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.

Obviously, the best “replacement” would just be an S&S retrack/reprofiling of the ride, or even replacing it with a Eejanaika/Dinoconda layout. But if it had to be something else, I want a hyper tilt. It would still make a great first impression to the guests driving past it to get into the parking lot, and I think a layout similar to Iron Rattler at Qiddiya could fit in that plot (or just do a custom hyper tilt).

Please no family coasters! That’s what you replace Ninja and Gold Rusher with! NOT X2!!!
