To get back to the wish list, who else would like to see more Chance GT-X coasters like Lightning Run at Kentucky Kingdom? I rode it in July and for me it is my 2ND favorite 100 ft tall coaster after Maverick. The Demon really would work perfectly for a Chance retrofitting, or it could be removed entirely and the awesome steel airtime machine built in its place for 7 or 8 million $.

Demon should be turned into scrap metal.
why its a great family coaster with decent theming. i want the blue hawk treatment done to it with the rails painted red and the station and queue past the lift hill enclosed to look like a cave, with the name demons revenge
Reasons
1)You mentioned it's a family coaster - the park is getting a new family coaster in the 4D 2)The ride is horrible. The cars are horrible, restraints are relics that bang your ears on any turn, loop, etc.. 3) It's outdated, slow, non thrilling. It's a time warp back to the 70's to go on it. That's not a positive 4)It takes up a large space in a prime area. 5)low ridership[/quote] Had a 2hr wait time on Labor Day...

Everything as a 2hr wait on a holiday. It's a walk on or max 10 minuted just like AE except when everything is crowded..ie..busy weekends and holidays.
Labor Day wasn't packed not was it packed last year. Nothing was posting over a 60 minute wait except for Demon's 2hrs. The weekend of the holiday is far more busier than the holiday itself.

I would rather see the Dark Knight replaced by a Chance Hyper GT-X and a couple of flats or a Hyper GT-X and one large flat instead of two.
The Hyper GT-X would be a good utilization of 7M over more 4D's at SF's.

Again b/c you don't like facts you have to be snarky. 4D's are family coasters. S&S markets them as such. I know you didn't like that being pointed out b/c you bought the logic it was a thrill ride, which SF has put out. It's a family coaster, argue with S&S. Btw, if you could read I have mentioned several coasters that are not very high as good..ie...Vekoma's 3 LSM models, Zierer LSM, S&S El Loco, Infinity coasters, etc...
It's ironic that bbd seems to be so easily offended and triggered, since he used to call people "pearl clutchers" when he was saying under a different name that we would be getting a superloop and knew so from "inside sources".

I would love this plus if the park wanted to they could move DK in the center were the two flats are with a shorter queue
I have mixed thoughts on Demon's removal. It serves a purpose: a good, entry level looper for kids (like my 6 yo daugther). Yes, it's super old but it hardly ever breaks down.
I would much rather see Viper come down and a Chance Hyper GT-X go there! It could be called something like Goldmine Express to tie it in with SWT.
I'll leave it to RollingCoasting to make a design in RCT3.......
I also don't see why TDK needs to come down. It serves a purpose in the entire portfolio as well.

Remove Viper? Hell no! My idea and goal would be for Viper to remain as our wooden airtime machine, and the Chance GT-X would become our steel airtime machine. Leave Viper alone!

bbd = Big Bully Dude ??? Yes, he gets offended if someone questions him and his "facts" and "inside sources" but has no problem slinging trash and barbs at everyone else.

It was just an idea If we remove Demon, the first looper a kid can ride is at 54 inches (no I am not counting Goliath as a looper)

True, and I would prefer if the Chance retrack or ground up GT-X would still feature the corkscrews and possibly one vertical loop, but I feel the double corkscrew would suffice.
in my opinion it would be far more interesting to see Demon remodeled into a Chance GT-X. The goal would be for it to be the steel airtime machine that the park needs, and for it to have only a lap bar like Lightning Run. Thus they would replace the loops with the airtime hills on the original Turn of the Century, and not go too much faster through the corkscrews or just replace the corkscrews with airtime hills or the ski-slalom turns on LR at KK. Alternatively, the Demon could be removed entirely and a Chance GT-X built ground up in its place for only 7 or 8 million $.
