I would like to see ripsaw go because it is gone way past its lifespan and there are far better flat rides out there that could replace it, preferably a thrill flat

Air

I think having Th13teen and Sonic Spinball is enough for junior coasters. Air is just worthless now, its an interesting position to ride a coaster for anyone's first time, but the ride offers very little, I would even rate Th13teen as more thrilling than Air, it should go soon imo.

Maybe Enterprise. It's just been there ages and it isn't really exciting, I think they should just remove it and put in two new flats into X-Sector.

What! No way! I personally have a soft spot for Air. I would personally like to see Haunted Hollow gone. I know its not classed as a ride, but it is supposedly an attraction that has little affect. When ever i walk down it, i never see anyone actually taking the time to listen or look at the things.

Enterpise is past its time now, i remember riding it for my first time a few years ago and even though it was my first time i didn't really see the point. I suppose its good for younger kids who want to try out bigger rides but for someone who knows what to expect it really isn't that great.

I wouldn't exactly mind if The Flume went, but at the same time I could see it being great again with a retheme.

Also, Rita I wouldn't mind going, but its a fun ride and just needs a retheme.

Rita and Air. Rita is just dull and boring (unless you are in the very back row on a good day), and Air is boring unless you are in the back, where it verges on being average.
In my opinion of course!

I want to see ripsaw go. To the X-sector !! :lol
But seriously, the flume, to make way for the worlds first inverting log flume ;)

Ripsaw removed and replaced with a new model that is floorless. Plus replaced so those facing backwards aren't at a disadvantage of having nothing to look at.

Most of CCL needs an update now and all but Twirling Toadstool should be sold off and replaced - IMO CCL should have become Cebeebies Land as Old McDonald's farm was a stronger and better executed theme.
Enterprise could be relocated and a new flat placed there and also the Blade moved to MB.
The Flume replaced with a good spinning coaster after Sonic leaves (If it leaves)
then lots more flats in most areas of the park.

Ripsaw doesn't have a backwards section though...?

No but the new models do. The could get the exact same model again, however I think that the floorless would be better.

Point taken. I doubt Merlin would go for another though

A new flume would be good especially a themed one I think.

What! No way. I think Nemesis sub terra is a good enough, not fantastic by any means but still good enough.Plus it is too new to take away. I agree about Duel for the most part though :yes: . But we all have our likes and dislikes and if they are yours thats fine. Dont you think that rides like ripsaw or The Flume should go before these because Ripsaw and the flume are, in my opinion, in need of a dire revamp or a replacement?

:no: RMT is a classic and is generally the first step for any young thrill seeker-to-be.

If it was up to me I would remove Enterprise and replace it with a brand new flat.
