Yes I also want Shockwave back but out of 100% I think we have like a 1% chance of getting it. I have never heard of a ride that was taken down and put back up in the same park please inform me if there was.

/\ Whirligig, but that's a different story. Anyway of a 100% or any % it's 0. Why would they even think about considering building it when almost everybody that went on it hated it?

...in case you didn't pay attention the traffic pattern for ShockWave was the following.
Had a line during the day, empty trains at night. This is a result of people going on it, realizing that they hated it, and not going on it again :roll:.
I didn't hate it, actually I wrote it 114x in 2002. But a parks gotta do what a parks gotta do, and GAm had to take it out and i'm not gonna complain about that.
Also S:UF ownz it in every way shape and form :wink:.

Exactly the got a shockwave make it bigger and change the names like RB with Goliath. I heard it will turn up in Astro World. Over Georgia. But I think they should just rebuild it b.c everybody misses they old head banger. Well not everybody but I do.

He's kidding. I hope. Seriously, some of you are too attached to Shockwave. Until it leaves the employee parking lot and the hill for any reason, lets just keep comments on where it is going, to ourselves.(whether the metal plant or another park)
None of us positively know where it is going. If you read all of the pages of this topic, you will see how many different places we thought that it could be going.

Here's a laugh for ya'll. After reading all of this topic this afternoon, I wrote down all the possible places that people thought Shockwave was going. Here's the list: 1. SFMM 2. SFKK 3. SFGadv 4. Landfill 5. SFNO 6. half of it is going to one park and half of it to another 7. Back up at SfGam 8. The rumored six flags in Millwauke 9. greatamerica2003's backyard(someone believed that) 10. SFStl 11. Wyandot Lake 12. Ebay 13. To Ford's Trucks for the metal 14. SFWoa 15. old melting pot 16. stay on the hill 17. sold for scrap metal 18. SFNE 19. England 20. SFAW 21. Holiday World 22. Visionland 23. swimmerkev's room 24. one of the other six flags parks 25. Magic Springs 26. SFFT 27. Frontier City 28. SFEG 29. SFOG.

Does anyone else have one for me to make a perfect 30? :wink:

Okay, I don't want to sound stupid. But, is something like that even possible? I mean what the heck would two different parks do with a two seperate halves of a roller coaster?

I got a little laugh out of reading that list.

I mean, I liked Shockwave alot. I was more upset about the fact that I didn't get to ride it again before it was torn down, then I was about it being taken down - horrible sentence, I know. (Of course, the one year I don't get a pass is the year that they took it down :evil: ). But there really is no use in people trying to figure out where it is going. I mean, I'd be thrilled if it was put back up here at GAm, but I am not going to hold my breath.

I'm glad this topic hasn't been locked yet - it's been quite amusing.

Making us waste our money for fastlanes for Whizzer, when we could have been riding shockwave.

After just riding Viper in SFMM I believe if they added a few sets of trims after the inversions that ride could be good again, since in my opinion Viper was very very smooth at SFMM
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
