Who should get the Texas Tornado?

Which theme park do you think should get the Texas Tornado after its dne being dismatled? I personally wish that SFGAm would get this coaster, it would easily fit next to Superman in SW's old spot and it wouldbe cool having another looper where SW was.

Ed Markey's backyard ;). We all know how much he loves those G's...

It should travell trough european fairs.

I'm so sad i missed the chance to ride it when it was on a visit in sweden, but I was probably too short to ride it anyway.

I would personally love to see it go cheap to an independent.

It should go to....Universal Studios, and they should theme it to Apollo 13

What is happening to the Texas Tornado?

Houston has a problem....with Texas Tornado :)

That's why it just has to be rethemed to Apollo 13 and sent to Universal Studios!!!

Robland...'nuff said...:)

Magic Springs - They need a looping coaster (or any kind of coaster). Plus, it not too far away!!

Astroworld is getting rid of Texas Tornado to answer your question Monto58.

The Great Escape should get it. It's the Astroworld of the northeast. Only reject rides allowed.

-----------------

Frontier City, in Oklahoma City should get it. It is a fairly compact layout, and Frontier city doesnt have much space. But it does have enough space for TT.

Well, let's see, what park is always getting skipped over for new rides and desperately needs something?

Oh, wait.

That's where it's coming from.

(Sorry, I just couldn't resist! :-))

Actually, Great America wouldn't be that bad an idea. We could use another pure looping coaster, and if this coaster likes the cold, the Chicago winters will more than oblige. ;-). Also, it's so small I'm sure we could fit in somewhere. On the other hand, there are plenty of other "cold-weather" Six Flags parks. Although The Great Escape probably won't get it for next year, letting it sit in storage for a year and debuting it there in '04 might work. A few people keep insisting that SFA is getting something new next year, so that's another possibility.

Those are the Six Flags options. There are another two: One, Six Flags could put it up for sale. If that happens, all bets are off. I'm sure someone will buy it, as it's got to be pretty cheap and could fit almost anywhere. But that someone could be anywhere from some rich guy with a big backyard to Cedar Fair. There's no telling. The other option is Six Flags scraps it, or just let's it rot in the boneyard 'till it's un-salvageable.

Frankly, out of all these possibilities, the only one I can say is more or less likely than any of the others is that I doubt it'll go to SFGAm.

How about nobody gets it? Other than the scrapyard.

Whoever gets it better be prepared for a bit of a junker that breaks down a lot. This ride has already been moved and installed over 100 times.

And they better enjoy downright painful rides. At least two of the trains still have the spine-crunching accordion restraints, and the new modified OTSR's are quite the head bashers themselves.

Its compact layout could be squeezed in just about anywhere, though.

I have a hunch that SFA will get it. I don't claim to know anything; just a hunch.

-----------------
But seriously folks, I respect the opinions of yall who don't like the thing, but if MF were human, I'd marry it.

Dexter, that would be cool. SFA will get Premier, which is located 20 minutes from SFA, to put their lapbars on the trains. And we'll all be happy!

Dude, you're getting an Intamin!

LOL @ Great American! Good one, dude! And so true!
