I have to agree with the dude that also doesn't like Whizzer.

That would be me. :wink:

They should move Revy somewhere (Yukon maybe) and put Ameri-Go-Round back.


I really don't agree with that, basically just because when Ameri-Go-Round was there, it never ran, and when it didn't run, it just sat there in the dark, when now we have a great ride in Revolution that is constantly running. I think it was a great move on SFGAm's part. We already have a carousel, I say sell the Ameri-Go-Round. What good is it doing in a box anyway?

^Plus, Revolution has a great theme going for it. It ties in well with the American Eagle right behind it and it is the perfect patriotic centerpiece to the County Fair. Going back to the original topic, that theming adds value to it. :wink:

The Amer-Go-Round never had nearly the attendance that the double decker Carousel does in the front of the park. I would have rather had a better ride put in there, but at least it's more packed than the merry-go-round. Some day that ride is going to start a fire. That thing (Revolution) burns rubber when it breaks down.

Ameri-Go-Round (even though its not running) is the most valuable ride at the park based on the size of the ride in relation to its monetary value.

Raging Bull is probably the most expensive ride in the park based on actual equipment (track, trains, etc.)


No way! V2 has to be more than Raging Bull with all the LIMs and gernerators that it has. Half the electric bill is probably on this ride alone.
It's green. It's blue. It's all over you! Enjoy your ride on Déjà Vu

^In terms of actual equipment, it cost more to make Raging Bull, however, i would think that Vertical Velocity costs more to maintain and power.
