Only a full restoration / rebuild of the Mindbender would suffice. *Nothing* can replace the Mindbender. The 1980s were a time of engineering for maximum thrill, without being throttled back by lawyers. Same reason, there could never be another _Action Park,_ which was the product of the same era, accepting that there is risk in thrill seeking, and some patrons are going to get hurt, go to the hospital, or possibly die. I rode the Mindbender annually from 1987, shortly after it reopened, until 2019, including backwards on the blue train (which is an insane experience). Never got hurt. This is an excellent rollercoaster, and is very well preserved in essentially a museum environment without rain, snow, extremes of temperature or sea air. This is a monumental loss for West Edmonton Mall to lose this major attraction that was known around the world for the incredible postive Gs.

I will be pissed if a handful of boring flat rides takes Mindbender’s place.

Nothing can match the intensity of mind bender😢

it's probably gonna be some boring family rides

I hope they go big for the replacement ride as well!

bro i never got to ride it. because i was too short and it was closed anyways 😥

if they replace the mindbender with some shitty ride for little kids, should i go to canada's wonderland and ride the leviathan, behemoth, yukon striker, etc.?

i remember always seeing it by i was too short too ride and now i can but its closed 😭

Never got to experience the mind bender or drop of doom 😔

I have a friend, who's dad has worked in the higher administrative part of galaxyland for years. After having success with the orbiter made by Gerstlauer, it's a very very high possibility we will see new Gerstlauer coaster like the one put in the american dream mall, hint hint ;).
