As some of you may know, there is a full size replica of the Titanic being built to be a luxury cruise line.(No icebergs included, hopefully.)
In line with this, if funding were available, what fabled coaster of the past would you MOST like to see re-created now? (And not a homage like Twister is to Mr. Twister, but an actual duplicate)...
Just curious as to WHAT you'd like to see???

"You have to scale a lot of lift hills to coast easily..."
The Airplane Coaster from Rye Playland and either the Fireball or The Bobs from Riverview in Chicago.

Six Flags America IS a Six Flags park!
Fred Church's Airplane Coaster tops my list.
The Big Bend at SFoT. And put it back in the same place, please. Rip out Looney Land if you must. Also, there may be some spare coaster parts available soon in Kansas City. :)
Just kidding about the KC thing.
As for Looney Tunes Land... Don't worry, there are currently no kiddie coasters in the way.
Several years back when I visited Florida there was a park called Bordwalk and Baseball which is now closed( The Royals spring training was there I think. They had a wooden coaster I liked called the hurricane (I think?). I would like to ride that again. Does anyone else remember that one? Has it been rebuilt?
The Florida Hurricane from Boardwalk and Baseball is now the Arkansas Twister at Magic Springs. At least your wish is possible.
My list:
Crystal Beach Cyclone
Long Beach Pike Cyclone Racer
Euclid Beach Thriller
Euclid Beach Flying Turns
Euclid Beach Racing Coaster
Rye Airplane
Idora Wildcat
I'm from Cleveland and Euclid Beach closed when I was 1 years old. I wish it was still around.

I'd love to see The Bat brought back to life. But then, I'd just like to see ANY new suspendeds be built.
Palisade's Cyclone and Revere Beach's Lighting would be great rebuilt today, but the Airplane Coaster is at the top of my list.
Yeah, some new suspended coasters need to come out that are bigger and faster, and are way more intense. Whatever happened to these coasters?
I'd like to see all the Traver classics rebuilt. The drop of Crystal Beach Cyclone was a thing of beauty. If the boardwalk progect at Cedar Point comes through like I expect it will I would love to the rebuilding of the great Cedar Point Cyclone.
The Zambezi Zinger at Worlds of Fun. I know I can always go up to Great America and ride Whizzer, but it still isn't the same.
Of course, if someone wants to give me the money to fly to Columbia, South America to ride it, I'd be happy with that.

Idora Wildcat !!!!!!! Enough Said.
I think the Mauch Chunk Gravity Railroad should be rebilt, the entire layout is a historical monument or something so all they have to do is lay the track. The other one I would like to see rebuilt is Traver's Cyclone Racer in Long Beach California. All of you who want the Rye Flying Coaster rebuilt, my Grandmother rode that when she was a young woman, before she had children. And she has never been on a roller coaster sence, that ride terrifed her so emencly that she shudders at the sight of one even today. She says that the Flying Coaster rattled her so bad that she nearly passed out after she was done ridding, WOW i want to ride that sucker too.
