If you had to remove one ride from your home park-- Which one would it be?

In 2006, Celebration City had 331,000. Not bad for a park that is only open 3pm - 10pm everyday and on a very limited operating season.
SFA: Remove High seas in favor of a frisbee,or a chance morgan revolution <assuming it would fit in that spot>,PBR<for reasons previously mentioned>,remove TOD in favor of a standup gyro-drop or S&S tower complex.
I'd get rid of the "humped" Chiller at Great Adventure myself. Without the zero g its really nothing to rave about.
You mean that's actually a ride? I thought that was a statue of a coaster built as some sort of tribute to coasters. Huh. And here I thought a ride was supposed to be able to be ridden.
Penguin's Blizzard River has always been a curious addition. Rumor has it that it was "stolen" from SFFT. That would explain the non-frozen-looking color scheme.
What the ride does has always been curious to me as well. I love flats as many know, but I've had to close my eyes at the end from the spinning. Last year, it didn't feel like the velcro pads had either a) been maintained or b) maybe some had removed on purpose due to complaints.
In any respect, without water effects going, you get a nice view of lower Gotham City from the lift and that's about it. Right now, the only water effects are the chance splash in the upper area of the ride, and if the water pipe is turned on (now that works pretty well), and oh yeah, the randomly spitting peguins.
Lastly, my solution for Tower of Doom would be to buy another Intamin Tower (on their dime for all the trouble we've had) that would be much taller and have more sides. The difference I'd make? The location.
Put it down in lower Gotham City by one of the S:ROS helices. Supossedly, the top of S:ROS is the tallest you can go (without any other height waivers). That woud allow for a much taller tower than its current location.

For me, it's not the film, I'm talking about the building/ride itself. I want the damn thing imploded...it looks so ugly compared to the rest of the park.The current film ("Smoky Mountain Wilderness Adventure") was made in '02. When the ride opened in 1996 it had the film "Thunder Road" which was based on the movie of the same name.

Noted, due to advertising I was under the impression this was new for '02. I totally missed the motion theatre on my first visit in '97, my second visit in '06 I rode it, but it isn't re-rideable. I do see your point about it not fitting in. I really never thought about that aspect before. (I missed my chance to ride their 50's themed Polyp/Monster too!)
A good location for a new tower would be the field next to JJ.....even though it's currently used for maintenance/storage a gyro drop wouldn't take up much space there at all.

It's the Fireball!!
Ride to remove Xcellerator or Ghostrider
why? Xcellerator is boring after the first time or two. Up done around 2 times and hard into the break run (that break run got harder than when the ride first opened)
Ghostrider was a fun ride before 2002 now it just hearts.
In my opinion it belongs in the WP or nowhere at all. In a perfect world, guests would understand the shoes/no shoes, shorts/no shorts required "logic" of that whole area...but alas, people are not that smart. It's a pain :(.
