Professor Screamore's Skywinder roller coaster at Six Flags America, Upper Marlboro, MD

While none of Vekoma's SLC coasters will ever be smooth as inverted coasters by B&M or Intamin with the vest restraints this coaster might be the best of the bunch.

Unfortunately I have some serious doubts if a thirty year old steel Vekoma SLC is going to be saved once Six Flags America's doors close for good.

Fortunately some other park in the chain will get a mostly new train to improve their aging ride.

Speaking of aging rides Shipwreck was added to Wild World in 1993. 

Bond and Travis were in the mood to get soaked from head to toe so they took this classic Shoot the Chutes for a ride.

Shoot the Chutes rides date back to the early 1900's at parks like Chicago's Riverview Park.
