Any coaster in the world

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.

Lets say there was room to put any coaster in the world up at SFGAm. What coaster would you want to be up, me personally I would want X.

Well of course I would want...

A Stand-Up Floorless Wooden Flying Pipline Bobsled 4d, with 3 Air Compressed launches, 5 cable lifts, 1 hydraulic launch, 6 runs of LIMS, and a chain lift, with a 500ft top hat and 60 inversions.

On a serious note, Nemesis at Alton Towers.

I'd want something like Phoenix at Knoebels. Of course, that was built in 1947 by PTC, so I guess I'd go with either Roar at SFMW, Twister at Knoebels, or a floorless coaster.

I would want Oblivion from Alton Towers. I want to ride that so bad. It looks like an awesome ride.

I would want a 4d coaster, not necessarily X, something new with the colors black and blue.

Besides, we wouldn't get one anyway. We already have an inverted coaster (BTR) and it's kind of an unwritten rule that if you have a B&M inverted, you don't get a vekoma inverted (and vice versa).

I have, but it was not rough like I expected. It wasn't bad at all... but that could be a different story with other SLC's.

Oh yeah, an Intamin giga would be nice as well.

I'm going the other direction here...A Floorless or a 4D would be nice but after riding both types they're almost a "one trick pony" for me. A coaster doesn't have to be the highest or fastest to be good. Sure, Top Thrill dragster is fun to ride a few times but it's not the kind of thing that makes me want to drive 10 hours to ride to again.

I'd like to see SFGAm invest in one of the newer generation wood coasters such as something like Beast or even a new Gravity Group creation such as Hades. Those types of coasters are very re-rideable and the ride varies a lot with the weather and the time of day.

Raging Bull , for instance, is my favorite ride at Six Flags but it's very predictable. I know the ride in the back seat, or the front seat will always be about the same.

One of the newly engineered wood coasters can give you a different experience every time and to me that's part of the attraction.

I'm hoping SF doesn't fall into the escalating coaster war to build the highest and fastest coaster like they did at the park with Kingda Ka. That gamble blew up in their face to put it mildly. Those of us that ride many coasters all over are starting to realize that higher and faster isn't always better. Some of the mid-size coasters pack the most punch anyway.

I think a shuttle loop or a rocket coaster would be cool.

Welcome, t-w-i-t-c-h-e-s


Oh also, another coaster i'd like would be an S&S Screaming Squirrel. Those look awesome. But I don't think any have been built yet.
