I know the fate of these coasters seems pretty bleak as a whole, but as an optimist it would be great to see a few of them get a new home. Imagine Ride of Steel going to say, Michigan's Adventure. I know it's a huge structure but it would be a massive hit up there. The SLC I could see possibly being sold and picked up by a smaller park. Somewhere like Indiana Beach would be a great park for one of those to go. I know Firebird will more than likely be a goner, but I can mourn it since it is historic as well as iconic to 90's kids who remember a certain movie in which it was featured in. And well, Batwing, that's basically a given. I've heard it had terrible down time and these older Vekoma Flying Dutchmans are becoming extinct as we know it. Sad because this is a X-Flight/Firehawk clone and again a sentimental type ride. But yeah.
This merger has seen a lot of carnage and hardly any formal announcements to say goodbye. I'm glad they're doing the right thing by announcing this now so people can get in their last rides and visits. I hope people document everything before it's just a flicker of the past. It might not be the best park in the chain but as always, every ride and every park holds a special place in someone's heart.
