Some notes: 1. Anaconda was a major reason I was planning a trip to Kings Dominion for the first time since 1994 or 95 (I was only 10 or 11 and not used to coasters then). Now I don't plan to go this year, and I heard about it's removal on Christmas Day. 2. For Time Warp, it's pronounced "voe lar-ay", not "vole air." 3. Premier's Loch Ness retrack opens the door to other Arrows getting the same treatment, provided they aren't the unpleasantly rough Super Looper types or similar. 4. Boomerang removals aren't a big loss to me unless they somehow manage to teach an old Boomerang new tricks. Hersheypark did that with the Jolly Rancher Remix's scent tunnel. 5. The Mighty Canadian Minebuster is sa--never mind, someone beat me to it.

I dont see hurler getting rmc because legacy cedar fair doesnt like working woth rmx

I doubt we will see Silver Bullet removed at FC as it’s probably the most iconic coaster in Oklahoma. If you talk coasters to any GP here, they will most likely ask “have you ridden Silver Bullet?”

Legacy six flags parks have been neglected for a long time. This is pruning for growth. They announced $1 Billion in capital spending for 25/26. Six Flags Great America had buccaneer battle closed for years just walled off, finally removed for a dive coaster. Once parks have matured, removal become necessary for continued growth and problems children are the first to go.

I think kingda ka is set to get demolished on February 11 to 16 2025

When it comes to Worlds of Fun, I sadly don't think Boomerang is going to go anytime soon, since it isn't really a problem attraction, unlike it's new neighbor. Timber Wolf still runs pretty alright for a Din coaster, and is still a favorite for a lot of people, but I don't think many would be opposed to having a new RMC at this park Really the only thing holding this park back from being great is a lack of funds, and almost no new editions in over a decade and a half, attendance has dropped in recent years as well as quailty, which will hopefully be a sign to Six Flags Management (Cedar Fair Really) to acutely put some effort into it Maybe that new Mattel park will give them enough drive to start improving

The kid flash coasters are more than likely done for someone whose home park is not one of the six flags parks with them but was Seaworld San Diego and saw the remove of tide twister was the last skyline coaster to be removed it hard to see them last most longer

Maybe x-celerator is gonna have top thrill 2 treatment since they have had refurbishment n repaint also hopefully now that need something coming up

For great adventure I’d say skull mountain, Harley Quinn, joker, and yes I agree :(… el toro. That was what I was just saying to my friends the other day. Cedar fair does not care about nostalgia. Next year I predict magic mountains purge which could include ninja, x2, viper, or EFK. They’ll use the new glider to take attention off of it

Kings Dominion just laid off some employees. I suspect that the company will continue to trim the budget in anyway possible. Not a good time to be working for any theme/amusement park company in general.

Bobsled coaster is at kings dominion

Whizzer at Great America has become a historical monument it's not leaving. I hope American eagle gets the rmc!

Love the video but How can you not mention American Eagle at Great America?

Silver bullet and the batman clones are others coming to there ends as well. The new dorney coaster I seeing getting moved, not well liked with the b&m rattle

My biggest Hope if roller coasters to last just as long as the Giant Dipper at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and In San Diego

Sorry for your loss of coasters don't worry hang in there things will get better, Hopefully someday I will be able to fly out to ride EL TORO because I live in California

Blue Hawk was in the movie Vacation. It was called the Velociraptor.

Six flags magic mountain another could be going apocolipa(so)

Great adventure another at danger Superman, that one in the area being demolished.

This video gets five out of five donuts 🍩 🍩🍩🍩🍩. I agree that Superman: Escape from Krypton will never operate again. Which bums me out because I’ve never been to Magic Mountain. I also worry that the days are numbered for X-2 and Xcellerator. I don’t think they will remove Dahlonega Mine Train now that they committed to retheming the Intamin Ultra Surf. I also don’t see Blue Hawk - which I enjoy - going anywhere soon . I agree on Kid Flash - it’s gone. Great video.

I would cry if Dragon Fyre-was my first looping coaster. As for Minebuster, rumor is that its being retracked up here

I hope they keep shockwave as well, by far my favorite vertical loops. However sadly it’s an old shwarskopft so it does have a high chance for removal, just for its age 😢

At Carowinds I think Carolina Cyclone is the only ride really at risk. Hurler gets surprisingly good ridership, Flying Cobra's is a pretty decent ride with the new trains, and Vortex got a refurb/repaint not too long ago. Plus I think if something were to happen to Vortex they would've done it when they were converting/removing all the other standups in the mid 2010s, it's the only standup legacy Cedar Fair did nothing to.

As someone who's home park is VF and who knows a lot about the park, I just want to clarify a few things. Firstly, it seems that CF management is at the helm with removing rides. Valleyfair was one of the two parks that founded the CF chain, and the "fair" part comes from it. With that said, Excalibur as far as I know isn't in any danger at all. I'm sure maintenance on it isn't all too expensive, so they wouldn't remove it. And if they did, because it sits on a flood zone, the city of Shakopee won't let them build something there unless something substantial is done to fix the problem, which is too expensive. And that statement sums up most of Valleyfair's rides. The park has been running on borrowed time. If anything, I could see venom getting the axe in a couple years, cork in less than 10 Mad Mouse in less than 10, etc etc. Even the flats too. Xtreme Swing has had major problems this past year that cause it to run much slower than other of its own counterpart. If they ran it at the same speed, it could probably damage mechanical components in the ride. So, to sum it up, Valleyfair is a park that is running on borrowed time, and if they don't do something about it its gonna all fall down at once. I know management is capable of that, but corporate is a bit dicey since they give the park practically nothing to work with. I'm praying we get something in 2026 like the higher ups at the park were hinting at because the future of the park depends on it. If they get nothing, they're fucked, for a lack of better word. Hopefully corporate pulls their head out of their ass and finally does something about this. It's kinda just depressing seeing all the parks around you getting new additions while your home park gets nothing, not even a new bathroom, a new restaurant location. No new coasters in 18 years, no new waterslides in 10 years, hell, they even took OUT the best ride in soak city too. The whole water park is extremely outdated too. And, on TOP of that, our last new ride we got was a Larson loop in 2018, which was 7 years ago if I did my math right. It's just sad.

I have ridden Timberwolf so I can tell you about it. And to be honest, I don’t think it’s gonna be removed anytime soon the reason I say that because they recently did a lot of track work on it (it used to be so rough that my sisters friend got a concussion on the ride) the other reason I say that is because it is the only classic wooden roller coaster in the park. Prowler and Zambizi Zinger are modern Woodies. The third reason, I don’t think it’s going anywhere anytime soon is because they poured a lot of money into the ride in recent years. And the fourth and final reason I don’t see it going anywhere in anytime soon is because land is not an issue at Worlds of Fun. They have tons of undeveloped land that they can easily use to put just about anything on. However when they do decide to pull the plug on the ride I guarantee you they will most likely RMC it and not tear it down completely. To be honest I will be shocked if they tear it down and don’t RMC it. However boomerang I am going to agree with. But like I said, land is not an issue with this park and there’s not a whole lot they can put this place due to it’s small footprint only like a flat ride or maybe a free spin. But yeah, I don’t think any rides are getting remove anytime soon at World of fun. And I’m about 90% sure that the next ride to go at WOF will be a flat ride.

Are you referring to the company as cedar fair because of the board of directors? Cause that was confusing

SFOG already confirmed that Kid Flash is done for good during Coaster Fest a few months back. It's a shame that being the case as TwiCy was the last major investment the park received at the time prior to Georgia Surfer, now being called Georgia Goldrusher. By removing Kid Flash and also the Axis arena, it would free up space to add in a dive or tilt coaster in that plot of land.

I will cry if El Toro closes

Basically everything #FireZimmerman

I feel Kingda Ka was a victim of TT2. I believe the plan was to close Green Lantern this year and open Ka for the 2025 season then have it close early to give it a similar treatment to TT2 But given with an extended layout into the Green Lantern plot. When TT2 failed the plans for Ka were scrapped and changed as a plan for a new coaster. Instead of a half old half new frankencoaster.

For Great Escape Flashback/Boomerang is getting refurbished and possibly the new trains. I agree with Steamin Demon being on the chopping block. The other coaster instead would be Canyon Blaster the Arrow Mine train.

I wish they'd drop the multi-launch for SFADV for 2026. They're opening one in 2025! Build something else first. Now, I really enjoy dive coasters and also think like a smaller GCI or Gravity group family/thrill coaster would be a great thing in between basically riding skull mountain and then either the new for 2025 or picking a B&M. In the meantime they should be closing El Toro and giving it a makeover from the three companies gci/gravity group/rmc. Titan track and GCI's new trains? If they keep it 3/4 the same itll have better trains from anyone and they could just add 1-2 inversions. Then have a full wooden coaster by it or Jersey devil. Yes, it needs it. "Iron Toro" and something else with a western or Mexican theme or like something haunting (if my jd since you also got skull mountain). If they aren't adding a flat ride every year with the coaster already done and the following year after removing so many rides though, they obviously have no sensible plan whatsoever. I would've said SLC's would've been on the chopping block, other than kong they should just fix them up especially the boomerangs.

Mine Buster is currently being retracked by Gravity Group so, I would have to say Wild Beast

There’s to much competition in Southern California for them to ruin Magic Mountain they have to keep that park competitive. Taking out X2 would be devastating. Universal is literally 30 minutes away and they are building a major coaster.

The last time Superman operated they did run both sides but not at the same time. They did however only run the forwards side for 1 and a half years without running the backwards side at all (which finally starting operating last January)

That is one of the saddest affairs of amusement parks when a ride gets taken out. Today's theme parks are not your parent's parks.

So, everythin with CGA sale aside, the one thing people forget is the operation 'buddy' concept. RailBlazer is SUPER unreliable and when its down, where do people go? Demon. And since RB is down a lot (and I mean A LOT) Demon has good ridership. But that station needs work. It's practically falling apart. I say demon the station, to the foundation, shade the queue or make a tunnel, paint the track a nice cherry red, and cut down trees so we can see the loops and add some chaser lights to them. Its a decent ride, but unless RB js down, people rarely know its there.

I think Xcelerator has some time as they repainted it not too long ago and just got a new train. I believe the train is going to be used for parts, so it will prolong the life of the ride. But still, it is probably the most likely to close next

I’m a great adventure homeparker, this is one rough season we got coming up.

I think Toro and Medusa could be out as soon as the end of the 2025 season.

I could be wrong, but unless something major happens, I think Steel Venom might actually be one of the last Intamin Impulses to go for three reasons: 1. It’s the only Intamin Impulse that still has its holding break. Valleyfair invests a lot of money keeping that maintained and it’s a huge part of their marketing every season. 2. The chain doesn’t really care much about Valleyfair, so as long as Steel Venom isn’t a major money pit, they’ll probably leave it alone. 3. Its location. There are parking lot coasters-and then there’s Steel Venom. Unless they took out at least three flat rides that are next to it, it would be so hard to replace it because there aren’t a lot of options that would fit there. Similarly, Dorney Park keeps investing in Possessed, even making sure B&M designed Iron Menace in a way that protected Possessed. This comment could age like an avocado, but I’d hedge my bets on Steel Venom and Possessed being safe for a while.

Yesssss🎉

I agree with you on Demon Drop and I need to get to this park to ride it before it goes. As for Darien Lake, the two Vekomas are safe as the Boomerang got new track and the SLC is getting new trains. Also, Mindbuster is getting retracked. Hopefully St Louis and Discovery Kingdom gets rid of both their Vekomas.

Joker Funhouse acknowledged. Sign of apocalypse

in the famous words of doctor coaster: "wow."

titan is being repainted to have blue track so its not going anywhere :)

B&M really designed this ride perfectly

Nice list... 1. Steel Vengeance 2. Velocicoaster 3. Maverick

i guess our lost coaster of superstition mountain ride didn't mean as much to you 😞😓😪

i'll see you at holiwood nights! don't rent a car!
