Me too. Oh well. I'll ride Windstorm at Old Town in Florida. One of it's drops is kinda similar to Z-Force.

Although I would love to have Z-Force back, it's not gonna happen. They demolished it in December at Magic Mountain.

^Yeah, I've also heard that they were handled pretty badly. There's no way it's coming back.

the entire ride was shredded into bite size pieces in order to fit the most amount of metal into the dump trucks possible.

why cant the park just buy some land behind the SWF site so it could have eneough time and plus it would be good for the park to regain its title of talles and fastest like it has 2 times before.

While it'd be nice for GAm to have something be the "tallest and fastest", I don't think that's what their intentions are. I think they're mainly concerned with replacing Vu with something with much more capacity, coaster or not.

^Pretty much. I strongly believe there'll be a flat ride there.

well if they want capacity they would put a ferris wheel in that spot, i've heard that they were thinking about that for a while.

I think a ferris wheel would be a nice addition to the park as it's something that GAm doesn't already have.

They would have room where Vu was. They could then add some more trees a make a nice winding que next to the stream with shade/trees. Then they could put some benches near the ride in the same shaded area.

A Ferris Wheel would be nice addition, but then you would have a bunch of people complain that they got a Ferris Wheel instead of some high thrill ride.
If it walks like socialist, quacks like socialist, smells like a socialist, .... it's a socialist. Hope, and change we can believe in.

And with all the space left over, they could put up the memorial as I said earlier
