CoasterMyths79 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I would not be disappointed if it got relocated to Kings Island and name it King Cobra! Link:http://www.italintl.com/detail_page.php?record_id=1886 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Cedar Fair is selling it. That means they have determined they have no interest in relocating it. King Cobra was also offered for sale...and had no takers. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Considering its nearly 30 years old, its been sitting in the Canadian weather all that time, and Togo is no more, I really, really doubt it'll find a home other than a scrapyard. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 At least the company has learned something from the Big Dipper sale. Removal required by September 2014. Oh, wait... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Canada's Wonderland's story is that the real estate on which SkyRider sits is needed for something else... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleShawn Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Camden Park needs to buy it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 A. Camden couldn't afford to install it, much less buy and move it. B. They did such a good job maintaining Screamin' Demon (not--it rusted away). C. The coaster is almost bigger than either the upper end or lower end of the park. Thanks for the laugh, though. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thekidd33 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I thought they had stated that it was being sold for scrap with a few pieces headed to the Roller Coaster Museum? Did something change? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Yes. It's now listed for sale, as per the link in the original post here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleShawn Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 One nice little coaster, besides Big Dipper and I think that place could really pick up. Alwell I can dream. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBEASTunchained Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 If no buyers come along, I'd like to see maybe a peice of track, along with the trains, head to the National Roller Coaster Museum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I'd suspect the trains would go to Kings Dominion, unless that coaster is also slated for near term removal. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterMyths79 Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 I could use a coaster in my backyard. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I'd suspect the trains would go to Kings Dominion, unless that coaster is also slated for near term removal. That's what I'm thinking - they're just casting their polls in the water to see if something bites. The likely scenario is that the track will be scrapped (and probably worth something) and the trains will go to Dominion, where they can still use them for parts.... for now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of King Demon Bat Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 If no one comes forward to purchase SkyRider.Cedar Fair should consider relocating it to another one of their properties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindingSon Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 If no one comes forward to purchase SkyRider.Cedar Fair should consider relocating it to another one of their properties. I don't think it would have been for sale if they were considering that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Agreed. See post 2 in this thread. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIBeast Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I would rather see Camden get one of these Larson Giant Loop coasters. Smaller footprint, still provides a thrill, and they can market it as a coaster because Larson does. On topic, I don't really see any amusement park clamoring for this coaster as Togo no longer exists. The whole standing coaster phase is over.

TombRaiderFTW Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Per the Ital International, Inc. listing, SkyRider has been sold: click. That was unexpected, but it's definitely appreciated (as long as the ride is rebuilt somewhere I'll have a chance of riding it!) Hopefully it wasn't bought for scrap. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Come visit my back yard! SkyRider will be renamed for the 2015 season, standby for the announcement of the announcement date! "In all seriousness, I am excited that it has been bought and hopefully it'll land somewhere close. KK? Indiana Beach? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 If past is prologue, China, Asia or Latin America is more likely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhyano Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Skyrider has been SOLD! Who would be crazy to buy a Togo stand up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIBeast Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I stand corrected. Never thought this would sell. It's good that it's not going to disappear completely, just from this continent more than likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goki32 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I wonder how much it went for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 There's still a huge possibility that it went for scrap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outdoor Man Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 On an unrelated note, more Geauga Lake/CF items still for sale. SkyCoaster: http://www.italintl.com/detail_page.php?record_id=1125 Observation Tower anyone? http://www.italintl.com/detail_page.php?record_id=1735 Possibly the old El Dorado: http://www.italintl.com/detail_page.php?record_id=152 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 The Skycoaster thing is interesting. I was always under the understanding that those were the property of the manufacturer. Wasn't it the first thing repoed when SFKK closed? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geauga Lake- that former SF, not Kentucky Kingdom I'm pretty sure someone on here posted photos of it being removed - just days after they announced its closure at SFKK. I could be wrong...
