I was one of the first riders on Anaconda in 1991. Like Vortex, it was a great visual. It's a real classy move by Six Flags to remove rides without giving advance notice so fans of the ride can get in their last rides and say goodbye. They're not giving it any thought or care about their guests doing it this way.
With all the news of the post-end-of-season closures, I’m reallly hoping that KI doesn’t get hit with any before the next 2025 season (unless it’s like Congo Falls but even then I’d still be upset I didn’t ride it for the last time.) At least if The Bat or something closes at the end of next season, we still have the chance to ride it with the rumors in mind.
