I think they should take down Kingda Ka, El Toro and Superman and build 50 flat rides!

Welcome to the site Italian!!!
Like Wade said, tread lightly on RT. But feel free to bash on toro and kingda ka as much as you want!

Rolling Thunder is a treasure.  It is one of the very best wooden roller coasters in the country. 

Why anyone would want it taken down, I do not understand.

Welcome, italian124.  What is your favorite ride at SFGAd?  And how would you feel if someone insisted it be taken down?

The park is, after all, changING.

No, keep El toro. That's the only one on Matt's list that doesn't break down every month, and it's not a 54-inch ride.

The only time it "broke down" on me was when it rained opening year and during FFFN when they were adding the second train. So I guess I'm all luck.

Pretty much all Intamins break down for at least a short time on a daily basis it seems.

At least every coaster breaks down at some point during the day for some reason, lol.

I won't deny that, except most older rides seem to run flawlessly more often than not. But Intamins are definitely prone to more frequent maintenance calls. More often than not, it seems it's just a minor computer glitch that they fix in a minute or two and the ride is back up.

So true. I gained a whole new trust for coasters after working Space Mountain. The ride would go down for the silliest things at times, but that's just how hyper-safe they are.

King's Dominions coasters were pretty well run. I don't remember any of their rides breaking down during the day.

It's all about timing. Some go down for as little as 2 minutes, other times...well...we have Kingda Ka to show us that. LOL. If you're not in line...or sometimes in the station, you'd never know. At most, you might notice from the queue that the train dispatched a little slower than normal.
