Topping great coasters

You could always add one of those cute little cupola type things like on CP's Blue Streak. That'd top it very well. Some flags or maybe a sign would work too, depending on the coaster. With an invert, of course, you can top it with whatever you darn well please, except maybe mustard.

"I never said build a Superman clone...I said Intamin".

Um, are you forgetting what company we're talking about?

"Besides Ill take a Superman clone for just the third hill after the first helix alone".

I wouldn't. I prefer a coaster with other highlights as well. Granted, S:ROS has excellent ejector air in parts, but I find the layout fairly dull, especially when compared to it's cousin in New England.

The firs question that comes to my mind is, "Do you want to top it." Part of being a good park is having a balance of rides. Probably at least half of the visitors to a park will not ride a 200'+ hyper coaster. They want rides a little less thrilling. A park needs to try to satisfy all of its customers.

You need a kiddie coaster for the kiddies. You need a thrilling coaster for the thrill seekers, and you need an in between coaster for people who are in between. You also need shows, flats, food, etc.

To use a specific example, SFA added Penguin's Blizzard River this year. It isn't a major thrill ride, but it is what the park needed, a family ride to balance out the major coasters that were added in recent years.
