Rides that haven't been painted since they were new should probably be done...Maverick and Wicked Twister.

I agree with the Blue Streak being made original again. While I can't ride it, the Rotor was always fun to watch.

While I agree in theory, you have to wonder if the cost would be justifiable. Rougarou cost $2 million to convert, and you have to figure most of that covered the trains.

I'm glad somebody created this topic. It sucks that Cedar Fair spent the money to convert it to Floorless, and people still think it's a headbanger. I love Rougarou the way it is, but if they could so everyone could be happy, I wish they had pillow restraints towards the head that way nobody would complain about it.

A good way I've found to ride Rougarou is to anticipate the turns and tilt your head into the turn. Works great, did that on Mantis also and always had good rides.

I just wish B&M would get with the times and make restraints for their looping coasters that aren’t OTSRs. Every other manufacturer has done it...

The Giant Slide

The Pirate Ride

Paddlewheel - it was a nice soothing, relaxing journey "down the river" even though the jokes were really bad

Am I the only person in this forum who doesn’t care to see paddlewheel excursions return?

Not trying to add to the list, but I for one would be happy to see a Paddle-wheel excursion return.

Not alone Urumqi - I too am in the "sink the paddleboat" camp. My kids never liked it for some reason.so I do not have a sentimental attachment to it. It was fine but it sure is not "all that" to my family.

Paddle Wheel Booze Cruise... upcharge attraction of course, 21+ (If they can put wine and cheese on a peddle bike, there’s no reason they can’t do this. )

Based on the above replies, maybe a restaurant called "A Taste of Scranton"?

I'm with zoug68 in the 'repaint some of the rides' camp.

I would like to see vertigo come back. It looked like so much fun. Maybe a better designed version. It's a shame I was born in 01. 😀

Slingshot is pretty close - and I never rode Vertigo BTW, I'm only two years older than you!

I'm not sure if S&S still makes Vertigo-type rides, so that might be as close as you'll get.
