with the theme. That would be an excellent spot for a yukon-themed dark ride in a mountain facade.
Buccaneer Battle is also totally out of theme.
Batman The Ride should be removed, and replaced with a shuttle coaster (like Mr Freeze) that fits in that area. Then the park could get an updated B & M inverted like King's Island's Banshee, which is 100 times better. Batman was designed to be jammed into a space that wasn't intended to have a full size coaster.

Yeah but in my opinion, for being B&M's first invert, Batman still packs a punch in that small space. It also packs a punch compared to other, newer B&M inverts out there.
I don't know if this is a "get rid of a ride" but a re-imagining of a ride. I would love a Maverick style redesign of Demon. I mentioned this before here.
And Bucaneer Battle could be ripped out by the roots as far as i'm concerend.
If we're talking specifically about coasters....Demon and V2 should die next.
Buccaneer Battle is one flat ride (if you consider it a flat) that really needs to die. Besides that, our park has a really good selection of flats. BB should be replaced with an S&S Screaming Swing. They don't look like much but once you go on one you understand how good it really is.

I'm not sure if the locking is different or something, why don't we just get the updated Trains? There is no point in spending money to tear and ride down and replace it with What Seems to be the Same Thing in the Public's eye.
It seems like the other side always wins on American Eagle Also, I've ridden Goliath 23 times in one day. HBU? (Sorry in advance for unnecessary commas and parenthesis every where)

V2 has such a small footprint that unless they need it gone so they can do a radical redesign of the flumes area I think V2 is here to stay. And it's the only LIM in the park, so it adds coaster diversity.

I went on Demon last weekend and it was strangely smoother than I remember. My ride on that was better than Batman:TR. I don't see the park taking out another coaster for a few years. I say take out Batman and Whirligig, take ERC to RCs spot and take out BBs overflow and remove Batman arcade, shrink the midway down in that area to a more normal size and there's a good sized lot open for a major new ride. Demon would be awesome if they would do some theming updates to it and I think something that unique should overrule a chain park-coaster.

As much as I hate saying this, Batman is going last much longer than Demon. Unfortunately Demon most likely will be the next to go. But don't worry, I'm sure the park will make a Big Deal about it. If B:TR just gets incredibly, unbearable rough (which I don't really see happening) the park will buy some of the 2nd Gen Trains like on Banshee.
