Does it suck that a people eater is down on a busy day? Yes. But it is what it is. Why should the park make a big deal out of it? For years, I never saw much if anything if The Beast was down for a day, or if the parade characters were going to not dress in costume because of the threat of summer rain. In a like manner, when I went to Camden Park last year Big Dipper was down. Disappointed that I didn't know, but glad I could enjoy everything else. Same with BGW. Tempesto and pantheon down. Just a sign at the rides. My point being...rides go down. As enthusiasts, we are passionate and want to know why etc. But I don't think it's an injustice if the park doesn't have the Royal Court of KI blow from the trumpets on the news station and social media that a ride is down for either a day, right now etc. An extended closure like TT2, sure. -
Some rejects can go for higher value. A few pennies that were a reject/misprint from the mint and got out are worth a lot as an example. Not sure what to make of this one, especially so many years later after just sitting in a field lol. -
It was open Friday when I was there. 2 trains all night. Opened about 20 minutes late but they figured it out. Purple and blue were in operation. -
It was open on Friday. I rarely recall the park making a big deal or even announcing about a "short term" ride closure on social media...

Im not saying its not a cool piece, but let us put this in perspective. Vortex was mentioned above, and pieces of it.... a coaster that A LOT of people Loved and/or had fond memories of.... were $198.70 and came with a COA and limited edition postcards. One more example is Mean Streak/SV. I paid $50 for a ticket to the LBJ Foundation event for SVs pre-opening and along with that came as many rides as I could fit in the time frame of the event and Maverick rides as a bonus AND a limited edition piece of MS's wood track bed with a Steel Vengeance laser cut plaque mounted to it and red bandana. Now, had Mav ever actually RUN during normal park operations with the heartline roll installed then Hell YEAH it would be worth $300, Id actually pay a lot more for it if that were the case.
