Corkscrew, with new corkscrews and its old trains. I would place it in the overgrown Coaster Corner area and reopen the Flag Tower to the public. I would probably bring back other rides too like Energizer, 1001 Nights, Dynamo and Thunder Looper, but Corky would be my first choice.

See I would go for Corkscrew as it was, after all, my first "real" rollercoaster. I still remember the absolute thrill I had going on it the first time as a wide-eyed seven-year-old. However, the ride had reached the end of it's life and it was being run on sentimentality rather than efficiency. I think it was a fair decision letting it go. I must say though that I miss Ug Land like a lot of people here, and it was a shame that along with Corkscrew, the area theming had to go too.
If I had to say one, I would go for either Black Hole or Energizer.

Pull thirteen down and get vekoma to strike up the MK1200 factory and churn out a modern day corkscrew. And just hope vekoma take some sort of part exchange for thirteen maybe recycle it or scrap metal.

I would bring back submission. I think it was an amazing ride and should never have been taken down.

For me at the moment, I'd bring back Haunted House. Never got to ride it, but I miss it!
