Haybayler first, Rolling Thunder second. I found a blank space for Haybayler, right next to the Chubasco (where the stupid Rainmaker show was), now big gap. Riding the Music Fest at St. Thecla Carnival will crave my Haybayler appetite.

How many inversions doesn't matter, it just matters how they fit with the ride. SUF could have more while BTR has enough. Too much of the same thing makes more bored.

Speaking of Shockwave (this might have come up before), didn't anyone think that the last year it was there your head didn't get banged. For my first time on it maybe 5-6 years ago, I had a headache after that ride. The last year it was at SFGAM, I went on it a few times because my brother just loved it to death, and nothing happened, not one bang. Demon too! Did they change the harnesses?

If they opened Shockwave again, the park would have line all the way to Wisconsin. Different tastes for different people. in my opinion SUF is much better.

Bleh, ShockWave = loud and obnoxious and unpopular, and over a stupid paved lot.
I honestly don't want them to bring anything back, what they have now is better than anything they can bring back.

I'd have to vote for Sky Whirl :)

Others that I wouldnt mind seeing make a triumphant return would be Delta Flayer/Yukon Yahoo and Big Top back in it's original location (taking it off the platform was just as good as getting rid of it all together), Tidal Wave would be fun.

As for the common answer Shockwave I'd rather see it spring up someplace other than SFGAm but close enough where I could ride it often(SFKK/SFStL, MA, Adventureland all come to mind) :)

what about the skyride, if we could bring back that it would be awesome, or even a new one. Skyride are always an awesome addition to the park and are always very popular.

in my opinion we need a ferris wheel...Sky Trek Tower does give nice views of the park but a ferris wheel would help more...

I will be honest, I never rode Shockwave. I ride every single ride that he rides. And he didnt feel like riding it so I didn't. If I knew it was its last year I would have rode it. But I think the SUF is better because when I am on it I don't think about Shockwave. One question is Viper at SFMM the exact same or near the exact same as Shockwave :?:

It's a little bigger and features a half helix instead of quarter.

They Claimed lack of parts when indeed there were enough parts hence the third sky whirl from the third Marriott park.

in my opinion again about Sky Whirl, I believe the real reason it was taken down was because of people either spitting or standing on the ride. All the time I saw security come out from in back of the Haybayler and going to the Skywhirl. Also, considering they had to balance that thing, it didn't get enough as it should have (having every other filled only in the later years). It was packed though everytime I went in line.

Side Note:
I miss the Haybayler (sigh), Music Fest not as good.
