Nah I think itll be around for awhile. Its just so big and its such a great structure. It is number 10 on travel channels greatest architechtural marvels. This is the same list with the eifel tower, hoover dam etc. I think it brings quite a few people in and I sure hope they never take it out. I love the ride. I love its roughness. A coaster that big should feel like your riding a coaster that big.
