If 4 major rides are closed I'm not gonna go just to ride a gyro swing 🤷‍♂️

what if it had a turnstile?

But no, just no. another pendulum type attraction is definitely not needed - IDGAF how much capacity it has.

The turnstile pretty useful at Djurs Sommerland. Loading was much quicker than the one at Tusenfryd - which didn’t even pre-count the cycle before loading.

But really? do we want MW to build this and then that's our 'new' thrill ride for 3 or 4 years?

Definitely not. It would be stupid to have a ride that’s all round the country as the only “thrill” ride we get from MW this decade. But tbh I don’t think it would even be up for consideration anytime soon.

I would go a gyro at MW, any day of the week, over MW's Suspended Twin Hammer.

I would never consider going on a twin hammer.

Sure, but we already have the Twin Hammer now. If they put the gyro in instead of the Twin Hammer it makes sense, but not to replace the Twin Hammer. 

No one suggested that

Sorry,  I just took the opportunity to hang shit on the ride.  DD & MC are my go-tos.

How long do Flats normally last? DD is 6 years now.

 

Edit: Also how many Twin Hammers are there globally? Intamins site only lists 2, MW and one in Malaysia.

Wipeout lasted 25 years.

The Claw is 18 years old now.

 Depends how nostalgic the GP are for the ride, but I don't think anyone would think of Doomsdays as that family memory maker.

The old Huss rides at Luna Park lasted for 30 years (and 25 for flying saucer). Ex DW stingray lasted for 35. Ex SW pirate ship has clocked close to 40 years. Black Widow and Rampage are each over 20 years old and are still going. They can last if parks want it to but obviously costs are going to be prohibitive at some point as parts get harder to come by (see wipeout). Fwiw our parks do well at this, wipeout was lucky to run for as long as it did when so many of the other installs couldn’t even get half the mileage.

The Malaysia install closed after it ran for about 10 years so who knows how long Doomsday has left. I’d say it will either get rethemed to fit the Wild West area or removed in a few years time though.

The Huss ranger was so old that it was made in West Germany
