ThemeParkLover Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 I like the idea of replacing X...they could keep the theme and make something like ice mountain ( I think that's what it's called) at winter wonderland but Maurer sohne and permanent. X is popular but an intense spinner would be much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love a Maurer Spinner to replace X, who wouldn't? But its highly unlikely IMO, and X is fine as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThemeParkLover Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 You're right it's not gonna happen and I can't see anything happening to X in the near future. I would like to see a change but X is classic and it would be awful to see it go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 X won't be around forever although there will be a day and time when the attraction expires. Based on current trends, Thorpe's next big band will be for either the empty island or Loggers site. Once those sites are occupied, Colossus will likely be reaching it's expiry. After that, it may be time for X to make it's way out. Pure speculation though. I actually like X but not on the level of other Thorpe coasters or enclosed ones. Beats Nighthawk though.

I don't think we will be seeing Colossus go anytime soon....I would hate to see it go but in a few years it probably should but for Merlin it's all about money so they'll try to keep it as long as possible and probably do a refurb and market it as a new coaster.

Coaster Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Regarding the X discussion, I like it although it does need improvements; mainly to the (extremely tired) queueline rather than the ride itself. Wouldn't surprise me to see it SBNO with the entrance behind a fence in a few years. ThemeParkLover 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
