I got to thinking today about rides that were built but, for one reason or another, weren't successful.
Examples would be rides such as:
Ring Racer, Vertigo (Belgium), Shoot the Rapids, Pilgrims Plunge, Windjammer, Dollywoods Topple Tower, Son of Beast...
All rides that had a very short lsifespan and represented a large investment by the park.
What happens in situations like this? Do parks just have to write it off and chalk it up to experience? Once the ride is handed over to the park, the manufacturer just walks away and that's it or is there some sort of 'guarantee'?
Are there any other examples I've missed?
Thanks
