My idea is to initially kill Wild Beast, start another wooden coaster build in scope to Mean Streak at Cedar Point (or better, that's the biggest wooden coaster I've been on) and then once complete kill Mine Buster. Voila! The New and Improved Great Canadian Mine Buster.![]()
I think Top Gun was the best ride at Wonderland, before Behemoth. I wouldn't consider Top Gun out of date.
Nothing wrong with your first comment - everyone is entitled to their own favourite ride. In fact, one of mine happens to be Spinovator. But to claim that Top Gun is not out of date is a classic example of typical Toronto coaster ignorance. A full year before Top Gun was even built, Raptor (another inverted roller coaster at Cedar Point) was already in operation. It's 20% faster, 30% taller, and 70% longer. That alone doesn't make it a better ride, but it demonstrates that even when Top Gun was built, it was already WELL behind the times.
Like I said, sheer size is not necessarily what makes a ride good. But in terms of technology, even Behemoth is well behind the times. 300+ foot tall rides have been around for almost 10 years. Behemoth is quite similar in size to the first 200+ foot ride that was built in 1989, and which also happens to be my favourite ride of all time.
I wouldn't consider Behemoth to be out of date at all. How many 300 foot coasters are there? Two? Most major parks have a coaster in the 200+ foot range and Wonderland is finally joining them. I think we'll be seeing a lot of the rides demolished and replaced with bigger, better ones. Some coaster designs Wonderland doesn't have:Like I said, sheer size is not necessarily what makes a ride good.
