What ride would you remove?

I know 90% of you are going to say "OH LOOK ANOTHER TAER IT DOWNER" so no need to tell me. You can just stay out of the conversation. But if you could remove a ride of choice, what would it be?

The thing I would like to remove does not qualify as a ride but it took the place of one.

Or, alternately, you could follow forum etiquette and contribute to the three existing threads on the very first page concerning this topic instead of trying to make yourself seem special by making your own.

Girl: "l want to ride that yellow one again... Twisted Wicker"
Me: "It's a roller coaster, not a broken clothes hamper."

Instead of tearing down the park lets add to it without tearing something down. Why do you want to tear something down? I don't get it. Knowing that there isn't going to be a big addition to the park in the next few years why do you want to take something out?

I think the OP is trying to say, "what ride do you most dislike or feel is the most expendable." We-o is right, though; how many threads exactly like this are available to post in?

Dinosaur's Alive or Luminosity?

I'm going to go with Dinosaur's Alive myself as well as its upcharge.

Dinosaurs Alive is what I was thinking. I don't care about Luminosity one way or the other but I think they could have done a much better job of placing it within the park.

I think there is an upcharge for DA because they lease those dinosaurs. But yeah, I'd get rid of it because it looks boring to me. The only upcharge attraction that I think is worth it are the go-karts in Challenge Park.

I've been checking out those go-karts and going to make it a point to try them next year.

If we're going to go with a ride removal I will suggest Snake River Falls. Are we over it yet? Can we get any more boring? Seems like an expensive way of pouring a bucket of water over your head.

I'm just curious, does anybody really enjoy this ride and why? Is the one hill worth the wait and short but slow prelude?

I understand I am trashing a traditional Shoot the Chute ride.

Someday I will ride this but only before going to Soak City, certainly not in my clothes I'm wearing the rest of the day.

SRF might be worth the wait on a very hot summer day. But I'd rather go on Thunder Canyon.

I don't care for water rides but my kids do. I like being able to just lie on one of those log benches while they run between the three of them. They would miss SRF.

Yes, because variety. I wouldn't wait long for it, but that's true of any ride for us.

And it's a popular ride when the weather is appropriate.

And these threads suck, because rather than being thoughtful discussions, they inevitably turn into "I don't like X, so they should replace it with a coaster."

Don't read it then. You're not forced to click on it. I said at the beginning that if you're going to complain about this topic then stay out of it. Some people like discussing it.

I'm not crying for Snake River Falls removal, I just never got it as a ride and this is all hypothetical. In my opinion, there is nothing dynamic about it. You go up, you go down. Done. I've often wondered of others' opinions on its merits. Rides like SRF were built in many parks at the time, they all had to have one. I will say its looks add to the atmosphere and is entertaining to watch. I appreciate and enjoy Thunder Canyon and White Water Landing much more. I've not ridden Shoot the Rapids but that looks more exciting. So, is the one *drop* (not hill) worth it? This ride's concept is not unlike TTD really. Except there is more to TTD in how its executed.

You prefer a more dynamic ride.

For some, one hill, one drop, one big splash is all the thrill they can handle.

To each their own.

Not a ride....but I would LOVE to get rid of anything that gives away those basketballs as prizes! Hate walking down the midway and ~usually~ young guys that cant/wont hold onto them....its a midway at a family amusement park....not a b-ball court!

Wish they would not give as a prize or give them under-inflated so they cant be used until they get home.

I'm sure they are a money maker...but geez- people do get tired of dodging them.

Very insightful. Your words sound almost like the ride itself.
