My favorite cancelled coaster is that insane Morgan hyper coaster that Paramount's Great America almost got in the late 1990s with the elevator lift that could have been themed to the Brady Bunch.
As someone who was in management at SFWoA, I can tell you that the hyper coaster was going to be a Morgan. Once SF sold the park, the plans were redeveloped and then went to SF Mexico (Superman el Último Escape). The coaster station was going to start on the Sea World side (I believe where the Shark Encounter was) and the lift and the “out” would run alongside the back of the park where Raging Wolf Bobs was and the turn around would’ve been over Grizzly Run (Intamin Rapids). The “back” was slated to have some “surprises” along the return. The coaster was already paid for and would’ve had some sort of effect I’m sure.
Nice video! If ever you plan to do a part two, why not include the proposed wooden coaster that would've gone to Alton Towers in the mid 2000s. The coaster would dive down into a valley, feature two lift hills and two 200+ ft drops
Was about to comment about this coaster. Would have been incredible and at the time I think the tallest wooden coaster? IIRC it was denied planning permission because the construction would require cutting down too many trees in the valley that it would have crossed
Pretty sure it was a topper, and another issue I heard of was the ground in the ravine being too unstable to build on. It really sucks we didn't get it, I'd trade curtain for Lightning Rod 2 any day.
As weird as this sounds, I'm glad CW got a Vekoma invert instead of a B&M one. One reason why B&M decided to break the 300 foot barrier with Leviathan was because Walter Bolliger felt like making it up to the park for the cancelled invert. If the invert from them was built, we probably wouldn't have Leviathan today.
@@NorCalCoasterMedia from Wikipedia: "In the early planning stages of Leviathan, had Bolliger & Mabillard declined to make a roller coaster over 91.5 metres (300 ft), the park would have gotten another manufacturer to design the roller coaster."
I've always wondered what Schwarzkoph's suspended idea for Busch Gardens Williamsburg would have looked like. Big Bad Wolf was the obvious winner but a Schwarzkoph would have been interesting.
Off the top of my head: Hersheypark’s Turbulence is one that got cancelled after the original announcement. SFFT had a Zierer family coaster that was cancelled and ended up in another park, after sitting in storage. Flight of Fear at King’s Dominion was originally going to close to move to Carowinds, and be built outside with an MTV theme (and on-board audio?) at one point, before Cedar Fair bought the chain. CGA was supposed to get an Arrow Virginia Reel in the 80's, and was prototyped but never went further than that.
I wonder if the Raptor earmarked for Kentucky Kingdom is the one that's going to Silverwood this year. Also, Michigan's Adventure was rumored to be getting a Morgan hyper before Cedar Fair bought that park in 2001
What about the coaster that was supposed to come to Cedar Point with the name of Banshee, having the logo of Steel Force at Dorney Park? And what about the coaster themed to “Monsters, Inc” that was rumored to come to Disney Hollywood Studios (themed to the doors section - that would have been a great suspended coaster)!
The Skyplex Polercoaster in Orlando, the planned flying coaster for Tripsdrill Germany, the Vekoma Tilt coaster for Energylandia (might still get built 🤔), the Stratosphere Tower fish hook coaster
I know that WNY Coasters would say no to & by not seeing a B&M Inverted coaster to my home park Canada's Wonderland anytime soon, but i know my opinion would make sense that i hope if Flight Deck & Time Warp removes in the next 5-10 years from now, that's my hope to see a B&M inverted at my home park
Great video! I heard the B&M invert for Canada’s Wonderland was supposed to be similar to flight deck at CGA and be located where Psyclone and Sledge Hammer stand today.
Not sure if you knew but SFMM was actually planned to get an Intamin Prefab. There was a ride layout made so the project was pretty far along, but when the stock crash occurred in 2008-09, the ride was canceled.
It's too bad Paramount didn't go with Giovanola, known for Anaconda at Gold Reef City as far as inverts go, to build Top Gun. THAT would have made for a good ride (and I've heard from people who have ridden Anaconda that it's better than B&M inverts with similar stats. Thinking what could have been (and would likely be better than Youkon Striker) depresses me knowing that we got stuck with an SLC)
I was actually going to mention the cancelled GCI at Morey's Piers if you didn't talk about it in the video. I remember seeing that thing years before I became an enthusiast and it looked amazing! Loved the suspension bridge and it would've been entertaining to watch as you walked down the boardwalk. Shame that it was never built, but the retrack on The Great Nor'Easter was definitely needed making it the smoothest SLC ever! I heard they also put new trains with vest restraints on Sea Serpent :)
AYYY (But srsly i have a whole series like this on my channel called "What Could've Been" Where i go in depth on specific canalled or rumored/speculated coasters which were never built)
My home park is Kentucky Kingdom and, though sad to see the old owner's gone (they really did seem to care about the park with all the additions they added), at least Herschend Family Entertainment seems respectable. I did like Dollywood when I went. Edit: Just for clarity, Dollywood is also owned by Herschend.
I don’t think the hyper would’ve saved Geauga Lake at all considered Six Flags expanding the park too quickly is what caused its downfall in the first place
I heard from somewhere idk if it’s true but the geauga lake hyper coaster was going to be a ride of steel clone. Also for part two idk how much research but before steel curtain was announced I’m pretty sure kennywood had plans for a ground up rmc but those plans were leaked so they scrapped them
There was an Universal Park planed for Germany. With one Big launch coaster I guess. This would be a coaster for this list. (Sorry for the bad english I'm from Germany)
But they lost both FireHawk and Vortex, so they deserved it, personally I hope for an RMC conversion of Grizzly, then a hyper, it would likely be better than Joker.
@@amusementscape Ohhh so like SFGA and SFA! I went to those parks last week and I took your advice for SFGA. It was a bit crowded on opening day but Sunday had rain so it scared most of the crowd away. After about an hour the rain stopped and we had the whole park to ourselves. 7 rides on Ka, 12 on Nitro, a few on Superman and Bizarro.. everything was just a walk on! Unfortunately Toro was closed the whole weekend so yeah. I love this video and you should make this a series!
The uk would have had a 200ft drop wooden coaster in Alton towers, a 200ft 9 inversion coaster above water and odyssey is a banshee sized slc that was gonna be 260ft tall if locals didn’t complain
If you want a crazy coaster that never happened, how about that hyper that was supposed to go to Southend Pier in England? You heard that right, a boardwalk park with a hyper! Easily one of the craziest proposals I've ever heard of!
You probably don’t know but heide park was about to shit on fury years before it was ever built and all the US and make a 400 foot coaster with a LIFT HILL coaster but was canceled for desert race
@@amusementscape I know CP had a b and m floorless planned that ended up becoming Maverick. I bet if they had built that Mantis would be torn down and we'd have a new coaster in that spot by now.
Still disappointed that Flight Deck is my home invert. For some reasons, my friends and family like it so, there's the line for you (they also haven't experienced any other inverts).
@@amusementscape I will never debate that statement especially after riding Montu last year (please note everything was still functioning normally at that point, we flew home on Jan 15).
Another one: Toverland's Water Coaster Poseidon, expending the Greek theme estabilished by Troy. There isn't muxh known about it, the most notible is this concept art for the expended area: www.pretparken.be/dynamic_pics/thumb_5ae9547f401038e7e1bcb4385044efb1_640_480_1.jpg It's not possible anymore though, since the new entrance area is in it's place...
Busch Garden Williamsburg did asked B&M talked about sit down looping for 1992 but cancelled. BGW must switch to Arrow Custom Looping that why went wrong mess up with people not like and not match with park.
Because Busch Gardens Tampa was first contact with B&M in 1991 plan for 1993 B&M sit down looping B&M very busy BGW was stuck shit but should wait save land delay to 1994 or 1995.

Surprised you didn't mention what would have been the world's tallest coaster at The Stratosphere in Las Vegas.
Yeah I left that one out because Airtime Thrills did a great video on it. Next time I’ll definitely include it!
Or the Heide Park Intamin Strata(Mega) Coaster planned for either 2002 or 2003
I'm fairly sure Airtime Thrills talked about that one as well
I came here thinking that was gonna be here
We need to BUILD VEKOMA HYPER HYPE
That picture of the GCI Wooden Coaster at Morey’s Piers looked so cool
Ikkkkk
My favorite cancelled coaster is that insane Morgan hyper coaster that Paramount's Great America almost got in the late 1990s with the elevator lift that could have been themed to the Brady Bunch.

Ummmm.... Six Flags sold the park in 2004, While as Construction for the DH Morgan in Mexico started construction in 2001/2002.
Interesting!!! Good to hear this kind of first hand information!
@Rollercoaster Rider the coaster was well past the planing stages. There was a footer already laid on the Sea World side.
That Lake Monster one still hurts I remember being so excited and I just want something to be proud of at Darien Lake
Yeah that was tough
I miss a mention of the HeidePark Gigacoaster, that was planned long time ago, before Merlin has overtaken the park
There was also Michigan's Adventure hyper coaster that was cancelled after Cedar Fair bought the park.
Nice video! If ever you plan to do a part two, why not include the proposed wooden coaster that would've gone to Alton Towers in the mid 2000s. The coaster would dive down into a valley, feature two lift hills and two 200+ ft drops
Definitely something I’d look into!
Was about to comment about this coaster. Would have been incredible and at the time I think the tallest wooden coaster? IIRC it was denied planning permission because the construction would require cutting down too many trees in the valley that it would have crossed
Kennywood's original Log Jammer replacement, an RMC Hybrid got cancelled because the proposal crossed into Duquense city limits.
Wow! Really interesting
Pretty sure it was a topper, and another issue I heard of was the ground in the ravine being too unstable to build on. It really sucks we didn't get it, I'd trade curtain for Lightning Rod 2 any day.
There's also Whiskey Pete's woodie, which would've been the world's longest, and Heide Park's Giga, the ill-fated follow up to Colossos.

Maybe. That’s an interesting thought!
Bro, it's not up to B&M, it's up to the park to decide what model they want
@@NorCalCoasterMedia the park wanted a giga. Had B&M decided not to go through with it, CW would have chosen a different company.
@@noahjoffe1069 The giga is just a supersized hyper model. B&M would not have turned down it.
@@NorCalCoasterMedia from Wikipedia:
"In the early planning stages of Leviathan, had Bolliger & Mabillard declined to make a roller coaster over 91.5 metres (300 ft), the park would have gotten another manufacturer to design the roller coaster."

Yeah that would’ve been very interesting!
I'm shocked neither the Heide Park Terra nor the Stratosphere coaster made the list.
Yeah I opted to not included those this time around
CW not getting a B&M invert is the reason why they were the first park to get a B&M Giga.

I remember hearing that Flight of Fear was SBNO for a month or so in 2006 and was rumored to be removed from the park.
Part 2 please!
Can’t believe no one in the comments mentioned the CFA elevator Morgan hyper or giovanola tilt
Funny you say that because I have a full video on the CGA’s Morgan Hyper Monday!
@@amusementscape nice
If the Togo coaster was proposed in the late 90s, it probably got scrapped after the issues Knotts had with Windjammer Surf Racer's.
Good point!
I love seeing roller coasters in concept art pictures
I wonder if the Raptor earmarked for Kentucky Kingdom is the one that's going to Silverwood this year. Also, Michigan's Adventure was rumored to be getting a Morgan hyper before Cedar Fair bought that park in 2001
Yeah that’s an interesting thought
The raptor at silver wood is it. They mentioned it at King Louie walk threw earlier this year
What about the coaster that was supposed to come to Cedar Point with the name of Banshee, having the logo of Steel Force at Dorney Park?

That would be cool!
@@amusementscape Thank You for that
Hey love your channel, Im a coaster nerd my homepark is darien lake. I actually saw you there once
Cool! You’ve should’ve said hi!
apparently the physical raptor that was supposed to be built at KK is what became stunt pilot at silverwood according to KK management
I heard about that!!!
The MiA Morgan hyper would be a cool idea to discuss for Pt. 2, if you choose to make one!
Definitely!
Great video! I heard the B&M invert for Canada’s Wonderland was supposed to be similar to flight deck at CGA and be located where Psyclone and Sledge Hammer stand today.
Thanks!!! Thanks for the info too!
Some irony in Cedar Fair's B&M exclusivity deal sorta screwing them out of a B&M invert at a park they currently own.
Yup
One more: John Wardley's cross-valley terrain woodie for Alton Towers, which would have crapped all over Wicker Man.
I didn’t even know about the Morey’s pier GCI
Yeah it was kinda low key from what I can remember
The cross valley woodie at Alton Towers that was planned to go across the gardens. As fun as Wicker Man is, I would have much preferred this.
What parks will you be visiting in 2021? Also I want to see a part 2!
I’ll be discussing that at a later date when things are more set in stone!!!
Ya know most theme parks in Queensland Australia
How about the Valley Coaster at Alton Towers, UK? Concept and design by John Wardley I believe.
Awesome video!!🎶🎶😁🤘 You forgot to mention Titan Track Predator as well🤣😂🤣. 2 cancelled coasters in 1!!😂🤣😂 Time to bulldoze that thing. Seriously.
Haha 😂. We’ll see what goes down. But yeah let’s bulldoze it
Not sure if you knew but SFMM was actually planned to get an Intamin Prefab. There was a ride layout made so the project was pretty far along, but when the stock crash occurred in 2008-09, the ride was canceled.

It did look awesome! I do think that the park has done some great things though!
Could you do the cancelled B&M hyper that would've been in Skyrush's space at Hersheypark? I'd like to see what they were thinking with that one!
Definitely something I can look into!
It was actually a Mack
AYYY
(But srsly i have a whole series like this on my channel called "What Could've Been" Where i go in depth on specific canalled or rumored/speculated coasters which were never built)
About KKs raptor, if you haven't heard yet, the raptor was sold to Silverwood and is now being built as "Stunt Pilot"
Yup I’ve heard!
Just didn’t know they were the same one
Canada's Wonderland's B&M invert still makes me sad
Nice rare list! I just subbed! Part 2 please! 😁
Thank you!
Why doesn’t anyone include thre mr freeze clone at great America
There already was a video made on it and I’ll be hoping to cover it later on
Heide Park Giga is also mentionable.
Yes
Surprised by turbulence @ Hersheypark not on here
you cant forget about the Terra Coaster from Intamin that was suposed to come to Heide Park in Germany
Yup
10:08 I think Windjammer at Knott's made Six Flags cancel the idea.
That would make sense!
Kennywoos's B&M Vertical Coaster missing on this list
I would've included magic mountains canceled intamin prefab wooden coaster. You should include it if you make a part 2.
My home park is Kentucky Kingdom and, though sad to see the old owner's gone (they really did seem to care about the park with all the additions they added), at least Herschend Family Entertainment seems respectable. I did like Dollywood when I went.
Edit: Just for clarity, Dollywood is also owned by Herschend.
The lake monster at Darien is sort of happening for 2021 as they are putting gci titan track on as we speak.
That project is on hold as far as I know
I don’t think the hyper would’ve saved Geauga Lake at all considered Six Flags expanding the park too quickly is what caused its downfall in the first place

It’s ok I was able to understand! Thanks for the information!
How many Six Flags Roller Coasters that have been planned but never happened
I would rather CGA of gotten the Hyper instead of Orion for KI. CGA needs a hyper more than KI needed a giga
But they lost both FireHawk and Vortex, so they deserved it, personally I hope for an RMC conversion of Grizzly, then a hyper, it would likely be better than Joker.
I agree tbh!
I was shock about most of them
Please make a part 2
You got it!
The Kentucky Kingdom raptor is Stunt Pilot at Silverwood.
Our B&M Invert would have been so good smh
Yessir
Yes, bring on a Part 2!

Six flags St. Louis B&M hyper that got canceled for American thunder

Yeah 9 inversions too
Alton Towers original secret weapons
python 2.0 in the Efteling would have been incredible (for its time)
The hyper coaster for Geuaga Lake definitely wouldn't have helped. The rapid expansion of the park is what killed the park in the first place.
Some of these were very interesting
💯

@@amusementscape yeah for Geauga Lake

Elaborate
Busch Garden Williamsburg did asked B&M talked about sit down looping for 1992 but cancelled. BGW must switch to Arrow Custom Looping that why went wrong mess up with people not like and not match with park.
