While we are on the subject of taken down roller coasters: Don't you think it is sad and sickening when you see a coaster being taken down? I know if I had seen shockwave being taken down I would be sick to my stomach because I was one of the few that liked it.
I want the sfgam survivor to be held every July and August.
Sure .. If it was something you had great experiences on, then it is a sad event. I liked Shockwave a lot, but it wasn't as difficult to see it shut down as it was Horizons and possibly Orient Express.
I know I would have been really, really bummed to have seen Whizzer taken apart.
It is the nature of the business though and it will continue to be so. Some who didn't like Shockwave or had a connection to Shockwave - give those who still voice their feelings for it grief, but sooner or later those people will be in the same position when they see their favorite coaster removed. It will happen eventually. Sooner or later a Raging Bull or a Viper will be removed.
They made bad choice already. If we would leave all roller coaster we have and we had up to presence! It would be now 17:
American Eagle
Batman the Ride
Deja Vu
Demon
Gulf Coaster
Iron Wolf
Rangin' Cajun
Ranging Bull
Rolling Thunder
Shockwave
Spacely's Sprocket Rockets
Superman- The Ultimate Flight
Tidal Wave
Verical Velocity
Viper
Whizzer
Z- Force
Um...sorry to kill your theory there but it would be impossible to have some of those rides...
BTR took Tidal Wave's place
Iron Wolf took Z-Foce's place
SUF took Shockwave's place
Rolling Thunder was sorta in SWT.
