Gangsta Fruit 26, I'm not trying to be overcritical of your opinions, but while you don't want the Whizzer anymore, there are plenty of kids younger than you that do want to ride it. The money is with the families, and any business wants money. Six Flags is a business. Six Flags wants money. Hence, Shockwave's fate and Whizzer's survival.
I am with SFGAm Shock Wave on this one. You can easily take down a flume that isn't open much as it is, and replace it a new coaster. Or, better yet, put it behind Picnic Grove and use up some of the employee lot. That would make the most sense.

Bye bye ice mountain splash! That ride doesnt do anything for me.
Frank
Yeah I know.
Yankee Clipper (IMS) won't be taken down. On the days I went and it was open, it always had a full quene.
Both flumes are very popular when they're open.
Loggers is more popular than IMS (or it's just open more
 ), and the drop is more unique. Plus, it gives you more of a splash.
Theres way too many possibilities with what rides or coasters that can be taken out. I cant wait to see what sfgam does when its time for a new coaster.
Frank
dont be dumb... because Whizzer is a great family coaster and a big one at that, it still thrills people and everyone can ride it. Not everyone could ride shockwave 
Yeah i really like Whizzer.
Gangsta Fruit needs a lover with 'em on Whizzer.
Opinions change quickly my friend.
EDIT:
Ehhh....lets just say Whizzer is more intense than any 'ol floorless.
[quote="SFGAm Shock Wave"]Why does everyone always miss the obvious? No coasters have to be removed for SFGAm to get a new coaster. Just take out a flume, we don't need 2 right next to each other.
2 Questions: For Shock Wave Haters: Did you ever ride Shock Wave in the back row? For Whizzer Haters: Have you ever ridden Whizzer with your significant other? [/quote]
I am a Shockwave hater and yes i have been in back row. That row is the row that gave me a concussion. Therefore, not a fan. Just for everyone's information, i am 19 years old and still would place Whizzer up in my top 5 in the park. Sometimes i like it more than Vu and Viper, so i don't know what everyone hates about it. I am now reitterating the fact that Whizzer is the most underrated ride in the park. RIP: Trailblazer and Deja Vu...heck, even Alien Encounter

So thats why you like whizzer. Frank
^ I like Whizzer in the same way, but its good alone too. Just a lot more fun sitting in a guy's lap... especially if they're holding you. Or if the guy is in your lap, I don't know if I have done that yet (at least not on Whizzer, but on a different coaster) but it's just as good.
I took somebody's advice from these forums once, and decided to look down instead of up at the track on SUF sometime over the summer, and have been doing it ever since. Way more fun if you look down, gives you more of a flying feeling.
^ I knew it!
Anyway, I will have to try looking down on SUF next time. Frank
Well, I couldn't find an official Shockwave topic, but anyways:
They ought to have played Green Day's "Give Me Novacaine" in the queue (or exit) of Shockwave. 
I don't get what's so special about a floorless coaster. I'd rather see a new innovative coaster than a floorless anyday.

I'm not sure if I completely agree with you, playerplex. For one, any ride with the tag "new and innovative" also has the tag "plagued with downtime". If you think about it, the last 3 major roller coasters SFGAm has gotten, Deja Vu, V2, and Superman, none of the three, especially Deja Vu, have had very small amounts of downtime. I think the best route SFGAm could choose would be to put in a nice, people-moving, reliable coaster, and a floorless fits that mold completely.

Hmm, I swing both ways on Whizzer, girl in my lap or me in a girls lap. As Dan can tell you
Whizzer is great, and rct2 is right, it's way more intense than a floorless Top 5 wood-5-Goliath 4-Ravine Flyer II 3-Phoenix 2-Voyage 1-El Toro
Top 5 Steel- 5-Velocicoaster 4- Maverick 3- Fury 325 2-Steel Vengeance 1-X2 Coaster Count: 444
I just dont see how its more intense than a floorless.
Frank
^It might have to do with the seating. Whizzer has very strong, banked turns with very little holding you in the car. Floorlesses on the other hand, although flipping you upside down, buckle you in with a shoulder harness and a seat belt connecting the harness to the seat. Whizzer is a little more free.

If people had a little more common sense whizzer wouldnt have any type of restraint.
^Tig'rr still doesn't at Indiana Beach and Indiana is no smarter than us. The park just uses it as a precaution.

Thats what I was thinking. Thats why I like Space mountain at WDW. Just a little bar and you get lots of airtime. Plus I like how you sit down. Frank
^I only wish it had headrests.
