What coaster needs the most work done.

SOB needs a new everything badly

deja vu...very badly

how about SFAW? Most of their rides need at least a new coat of paint, and some of them could use new trains.

-------------
Red Wings Suck!!!

The trains are fine. Just this year they have refurbished the following trains:

Texas Cyclone (complete overhaul and removal of headrests)
The Viper (wheel assemblies)
Batman (new restraints and wheel assemblies)
Serial Thriller (sealed bearings and wheels)
Greezed Lightning (complete overhaul)
XLR-8 (complete overhaul and added "pinch zone" guards)
The Serpent (new restraints)
Texas Tornado (complete rehab, new restraints.. but we won't discuss this one.. cough)
Ultra Twister (complete rehab in progress by Premier Rides)
That only leaves Mayan Mindbender, and I dunno if they did anything there or not.


But yes, I admit that just about every single ride at SFAW needs paint.

For 2002, the following rides are slated to be painted: XLR-8, Batman, Ultra Twister, Texas Cyclone, The Viper, The 610 Limited train.

I think it would be possible to make a hyper-looper like Steel Phantom without the headbaning ,with the use of computers. At one part of the ride, when it does the huge 200 + drop and dips, The shoulder restraint is tucked inside the train, but when the first loops and the start of the inversion part of the ride, The shoulder restraints magically come on you.

Collosus definetly needs a new makeover.

1: Replace rough and shaky collosus trains with new trains

2: Add loads of badding to the trains

3: Add double dip back

4: Add some extra stuff like the 2nd hill

5: Make one train go backwards

6: Make it race

7: Paint collosus

8: Fix the track a bit or retrack it or something, It looks horrible, I know the ride looks great but when you look at the track its all old and mushy..

9: Take out breaks

Also Revolution, Take out breaks and Shoulder Restraints....

Thats all sfmm needs...

"Texas Cyclone needs a new coat of paint, retracking, and re-profiling it back to what it was when it was rated the best coaster in the world. I would love the PTC 4 bench trains it used to have, but i doubt that will happen."

It most certainly does not need re-tracking. The trains ride beautifully, with no wash-boarding at the bottom of drops. It's the (with apologies to SFoT and SFFT) best running (giving the most consistently good rides) wood coaster in Texas right now.

Re-profiling... well, I agree the south-bend turn around should be returned to it's former banked glory.

And I'd cry if they put PTC's on this ride. But then again, I think PTC's are too narrow (from side to side). I personally like the California Style trains (yes yes, call me weird).
