There are a lot of political "news" channels and biblical prophets who can keep churning out nonsense, be proven completely wrong 100 times over, and their gullible audience of rubes will keep tuning in for more.

So about 5 years ago sixflags put out that they were re doing it

Even though el toro is my favorite roller coaster of all time next to steel vengeance Gonna miss ka man i love this coaster one of my favorites even though it's a short ride man this sucks and knowing it's gonna be gone forever is just gut wrenching

out of interest, where does the 1m+ operation costs come from?

I keep being told that Cedar Fair doesn’t want competition with Cedar Point for years and I try to ignore it but I’m afraid this is what this situation feels like to me. I’m worried for Magic Mountain and Great Adventure I wish this merger never happened. Steel Vengeance and Millennium Force, Maverick has also had issues and are expensive to operate but they won’t touch those at all. I’m really scared Cedar Fair is going to totally ruin the entire hobby for me.

I think it’ll get converted like top thrill 2 there is more evidence leaning towards that. There are three markers behind the launch track that is a triangle formation which is how the spike would be made. Also as far as money goes it would cost way more to remove the ride and build something else rather than converting it. Especially because they would have to build something that could live up to kingda ka which would cost a ton. I think it’ll get converted

Imagine if the park will get an S&S Air Launch the fastest in America

itts closing sadly i was there today went on it one lastg time the employees told me its leaving on sunday and today wand tommorow are the lasty time to get your ride.

KK is being removed.

I really still think it will be extended

Goodbye Kingda Blah!!

Someone in a discord server I am in emailed sfga guest services and asked if ka was closing and the park responded by saying the ride is not closing anytime soon and the rumors are false. I honestly don’t know what to think of this whole situation, all we can do is wait and see I guess

They are not removing itc... they wouldn't make orange markers to cover it up with rumble from taking down a coaster

Sunday November 10, 2024. Probably the last day.

Zumanjaro's sign got removed

If Kingda Ka closes without so much as a word from them I'm never going back to Great Adventure. It's a 6 hour drive from where I live, and I've always wanted to go back since I went the first time in 2019. Toro and Nitro are cool and all, but the main reason I wanted to go back was always Ka. It has always been (and now will always be) my favorite rollercoaster, and the one time I went I was only able to go on it once because my brother didn't want to go on it again. The least they can do is leave the top hat standing. That being said I would still spend a ludicrous amount of money for a brake fin, or even a bolt, if they tear it down. I'm sure many enthusiasts would kill to own a part of Ka if they couldn't ever ride it again.

ISTG if they close this before I ever ride it...

Bro, the .mainstream media lies multiple times per day every day and still have die hard fans.

Conversion coming

Unfortunately, I've heard from multiple operators that the demolition contract is signed. Maintenance has been halted for the past 3 weeks. It really is the end for our green giant. Cedar fair, fuck you.

I don’t wanna think it’ll close but the markers…

It would be really funny if it didn’t close and all these people that are dead set on it closing look silly.

Again tallest fastest! Formula Rosa been down forever, even had its launch removed…🤓🤘

I get that Orion and Millie are both gigas, but I don't think they should really be compared. They had different goals when being built. Cedar Fairs wanted a ride that was tall fast, and they wanted the ride to maintain it's speed for the most part, that's why it has no mid brake run. Orion has all the tricks, and air time but it slows the ride a lot.

the og corkscrew 1980-2008 is better

4:30 none of those parks have the capacity to get a coaster built last minute like this I think the main reason it is going to CP is because they’re one of the only parks who can get it open for 2025, which is likely the goal from corporate SF

there probably won't be a tunnel

I hope they invest heavily in cedar point making taking back the coaster record making cedar point and ohio as a whole as the roller coaster capital of the world. If they ever build a coaster to to rival falcons flight it should go arround the entire park. Also cedar point can add land to the edge of the park to build the station. They could make it interact with other coaster. Run it through the structure of steel vengeance ect.

Glad to see you posting

To me, this is too much of a ride for Valleyfair, Darien Lake, or Michigan's Adventure, but probably not enough of a ride for Cedar Point, KI, Knotts, SFGAdv, SFGADM, SFMM, etc. It probably belongs at a mid tier park. I think they're doing this as an insurance policy so CP has something new to offer next year in the event that TT2 never reopens or even take much longer to get open than they have hinted at.

By vekoma getting their coaster in CP this is huge for their company especially if the public loves it. It is a huge score for vekoma because if loved the coaster world will market it enough that other parks will want one.

i still believe it shoulda been at la ronde, but just happy its coming

It's not so much an apology for TT2 as much as it's insurance against the ride not being ready next year. They need *something* for next year in case TT2 is still having issues.

I'm hoping we next .god it's only been 20 years...I originally wanted a invert for us...but after going on Dr dobical I was blown away... something like that but longer will kill at VF . period 💯💯🎤🎤or a vekoma stc....just like the new one that opened up...either one will work..and do wonder's at VF . hashtag vf new coaster for 26...💯💯👌👌

Thank you for the video. Overall I completely agree with all the points. Interesting on the infrastructure at Valleyfair as I was not aware of. In terms of Darien Lake, this park has so many questions marks, it will be interesting to see what happens with this property (given that the company doesn't own it, they manage it). My biggest question with DL is will the owning company provide a big enough budget to even allow the company to bring the park up to their standards. Time will tell. I can say on my last visit (2nd week in AUG this year) the park was in pretty rough shape given just how it used to look 10 years ago (just my thoughts).

It’s beyond ridiculous at this point. They need to fix some of their older coasters instead of just adding a new one seemingly every year. Many of their older ones are simply too rough to enjoy any longer. Kings Island needs a new coaster much more than yet another one at CP. CP also needs to really work on and put money into its water park as it’s the worst we’ve ever been at. CP is like the rich kid in high school whose parents give him a new car every year whole the other students get used Toyotas.

I'm hugely in the Give MA something camp, but i don't think a first-in-north-america type of ride is what anyone in corporate would add there. Got an extra B&M or other common model, sure (comments aside of how a b&m for MA was cancelled) but not this specific ride.

Hopefully tt2 and this don’t have major mechanical issues to start the season. Double bust would be extra sad times.

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN KINGS ISLAND 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

This coaster should have gone to six flags great adventure, that park has two of the best coasters ever, that park doesn’t have a super lot of stuff, I know about the flash coaster, but it’s always oddballs that get sent there

The TT2 reparation is TT2 2025, i dont subscribe to the theory either. Its honestly a bit naive.

I was already planning a trip to Cedar Point next year. This announcement has made me even more excited to go!

Siren's Curse look like it will be fun.

Wait the intro was fire, I stayed to watch the rest of the vid after, good work 🙏🙏

IMO it seems like a small thrill coaster for such a big park. And while it looks great, it doesn’t quite match up with all huge coasters. It does indeed seem like it was designed for a smaller park.

Meanwhile, small independent parks continue to invest in themselves ie Adventureland, Lost Island. Meanwhile, the giant Six Flags (Cedar Fair) parks, who don’t need the new coasters, drain all the resources so their small parks, who need it most, shrivel up and die…a slow death.

This announcement is the thoosie equivalent of Nikocado Avocado’s “2 Steps Ahead” video. Thanks for giving your insight and information, it’s great that you’re able to share knowledge on this that not many have learned yet.

Since we live 1.5 hrs from Cedar Point, bought seasons passes for 2025 already, and have a thrill-loving daughter that should be just over the 48" mark next summer, I'm going to say that it ended up at the perfect park! 🙂

Well, because they screwed up the last one.

People are saying it’s not a good addition, which I think is a very dumb statement, why wouldn’t you want a new coaster? I think the US needed a tilt coaster and it will be something different to try out.
