What SFGAM coaster(s) would you want to taken down?

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

What coasters would you want taken down so that maybe we could get new coasters or put SW in it's place?


I personally thing that they should remove AE and get some 250ft racing Hyper twister roller coasters.

(I know all you AE fans might disagree but hey we all have our own thoughts right.)

^ Are you being sarcastic or are you meaning that as a true statement?

I'm being sarcastic. Here are the reasons it will never happen.

1. Space. AE has a much smaller footprint than people think it does.
2. Raging Bull is a hyper twister, why the hell would we get two more?
3. Money. One hyper twister costs 13 million dollars, do you actually think Six Flags can afford two.

Get my drift?

Plus, no coasters need removed. Go to Indiana Beach, and you'll see what I mean.

I can't agree with you. The footprint is huge. I couldn't see why the park couldn't build a RB 2 in there. I wouldn't want a RB 2 though. Does SFGAm even use the other road anymore? If they don't, they could build around that if they wanted to.

However, I don't think SF would take out this coaster anytime soon. It's a woodie, and many SF have two. They would probably would want to put another one in if it was taken out.

Instead of a ride being 250 feet have it be like 300 feet.

Keep all roller coasters, especially AE, but take out Stargate and Go-Karts and put in a small B&M floorless.

(Why does everyone hate AE so much?)

^Cause it's rickety and it needs a paint job.

Both of those can be fixed. It doesn't mean it HAS to get taken down.

I don't post much here, but have been loitering around long enough to know this topic has been brought up way too many times. Why can't everyone just be happy with the coasters we have and think more on a positive "build a coaster" level than a negative "destroy a coaster" level?

First of all, this topic is just an opinion not a reality. i would say iron wolf. It is my least favorite ride in the park. I think that if they do end up taking out Stargate and Winners Circle, that they should replace it with a roller soaker. That would also help capacity at the water park.

i think that instead of taking down AE and puting a whole new steel coaster that it would be better to rebuild it. that we be better because 1-it would be so much cheaper than racing hyper twisters and 2-because it make AE a better ride than what it all ready is!
