we had a kiddie coaster back in the day, it was over in the area where American Thunder now resides. the kiddie section we have now is Bugs Bunny National forest, and its a huge climb around type attraction. there are also several kiddie rides in the surrounding area but the coaster never got moved when the rest of the kid section did I believe it started out as the rock candy express when the area was called "Goodtime Hollow" then it was changed to "ACME Gravity Powered Coaster when the area became "Loony Toons town"

Perhaps (in the spirit of the seemingly re-vitalized ride-rotation program) SFGAm can help solve the kiddie coaster deficiency by providing one of theirs. S:UF would be a great fit in Freeze's current location.
"Next, we are going to solicit the children of strangers so that we can go on a ride designed for children. This is so I can post online and impress other people who are very good at procuring unfamiliar children in order to go on rides designed for children, and thus have a higher arbitrary number than me."

I will provide you with maximum pleasure.

I hope you're not suggesting that the park should replace Mr. Freeze with S:UF*. Freeze is easily the superior (or at least, less boring) coaster.

*I'm assuming you're talking about the B&M flyer clone?

^^I see what you did there.

But let's keep the Freezes where they are and just build more if anyone else wants them! :p

^^^ Hahaha that took me a minute.

Man, you would think SF would have given that Vekoma Roller Skater to SFStL instead of SFMM, which already has two kiddie coasters. But of course that wouldn't help their attempts at keeping SFMM's coaster count atop the list.

the only coaster I would love to see leave our park is Ninja, its got the lowest ridership of all the coasters in the park and its just plain old and tired, even the workers running the ride make snide comments about the coaster, how its the most boring coaster in the park, etc...

we can't afford to lose ANY coasters to make room for another coaster, besides there are other areas in the park to build a coaster still available. give up the Dragons wing that would be an awesome place for a coaster, intertwine it with the Boss like Goliath is with Colossus.

there is a huge area of land that runs from back by the tidal wave all along the side of the park where Hurricane Harbor is, yes its loaded with trees but it still is a good large area for a coaster to go. heck I would even go as far to say pull the Log ride, that ride has run it's course at the park, while it still gets riders, the queue house hasn't been packed full with park guests in years and most of the time there is only one of the 2 sides running. The water park takes care of the needs of the guests looking for comfort from the heat, we also have thunder river they can utilize for heat relief. so pulling the log ride could be an option.

I had an idea a few years ago that they Scrap Ninja and replace it with A B&M Wing Walker/ X Like Coaster

What a cool idea you should tell someone at the park that. They might do it.

Id love to see a 4D coaster like X at SFStL, buuut im entirely sure this will never happen :cry: If i remember properly the price of these coasters are outrageous. At this point there are only two of these coasters in the world and even though there is another one being built, I highly doubt we will see these become the new ride to copy like batman was. If it was it would make my year, but I believe i am being realistic with this.

Actually removing Dragon's Wing would free up enough space to expand Britannia, add several flat rides as well as relocate and shorten Boss' queue line. Right now it's the Great Wall of China of queue lines.
