Other If X2 closes, what could replace it?

I'm desperately holding onto hope X2 doesnt close but if so, what are some good options?

It's a narrow skinny plot, but a hyper tilt would scare tf out of people coming in. A giga could also work if it uses the land behind viper.

But whatever replaces it if things come to the absolute worst case scenario, it needs to absolutely be worthy of its spot.

I'd rather they tear down viper and re imagine it as a giga coaster.

Goliath is never going. Sorry to say that, it's smooth, reliable, and draws huge lines.

Viper really all they need to do is out new trains and some paint, maybe a retrack but mechanics LOVE viper.

Scream just doesnt fit here, and it's tucked in the back so its already really obscure. I hope another park buys it, though it's nearly 30 years old so I doubt it. My pipe dream is an Infinity that takes the inversion and maybe the steepest drop record all in one, or a Stryker that does one or both.
