That has got to be every goon’s secret ambition now! Forget a roll back on KingdaThrill!!!This is properly mad.

Sadness. The US (mostly the North East) had a ton of these... and now they're all gone. The one at York's was one of my very first coasters too!
Looking at it realistically, with a Google Earth look at the coaster's site, there's not much coaster wise to replace it with. I think that if it was a coaster, you'd have to take out the buildings either side of it and even then you would probably only have either a Premier Sky Rocket II or a S&S 4D Free Spin Coaster. Non coaster wise, they don't have a frisbee type ride, so maybe even an Intamin Gyro Swing or Discovery Revolution by Zamperla would be a thrilling replacement because they are cramped for space.

I'll cherish the childhood memories I had on it but the thing felt like it was falling apart last I rode it in July so its time is probably due.
They have a new for 2020 KMG Freak Out down the same pathway. A Frisbee-type ride would be way too similar, I'd think.
Yh that's true. Maybe a Zamperla Endeavour would be a good family thrill ride. Personally though I hope for a 4D Free Spin or a Skyrocket II. That LSM Vertical Launch Coaster concept from Intamin would be good too and that S&S LSM Triple Launch Coaster like Galeforce as well.
The thing with Bakken is that the problem with building a coaster of even that size isn't just limited space (FTR a SRII or a 4D Free Spin would require them gutting multiple restaurants on either side of Racing just to fit either of them in), but also noise restrictions. The park tried to get planning permission to build a Kanonen-style Intamin back in the mid-2000s and faced serious pushback, and that's with said permit including a sound wall that covered at least half the coaster's height. I don't think a nearly twice as tall Sky Rocket II would ever fly with the locals.
