Most exspensive ride in the world?

[Marcus]

I was wondering whilst on the bus what is the most exspensive ride/attraction ever made. Including the theming etc..

Inflation tends to mean that it's always a fairly recent ride.

I know Radiator Springs in Disney's California Adventure cost $200mill which seems a bit much considering it reuses Test Track tech but it may also include the flat rides they built with it.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is another $200mill one but that almost certainly covers the theming of the entire area (including shops)

Interesting topic!! I had a look at some of the more obvious expensive rides-

Transformers- $100 million
Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey- $100 million
Jurassic Park- $110 million
Mission to Mars- estimated at $120 million

I do wonder how much the new ride in the London area of Universal will cost once built, it looks like it'll be huge!

Anyone know the most expensive in the UK?

Think it might be the Odyssey at fantasy island-that way £30 million I think

[sweedish2009]

Really? Jesus, doesn't say much about the UK's portfolio of rides! Whats second on the list, Squirrel Nutty?

Technically, wouldn't it be the new cable car in London? £64 million

I thought Expedition Everest was also an expensive ride to build including all the theming, but not exactly sure how much it was

[Rollermad]

What about the London Eye?

[Marcus]

Bloody hell £200 million pound for Harry Potter area!!!! Wow I swear universal and disneyland have unlimited budget! They must be so rich.

Hardly call the cables cars a ride it's more like a form of transport

[Boz]

still technically an attraction 

[spark]

But the question posed was ride?!? Lol but I know where your coming from

Bloody hell £200 million pound for Harry Potter area!!!! Wow I swear universal and disneyland have unlimited budget! They must be so rich.

I think you will probably find that it is 200 million dollars - about £125 million in todays money......still a lot!

I thought Expedition Everest was also an expensive ride to build including all the theming, but not exactly sure how much it was

I know it was around $100M which I think was just the ride itself and all the theming around it as the rest of Asia area of the park had been there since 1999. I think it was also in the Guinness World Records in 2011 as the most expensive rollercoaster in the world aswell.

Most expensive:

Ride: HPatFJ- $200 million

Coaster: Expedition Everest- $100 million

Simple

I thought it was gonna be Amazing Adventures Of Spiderman but that was actually just over $100 million.
You know, only
