Every single wooden coaster from Chicago's Riverview Park

why stop at just one park. every wooden coaster ever built, minus the one that they had the nurse in the station. I don't think that would be a good selling point.

I'd like to see shockwave rebuilt, it was the smoothest ride i have ever been on. I love it, it's like riding in a car, that goes upside down, and is smooth.

Of course, the CB Cyclone, but I'd really like to see the Cedar Point Cyclone, and the old Cyclone Racer. (Didn't CCI or GCI offer a recreation for sale? I think they had a model of their one at a trade show a while back.)

Definately the Long Beach Cyclone Racer, that would be great. I have lots of older friends who say it was the wildest coaster ever. Of course they were not enthusiasts.

My other pick would be the Woodcliffe Blue Streak. It looks like it had the coolest 2 drops ever.

I did this exact topic about 2 months ago and the idora park wildcat was my want to ride, LOL. It is supposed to be killer.

Drachen Fire and the CB Cyclone. The CB Cyclone looks like soo much fun. Although I've never ridden Drachen Fire, I would love to have been able to see what it was like.

Airplane coaster was actually completely safe, it was the percieved danger that killed it.......... ironic and tragic.

Definately the Coney Island Thunderbolt. Another John Miller masterpiece recieved the wrecking ball. It's a real shame, it looked like one breath-taking ride! http://www.rcdb.com/installationgallery423.htm

Awesome topic btw.

Edit: I'd also REALLY like to see Little A-merrick-a get the Lincoln Park Comet. From what I hear, they've decided it can't be saved but the owner has plans of rebuilding a "clone" of it when he has enough money/supplies, hope everything turns out!

Windjammer!!!!

In no particular order:

Cyclone Racer, Aeroplane, Idora Wildcat, Riverview Bobs, Puritas Springs Cyclone, Westview Dips, CP Cyclone, Shooting Star, Flying Turns [any], and probably more if I really thought about it.

Um... much to most people's dismay...I'd have to say Shockwave thatused to be at SFGAm. I only rode it once, and it wasn't really that rough of a ride. If it was built within 500 miles of my house, i would drive to the park just to ride it(when i get my license. 363 days until iget my permit!).

RIP Shockwave

Start saving, it's going to be a long winter.

If you and Soggy are talking about the same coaster, I'd love to have a chance to ride that one, as well.

Add the Woodcliffe Blue Streak to my list as well:

I completely forgot about this monster, which held three records including fastest woodie and longest drop [140'] on a coaster for 52 years! Those records were broken by The Beast. Cool thing, that drop was in the middle of the ride into the ravine.

That's the one..

The Long Beach Racer, and any number of the other woodies that existed on the coast here in Southern California.

Moosh, that is the place I originally found out about the Woodcliffe Blue Streak. That whole "Lost Legends" section is great.

Drachen Fire.

Cyclone Racer looked like it would have been fun to ride. Oh yeah, and they should also make a few clones of the Coney Island Cyclone. Wait...

I talked with the Dippin' Dots guy and he assured me that Cedar Point was to get that 10-inversion terra-woodie-invert-stand-up because Magnum is sinking. The current construction is for the new super-Dippin' Dots stall he is to run.
