Probably Shockwave. I miss it too but I'm kinda over the fact that they took it down.

Up until this season it would have been Rolling Thunder, but now it is Shockwave. But im sure ill enjoy the Flyer more than I did Shockwave just like I enjoy Raging Bull and Southwest Territory more than I did Rolling Thunder.
Go Bulls!

Bring back Greased Viper Wave! At least it's going to live again... After that, Rolling Thunder. But that is also living again, so we really don't need it back. So then maybe Delta Fliers and Ealge's Flight. I never even saw these, excpet in pictures, but I've been on two sky rides. I'd imaging one going over the park would be great for pictures. I know that it is at Busch Gardens Tampa, but the one on a pier in Daytona Beach is stupid. So that's my choice. Bring back the sky rides.

I would love to see Shockwave come back just because I love Arrow coasters and there is a place in my heart for each and every single one of them. I don't care how much headbanging, I still appreciate them. Yeah I'd like to see it come back, unless it comes to a park closer to my house!

Um i would have to say Shockwave so we could have a bigger coaster count and more inversions in the park!!

Yeah that was quite a bit of inversions that left the park. How many inverstions will S:UF have? Is it 3 or 4? I know for sure that won't replace the whopping inversions of Shockwave.

It's only got 2 inversions! No, it won't replace all seven inversions, but OH WELL! lol... SUF will be great anyway!

What is the exact definition of an inversion on a Flying train? I know you start below the track so it is not very similar to Vekoma's flying coasters, but what exactly does the train have to do for it to count as an inversion?

Why does how many inversions Great America have matter? They didn't even hold the record, so who cares. And S:UF has 2 inversions, a pretzel loop and a zero-g roll. in my opinion, an inversion on any coaster is a banked piece of track that goes over 90 degrees (then your feet are above your head.) There can be grey areas, though. Example: MF, since CP says it has no inversions, it doesnt.

Well not that anyone really cares that much, I was just curious. I know on the Vekoma coasters the count the inversion every time it has to flip to do an element. I was just wondering if this was also the same for the B&M flyers but aparently not. Is there a reason with designing that a regular loop would not work?

I would have to say this ride, Z-force because I never got to ride it when it was here. It was always an intriguing ride to me when it was here because it didn't have a main drop at all...Anyone ever been on this??
