Coasters you would love to ride but probably never will…

Falcons Flight - Purely for the absurdity of it but I can’t imagine a scenario where I ever find myself in Saudi Arabia and I doubt the ride will exist very long.

Tron - This looks so so cool. I go to the US a lot for work but never close to Orlando (or China) so would be a major deviation. But mostly because it looks like my sons dream ride and it would be too sad to go without him.

Formula Rossa - Just for that launch. Doesn’t seem like it’s long for this world.
 
X-2 and Eeejanaika both look like absolutely insane experiences.

Tatsu would be probably be a bucket list coaster as it’s pretzel loop looks ridiculous, and Intimdator 305 (or whatever it’s going to be called next year) due to it’s reputation for being an extremely intense greyout machine.

DC Rivals looks superb but Australia is a hell of a long (and expensive) way away.

Truth be told as much as I enjoy travelling around Europe and visiting parks I don’t think I have much enthusiasm for visiting America for a coaster trip when we have so many fantastic coasters right here in Europe that are easier and much more affordable to visit. I’m much more interested in visiting Parque Warner Madrid to ride Batman GCE for example than going to Florida to ride Velocicoaster even though I acknowledge that’s the one of the best coasters in the world.

I don't see any of the US coasters as out of reach, though it's going to be a few years before my earnings allow me to do a major US trip more than about once every six years. For my first big trip I'm torn between East Coast parks (incl. things like Cedar Point) and the Orlando parks. One is going to have to give. For now I'm happy ticking off a lot of the great parks in Europe I still haven't done. We don't necessarily have many coasters on quite the same scale as the US but by all accounts parks are generally better themed and more enjoyable places to visit (NOT YOU Merlin).

Very unlikely to bother going to all the way to Australia to ride coasters - a trip of that magnitude would more likely focus around New Zealand and natural sites.

I'm almost certainly never ever going to go to China, mainly for dietary reasons, so anything over there feels very out of reach. And UAE and Saudi Arabia are extremely low on my priority list - aside from the human rights issues I'd just rather go somewhere a bit less dusty!
 
The Bobs at Belle Vue.
Tale told many times.
The ride was discussed on the juniors playground at primary school.
David Kitchen rode it at the weekend, showed off on Monday.

I was promised a ride next season as my sister was at college close by.
It had closed down and been demolished by the time I got there, so I could only do the Scenic, 5p a ride, 2.5p a reride, though the sign still said sixpence.

Curse you David.
At least I had a misspent youth on the Reel.
 
DC Rivals is the main one as I'll probably never make it over to Australia.

Doubt I'll go to China either due to the costs and faff. So Dinoconda, Python in Bamboo Forest, Soaring with Dragon etc.

Also T Express in South Korea.
 
Kingda Ka, TTD (original form)

Other hydraulic launch coasters such as storm runner I probably won't ever get to ride.

Wish I got to experience duelling dragons. Not that they were world class but they were so iconic.

Current rides:
- Falcon's Flight (I'm one of the minorities that saudi law discrimate against)
- Eejanaika (not impossible but highly unlikely, but I would love to go to japan so maybe one day)
 
Knowing my luck, frankly anything outside Western Europe is not accessible to me for various reasons.
