Modern version of retro coasters. What would you like to see produced again?

For me I'd like to see a new S&S/ Arrow suspended coaster with the new floorless trains. Maybe taller as well like a 150ft that would be cool. Another would be a Morgan or S&S racing out and back hyper.

Forgot to mention a spinning wild cat or a new version of the jumbo jet.

I'd like to see some coasters that have failed in the past reattempted. For instance, I think the layout for the Crystal Beach Cyclone was awesome. I think they could reconfigure it so that it was safe but still maintain a level of intensity. It would be a great way to bring some nostalgia to a reasonably priced coaster.

Great idea!

How about a mega-sized Intiman Rocket that does exactly what a Schwarzkopf shuttle can do:

Absolutely the Crystal Beach Cyclone.

Or, something like This.

Hey Clint, give Thunder and TTornado my love!

I know this has been said before, but I would like to see The Bat (from PKI) make a comeback, but one that runs more reliably.

How about just a plain old switchback railway? ;-)

I'm surprised that we haven't seen more suspended coasters over the years. Based on XLR-8, Iron Dragon, and BBW, they make for excellent family coasters.

I wouldn't exactly call Vortex at PCW a family coaster. That has to be the best suspended I have ever ridden.

It is definately no Draggin' Iron!

Flying Turns!

I would like Intamin to design A Semi-Compact Giga Coaster, related to the old Schwarzkoph Looping Stars. Back to back 200ft+ Vertical Loops would be insane. Not to mention all of the other possibilties. *** Edited 7/21/2005 12:55:16 PM UTC by Blackie***

Anything that John Miller built, especially the terrain coasters, oh and also the Vettel family's later coasters (West View).

Any/all of these:

Travers disappeared from the planet much the way Antons are threatening....:(

Virginia Reel!!

I can't remember the name, but I'd like to see a new version of that old coaster whose last two drops were into a deep valley with no lights... someone help me out here.

Hell some coasters NEED a nurse's station now. ;-)

On one of the many "history of roller coasters" shows I have taped there is one in particular (besides the first looping coaster) that still intrigues/scares me......

I am not sure who made it or where the homemade video was shot (and I am too lazy right now to look through my tapes to find what coaster show it was on) but it showed a "spiraling" type of coaster that would also tilt side-to-side. It looked totally SICK and VERY dangerous.

I'd like to see a Intiam Strata with Flying trains. Invert the track so your facing down and launch. Nitro with stand up trains would kick ass too!!

Tina...Is this the one you're looking for?

We'll see, there's rumors that Beech Bend is doing *something along those lines*...:)

Personally, I'd also LOVE to get to see one of those "coasters" where the whole structure moved from side to side, "propelling" the train thru the course. Kinda a cross between a Wave Swinger, a Topple Tower, and a roller coaster. That thing looked AMAZING....I think there was one at Coney...

how about an exact replica of the rye aeroplane coaster.

also a replica of the long beach cyclone racer (with millinium flyer trains)

a giant sized wooden virginia reel (complete with tunnel).

clones of those 60's era wild mice.

these would be a good start.

Gator, if I'm not mistaken, I think Tina is referring to something that was kind of like a combination between a coaster and a flat ride. Almost like a large Trabant-style ride with a coaster train that circled around the ride's structure, if I remember correctly. It looked like the weight of the train affected the structure's tilting motion.

Tina - I remember seeing old b&w footage of it on a couple of those history shows, too. They had some CRAZY rides back in the day!
