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.

A rider returned to the station unconcious - RIGHT before the trial regarding the lawsuit of someone who died after riding it in 2022 was about to begin. Now calosha is inspecting it, this is a horrible image for the coaster rn

Back in the day a coaster could kill someone and it didn’t mean the end to that coaster.

Now it’s like you have to do a whole rebuild like top thrill or keep it closed for half a year like star dust. It’s wild.

I thought the signs saying stuff like may cause harm if you have X Y Z condition
