What foreign coaster or type of coaster do you wish would come to the states?

Even though im no a huge fan of Vekomas, I always wanted to see their tilt coaster take hold in the states. I feel that if a park wanted to give guest that "what the heck is that" feel that this ride would definately do it becacuse of how it tilt the track at a 90 degree angle. It could be a possible alternative to the B&Ms dive machine.... just maybe not as smooth.

but then vekome has desiged a new version of the ride and personal I really like it... the effect it would give to park guest would just make them watch it

I wouldn't mind a Goliath clone (Walibi Holland), here in the states :).

I agree about Tornado Id like to see something along the lines of Intamin Tornado in the states too... but still more stuck on the vekoma tilt coaster

X-car coaster. That would be my pick.

Wing Walker 2007?

Expedition Gforce *sigh*

Walibi's Goliath *sigh*

BMRX at Kobe Portopialand, now available to highest bidder! Go Holiday World. It's already themed, for God's sake! :) *** Edited 6/5/2006 4:06:52 AM UTC by nasai***

Regarding to the post's about inverts...

USA really does not need another one atleast for a while. All SF Parks (Except SFFT), All Paramount Parks, All Busch Parks, All CF Parks (Except MiA), And many other small parks have one. I think 30+ inverts is MORE than enough.

^ SFGE's is still in pieces, so I don't think that "counts" as having an invert.

MiA, well, after a couple years, don't be surprised if the waterpark/expansion doesn't start generating the kind of income needed to justify this kind of expediture....then again, Magic Springs got their SLC *on the cheap*, so....

BMRX - I don't know what to say....even if *I* never ever get the chance to ride, I want, desperately, for SOMEONE to scoop up on the ride. I have yet to hear a negative comment from anyone who's ridden it, as is true with most Antons, but the *family* ones that don't invert, they're SPECIAL rides...
