    Very sad to see it go, it was my first rollercoaster do to how low the height requirement was. It's always been hard to ride, whether always shut it down and then maintenance because of the design. It's sad that its probably headed for the scrap pile, it's a very unique coaster. Please get an updated POV for history. Would be nice to see another coaster in its spot, not just more water slides....
    Thanks for letting us know it's closing, at least some of use locals have a chance to ride it one more time before it's gone.

    Rest in peace, Alpine Bobsled. You had a good long life since your start in 1984 at Great Adventure, but now it's time to go to the great amusement park in the sky. Hopefully Bobcat will be a worthy replacement.

    I’m sad for it to close, but it was a fun ride. I actually rid it on the same day I broke my arm 2 years ago. Funny thing is it literally broke down when I was in line, but that caused some people to leave, which helped me get farther in line. Let’s hope Six Flags can make another no-track roller coaster
    Edit: Somehow the ride was operating on Sept 1st, so I went in it a few times. I can’t believe they’re taking down the Alpine Bobsled, it’s a thrill!

    Great Escape, guys, you got rid of a coaster, and it was this and not Steamin' Demon. I know this wasn't reliable, but it was at least good when it worked. Steamin' Demon is a relic of a time when going upside down was a novelty. You could've scrapped that coaster and bought Mindbender. Galaxyland got rid of it and it probably would've fit on Steamin' Demon's footprint.

      Eurofightere aren't all that common. Plus, the park could really use it. I don't see them building something big anytime soon. If they're inject something new into their lack luster thrill selection, it's a good option.

    • @flavortown5124
      @flavortown5124 Před 7 lety +1

      The space is way too small for an RMC. The spot where the nightmare building currently is would be a great spot for an RMC, but again the reason why I suggest Eurofighter is because it's very unlikely that great escape will build anything big anytime soon. Ideally though, the two coaster great escape could really use are an RMC a launched wing coaster.

    • @flavortown5124
      @flavortown5124 Před 7 lety +1
