What coaster needs the most work done.

What coaster needs the most work done. I mean you can include anything such as new restraints new wheels new coat of paint ect.

Mine would be Viper at SFGAd. Its a great ride but needs new trains and a new coat of paint. Plus the last turn fixed.

The American Eagle & Shockwave, both at SFGAm, should be refurbished or redesigned somehow so that they can relive their past glory. Shockwave should get the Phantom's Revenge treatment, hopefully by Morgan as well, and the Eagle should be strengthened or retprofiled so that the trim brakes become unnecessary (however, it should NOT be reprofiled in a matter that makes it boring !).

Also, Mean Streak should get the same treatment - get rid of those trims !
How about a CCI "rebuilding" of Mean Streak ?!?

Mantis could *really* use a new coat of paint. It's really faded, and it some spots, it's completely white (I'm guessing that's the primer since I've never seen white steel before).

I'd say the Conneaut Lake Blue Streak needs a little retracking done on the turnaround, and maybe a little work done on the trains.

Also, a new paint job would be nice ;)

One word Flashback! New everything.

SFMM went from Amusment Park to Xtreme Park.They skipped Theme park :)

Rolling Thunder needs a new coat of paint. I love the trains. They are early PTC 3 bench with traditional lap-bars! The only thing I want done with the trains are to get ride of the headrests and get rid of the dividers. If they did that, it would be an ACE coaster classic!

The Screamin Eagle at SFSL needs a lot of work done. It needs new paint the restraints could use a little work and the track needs a lot of WD40.

Rebel Yell @ PKD REALLY needs a new paint job!

My favorite Coaster is named after Poop, and I actually like Boomerangs! What is wrong with me?

Mean Streak, period. I think it has potential to be good.

Yeah, with the restoration of Phantom's Revenge from the Steel Phantom, Kennywood really improved a ride to make it the best ride in the park. More parks should do what Kennywood did...get Morgan to reprofile old and rough Arrow Mega-Loopers.

Morgan should come up with technology to create a non-shoulder harness train and come up with new bodies, and come up with larger radius loops to replace the ones that have a small radius and are placed 130 feet off the ground. (Nowadays, that looks stupid when u have B&M making large loops)

Many parks could benifit from restoring an older mega looper, and make it much more popular among the guests, and save money at the same time. Probably the main reason though more parks don't do what Kennywood did is because a good restoration would still cost a good 6-7 million bucks, and the larger park chains just figure we'll add a newer coaster anyway.

Raging Wolf Bobs needs new paint job and the whole thing retracked and needs to run 2 trains

Deja Vu needs alot of work done...
-------------
Bull rides: 81
Shockwave rides: 55

GASM & Rolling Thunder @ SFGAdv

Both need paint Badly!

Texas Cyclone needs a new coat of paint, retracking, and re-profiling it back to what it was when it was rated the best coaster in the world. I would love the PTC 4 bench trains it used to have, but i doubt that will happen.

I agree Deju Vu needs some work and especially Rolling Thunders right side.

Mean Streak gets worked on every morning!

Just because Mean Streak is on the rough side doesn't mean it doesn't get worked on. Every single morning before the park opens a team of carpenter walk the track and fix anything that needs to be fixed. I have been at Cedar Point quite a few times this year in the morning by Mean Streak and you can hear somebody hammering something. Also don't talk the talk if you haven't walked the walked - Just because Mean Streak hasn't been so good in the last few years this year it is running quite well.

Just because you don't get airtime on it doesnn't mean it needs to redesigned or it isn't a great ride. In fact I know several(actually quite a few) people who would take Mean Streak over any other coaster in the world any day, it because those people don't care so much for airtime and they like the nice long ride it provides.

SoB needs new trains very very badly
