How much do roller coasters cost?

[diamondbaby]

One like Raging Bull or something

[Papas]

I think Bull costs something around $15million+?
Most coasters do not cost nearly that much but Big+B&M.

[twixmix0303]

Wow, that's it? Is that just the coaster itself or does that include labor? Because that means that even if you're somewhat rich (like with a few million) you could afford a small coaster in your backyard. Like Richie Rich, which by the way, was filmed at Iron Wolf at Great America.

TTD coast $25 mil. Mummy cost $30 mil + usually not below $10 mil.
I wouldnt be suprised if Raging Bull coast $20-25 mil.

Iron Wolf was around 9,000,000. A V2 clone (Steel Venom at Vallyfair) was 8,500,000. The taller the more expensive as you have to pay for crane rental, airlifting, etc.

Wasn't TTD 25million? It's hydrolic (expensive) and they also had to rent two (two of only like 6) cranes able to reach 420+ feet.

Mummy was 40million, I would not be suprised if you can pick up an arrow for under 5million.

[SfGaMownz]

Aero, yes TTD was $25 million that was already stated.

Heres how much some big coasters cost:
Riddlers Revenge- $14 million
Medusa- $15 million
Silver Bullet- $16 million
Millennium Force- $25 million
Wicked Twister- $9 million
Xcelerator- $13 million
Superman: The Escape- $20 million+all the extra maintaining costs= close to $100 million

Steel Dragon 2000 was 50 million.

Sad part is, S:TE was built in the mid '90s... $20 million was SO MUCH MORE back then as far as coasters go. What a waste of money.

[Iggy ACE]

You could probably could pick up Shockwave for around $100,000 (some assembly required).

[w00dland]

So to put it very simply in my opinion:

B&M's=close to 15 Mil.

Arrows=Depends how old they are

Intimin's=(Depending on model) 10-25 Mil.

[rct2wizard360]

The End.

Iron Wolf cost $5,000,000, though you have to take into account the park took a gigantic risk buying from this brand new basically untested company, also dollars were worth a bit more at the time

Honestly if you wanted a coaster in your backyard, and you knew who to talk to, you can pick up a used Galaxi or Wildcat for less then the cost of a nicer new car, or a older kiddie coaster for less than the cost of a meal at McDonalds (for real, see below)

Somewhere in PA someone inherited 2 Miler kiddie coasters, both are in rough shape, but are still able to be salvaged, free who whoever wants them (as far as I know, no one has taken him up on his offer)

[w00dland]

Time for me to get a bigger backyard.

[Drkstarboard]

How about V2

[twixmix0303]

I'm guessing pretty expensive because of the LIMs. Deja Vu can't be worth much now.
