3 For 5 Game

You can add 3 rides to your home park, but you have to take out 5, what do you do?

Rules:
-The 3 should be well rounded rides that benefit the park and are possible additions that could eventually happen (no Strata for Great Escape).
-Not all of the 5 rides being removed can be kiddie rides or water park rides. Focus on dry park rides and they have to be semi thrill rides. You can remove a few kiddie rides or family rides but explain why they should be removed.

See this is a little difficult My home park is not a big Six Flags park but an old trolley park. While Canobie Lake Park houses more dry park rides then SFNE 18 are kiddie rides. The ride have only a few rides that would be considered thrilling. Many of the rides are classic or family.

I'll have to think more about this. maybe we should be able to take up up to 1 kiddie ride or a family coaster but have to explain why.

That’s a good point, I’ll change it.

For Great Adventure:
Add:
-Aqua Twist next to Batman (Mr. Freeze)
-RMC Raptor/New Gate (reuses Simulator building for station)
-Zamperla Endeavor (Supergirl) in Metropolis

Remove:
-Go-Karts (for Raptor)
-Twister (Cedar has removed that ride in their parks)
-Joker (It blocks a view of the water, La Ronde could use it more)
-Parachuter's Perch (see contingency)
-Safari Tours had been on my list because I felt it didn't fit Bugs Bunny Boomtown or DC Super Friends (I didn't know if all of Seaport's original land would be dedicated to DCSF, but you could make Skull Mountain and safari kids its own area and the ride can stay)

Contingency:
-If Top Thrill Dragstar is scrapped, I wouldn't be surprised if Kingda Ka/Zumajaro faced the same fate. Both strata's will reach 20, but not 30 in my opinion. Parachuter's Perch would be replaced by a drop tower in the scenario.

I'd hate to loose twister. If they can keep it going Why remove it. I was a little confused by the Safari ride you listed. I was going to comment to how it's unlikely they'd remove the safari tours and going back to the drive through option. but then I looked it up and its an new name for the convoy/red cars ride.

I was not talking about Safari Off Road Adventure, I was talking about a car ride in the Safari Kids area

Like I said I realized that eventually. When you mentioned Skull Mountain I did a bit of digging and figured it out.

Great Escape-

Remove:
Alpine Bobsled-pretty much SBNO, expansion
Flying Trapeze- pretty much SBNO, expansion
Go-Karts- expansion
Canyon Blaster- better coaster can go here
Skycoaster- expansion

Add:
Chance Aviator- replaces FT
S&S Freefly- replaces AB and Go-Karts
Spinning Coaster from any manufacturer- replaces CB

--- Double Post Merged ---

SFNE-

Remove:
Goliath- bad ride, expansion
Flashback- bad ride, expansion
Kryptonite Kollider- better version like 100 feet away
Tomahawk- expansion
????

Add:
-S&S Launch NOT themed to a superhero replaces Boomerangs
-Endeavor replaces Kryptonite
-Flying Scooters replace Tomahawk

You could send Rock n' Rodeo to Great Escape in the bobbled/go-karts area

Cedar Point

Add:
-Zamperla Endeavor (enterprise replacement)
-Dark Ride
-Jr Invert (in Planet Snoopy)

Remove:
-Top Thrill Dragstar (rumor has it this ride is on the chopping block)
-Cedar Creek Mine Ride (rumor has it this ride is on the chopping block)
-Wicked Twister (rumor has it this ride is on the chopping block, maybe replace with a Mack Power Splash)
---------non-ride removals---------
-It seems that they are relocating the dorms off the island, guess it counts
-Offices (park and chain), would probably be used for water park more than main park (or they could build an indoor park an an experiment there)

Or they can get their own.

Doubt you will see CP take out that many coaster anytime soon. I'd also question when the rumors popped up. let me guest wicket twister is being removed now that volcano is being removed.

And personally I wouldn't count the dorms in this. they aren't an attraction, neither are the offices.

Where are the TTD rumors? I’ve heard that there are rumors, but I haven’t heard the actual rumor or any evidence of it?

Look around enough and there are rumors every coaster will come out.

Cedar Fair wants to remove move rides with high maintenance costs and low ridership

Oh I see. Maybe it’s an unpopular opinion but I don’t think those coasters seem all that great (haven’t done any yet, hopefully I’ll do Kingda Ka this year), they’re one trick ponies. That’s why I enjoyed Storm Runner so much.

All parks want to look at rides that cost more to keep up then others. but that dosn't mean its going to come out. CF is unlikely to be able to replace TTD with a coaster of its scale that is less maintenance. Wicked Twister maybe but its a small ride so a replacement would require a lot of extra investment.

Cedar Creek Mine Ride, this seems more likely people looking to complain. this is a fairly simple ride and many arks still operate older tubular steel coaster successfully. out of all their coasters this one is lily way down on the list of maintenance costs.

They are. and it's something I have said since they were introduced.
