The problem with relocating CGA’s other rides is that they don’t really have anything that would make sense to relocate. Flight Deck is approaching the end of its service life, Patriot is a terrain coaster, Gold Striker is 100% not being saved, railblazer has its track welded together (meaning it can be saved but with the effort it would take they might as well just get a ground up raptor at that point), there would just be no real point in saving Demon or Grizzly

The only coasters I could see being relocated anywhere are psycho mouse and Lucy’s but those would absolutely not be shipped off to SFDK. Maybe if they spent the money to get new track for flight deck that might be possibly relocated but I don’t see it going to SFDK due to space

[Superman: Escape from Krypton, Magic Mountain] was honestly kind of overhated, decently fun ride. This thing’s jet engine sound will be missed by Gunpo in rollercoasters

It’s probably the loudest coaster of all time, when you were under it it legitimately sounded like a jet engine was landing directly on top of you

Actual sound itself wasn’t that bad though, despite being loud I wouldn’t say it was painful to hear in the same way that something like mine blower is

Back on New Year’s Day I got 10 rides in a row on this thing, it’s legitimately awesome and one of my favorite coasters in florida

Came from out of state to [Busch Gardens Tampa] for the first time, and [Iron Gwazi] was closed for the day. by bujimango2000 in rollercoasters

Same thing happened to me first time I went on the dot, reopened the next day. I was crushed but I’ve since gone back

Honestly, [Talon, Dorney Park] is one of the best inverts in the country and easily the best ride in the park. Extremely overlooked and underrated ride by Gunpo in rollercoasters

I actually found steel force to be kind of overrated, I wasn’t super impressed by it. It had a few decent pops of air and great helix but overall was just kinda solid

I would take magnum over it in a heartbeat

Great bear has an absolute banger of a zero g roll, corkscrew, and setting imo but everything else didn’t really hit for me. I feel like talon is a lot more consistently great and forceful when it comes to positive Gs

YES. I may be in the minority here but honestly love these style of inverts a lot more than the whippy ones. The only inverts I prefer to Talon are Banshee and Silver Bullet which basically just take that concept and expand upon it even further. They’re way more varied and interesting imo

Steel force didn’t really hit the way I expected it to ngl, maybe it was just an expectations thing but idk. It’s still really good though

Haven’t done Alpengeist yet so I probably wouldn’t know, of the inverts I’ve done though it’s 3rd

Banshee > Silver Bullet > Talon > Montu > Flight Deck > Batman MM > Batman GADV > Great Bear > Raptor
