Out of the two, I also voted B&M for the points that Yoshi mentioned.

Although very few are around today, I would love to see a suspended coaster, ala Big Bad Wolf, added as a nice family coaster to Great Adventure's coaster line-up.

I'm a sucker for B&M. Yoshi has pretty much made my point as well.

How would somebody build a suspended coaster if arrow is out of business? Unless your thinking that B&M would build one, intresting!

SFOG is my main park and trust me you do not want an euro fighter they're small short and maby worth the wait for the first time!

There's no reason why another coaster company can't produce a ride with a similar design as the swinging suspended cars.

I agree a suspended coaster would be cool. They look like they are really fun rides and it's too bad that Great Adventure didn't get XLR-8 from Astroworld that was being considered.

Vekoma makes basically the same ride as the Arrow suspended coasters so they could just go to them

B&M and Intamin are awesome, but here's three companies (and one coaster from each company) that weren't listed......

Gerstlaur EuroFighter



Zierer Family Launching Coaster



RMC Hybrid Coaster

Your right that would be pretty cool, box track with swinging cars! I bet B&M or Intimin would make a much better model than arrows! ....no affence arow fans. Ive actually ridden a suspended coaster, Iron Dragon at cedar point, it was awesome!!

Really? we were gonna get XLR8... maby that would have replaced Viper instead of El toro man why didnt they save it this is just like the big bad wolf! By the way good idea about going to Vekoma I didnt know thy made that type of train!

[Yoshi]

We were supposed to get it in the early 90's, before Viper was built.

They should have saved XLR-8 (along with Viper from Astroworld) but I guess they thought the rides were too old to be relocated and wouldn't be that popular.

[truepolak90]

Despite the maintance nightmare that chiller was, I'd love to see a new carefully electrical engineered premier replace it. It would definately ice the cake! It sounds like a far fetched dream but how nice would it be for movietown to have that roar! Imagine launching out of Batmans station going into inverted top hat then loop with a diving loop into robins old station stop launch backwards into dive loop then through robins old launch path OVER inverted top hat, hill over loop and brakes (full throttle style and trains) more reliable lims !=D!!! Okay I'm sorry I know I went off topic and ranted but I mean come on!! Chillers revenge? But Intamin would be great too.

[pizzaman10000]

1.4th dimension coaster like X2
2. B&M Wingrider
3. Intamin or B&M Giga coaster
4. B&M dive coaster
5. Intamin Launched coaster (similar to Maverick or Full Throttle)
6. Intamin Hyper Coaster
7.Intamin 10-12 inversion coaster
8. GCI woodie (preferably racing like Lightning Racer)

[Chiller]

I will always go for another wooden coaster, they are the best. If not, I also like premier rides.

[Coasterharrison'98]

Yoshi, for astroworld they spent all the money they had getting serial thriller out of their but sadly I belive that all the other rides would have cost to much to save because they were to old... At least some of the rides like the drop tower and swat were saved Batman the escape is still in storage but no longer owned by six flags though I'm afraid it's going to be scraped.... over all six flags made a bad move in getting rid of astroworld it hurt a whole lot of people in Houston and hurt six flags's rep big time!
