Seems like an automated, general non-answer.

Racer open for a winterfest....... are you for real? maybe on days like today, but i have been to winterfest when the wind coming off of the carousel was almost too much. they had lawsuits filed for "unintentional" injuries on SOB last year. How about next year let's invite lawsuits for "frost-bite."
You’re right. Stupid idea. Haha.

A Gotham City retheme of AZ could be incredible… if done correctly. Though, with the current direction of things I’m not confident that would be the case.

Odd. When we went this week it was running.

Losing WindSeeker could also open up opportunities with the Action Theater area again. As others have mentioned, that area can be a bottleneck nightmare and adding something else back there could make it worse. Without WindSeeker, there may be bigger and better options.
Skyflyer could’ve been removed years ago.

If our 2026 "family attraction" is Phantom Theater 2.0 with animatronics and physical sets, I will retract many of the negative things I have said about the park management this season concerning investment and new ride additions.
We can hope!

With that logic, then ELI (WOF railroad) and Le Taxitour could possibly be on the chopping block as well.
The former has recently within the last 7 to 5 years gone through an extensive rebuild and the latter just got new “antique” vehicles this past year (the same models used at KMAA).Certainly hope that’s not the case.

Mamba is getting repainted so it won't be that. I could see Zulu though.
Slingshot and King Cobra were both repainted shortly before they were removed. It does happen, unfortunately.

I feel that if the rumors about Invertigo, Congo, Timberwolf, and now The Bat are accurate.... then 2026 or 2027 could bring a new experience. Would like to see the scar at the back of the park addressed though.... but those attractions occupy prime "front of park" real estate and are aging/low ridership.
(Not directed at you specifically)
I don’t think the removal of any of those attractions is anything more than “wishful” thinking from enthusiasts who’d like to see half the park demo’d in favor of concrete and lackluster coaster installations. Have there been any legitimate rumors saying this? Aside from regularly scheduled seasonal work involving Timberwolf?
That said, I hope none of that comes to fruition, including the removal of Top Gun/The Bat. There are so many other areas of the park that need attention before AZ. I’m afraid that massive ride removals would only lead to large spaces of cleared land and wooden fences for 5-10 years.

Look how Cedar Fair has treated other parks. KI for example, got a "lackluster" giga so it couldn't surpass Cedar Point, Canadas Wonderland got a lackluster giga so Mille could be better, Kings Dominions RMC wasn't nowhere near as big as SteVe so Cedar Points can be king, KI always has gotten 'OK" additions since Cedar Fair has purchased them from Paramount. They want Cedar Point to be the top park and now that Cedar Fair management is in charge with this merger, they're going to do whatever it takes to keep Cedar Point king. Even if it includes Demo-ing Ka. Also, for example, Cedar Point is getting ANOTHER new coaster AGAIN for what, 3 or 4 years in a row? Complete crap. They want Cedar Point as the flagship and they're going to do what it takes to ensure it stays the flagship.
Man I HATE Cedar Fair.

With Cedar Fair calling the shots Cedar Point has to stay the king, not Great Adventure. Ka was taller and faster than TT2 so removing it makes perfect sense to keep Cedar Point the king.
This is exactly why I hate Cedar Fair's guts. All the other parks get crap and Cedar Point gets everything.
Oh yeah. Cedar Fair thinks Kingda Ka is a threat to the totally fine and operational Top Thrill 2. The raving success of that ride had led them to close Kingda Ka out of sheer vengeance and not because the ride concept has been a total disaster since opening,
Makes sense.

Happy Winterfest, KIC!

I'll beat the dead horse of KI should also increase their season pass price to enhance the guest experience in the park overall.
Could not agree more. But unfortunately, I think it “works” to well for the park for them to make any major changes.

I mean…. Let’s see this happen.

Wishful thinking, but I’m hoping dark ride.

That building NEEDS a top spin. It’s what it was built for. Bring back the adventure. Make it incredible like TRTR but without the IP.
I was talking about Action Zone. Not sure what that has to do with TR:TR. But the theme and IP were, and would still be horribly out of place. So, hopefully they won’t do that.

I will always be salty that I never got to experience Tomb Raider The Ride at peak performance.
Pretty bold claim to make without having experienced it.

Cedar Fair isn’t really to blame. Huss, the ride’s manufacturer, created a faulty product that literally tore itself apart. The ride’s removal was inevitable.
You should check out the Defunctland video if you haven’t. Enjoyable if you’re interested in the subject.
