Let’s get this statement out of the way. I don’t think anything will truly “replace” Volcano for me. It was the best ride at Kings Dominion for a long time before I305 went up in my opinion with its unique premise and how fun it was.
Alright so about that replacement idea:
Me personally I would love a more intense version of Copperhead Strike. I have yet to ride it but it looks very fun and enjoyable and with KD now having only 2 launch coasters in their two premier clones I would love a new more unique launch coaster. I don’t see Cedar Fair going that route with how expensive Copperhead Strike was at $54 million (think I saw this figure a few times) and I don’t currently know how successful it was in its first season at cedar fairs beloved Carowinds (yes I’m still bitter we got Coconut Shores while they got an awesome mat racer for this year don’t judge me).
As for what I expect to replace it, a B&M Wing Coaster. I say that because it was already being considered. I don’t see much of the rest of B&Ms catalogue being considered with a hyper, dive, and invert close by. Flying coaster? I would love love love that idea but I doubt Cedar Fair builds one. Based off the evidence we have currently have and Cedar Fairs track record now with B&M I feel like a B&M Wing Coaster is the front runner.
Anyone else want to chime in for their ideal realistic Volcano replacement and prediction for what will replace it?
