Well they have officially announced the date of sale for WCO tickets. Tickets go on sale January 21st and 10AM. The event itself takes place February 22nd. And of course this event will come with yet another price hike of $100. Just.....yeah. But no doubt this event will set out. https://www.cedarpoint.com/events/winter-chill-out

Actually I came up with Six Axes thanks but @BeeastFarmercreated this great artwork for it!

I think it's fair to say that asking any of these places what their plans are with attractions are going to be met with a lot of fluff or auto-generated responses. The luke-warm vagueness is all the rage.

I for one really enjoy Skyflyer. Its the biggest thrill in the park to me. I always do it on Pride Night as is tradition. And I might do it if I catch it on the cheap on other visits. I will be sad if they take it down, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Perfect!!! I appreciate your added sense of humor to my comment!!!

I will now, going forward, refer to this company as "Six Axes". Just change the flags to axes at this point. This is the new world order I guess.

I have no doubt people would riot in the streets if that happened

At this point, I simply do not trust anything about this new company. Rumors seem to be coming true bit by bit and with more coming down the pipeline, they seem to have zero problems closing rides and giving absolutely no notice. All I can say is if a rumor comes about and seems strongly supported, better to be safe than sorry and go ride whatever ride is slated to come down next. All of this is just ugly.

Seeing that mangled track is so sad. And knowing that Ka will be getting the same treatment is just gut wrenching. Chang/Green Lantern may not have been as iconic as Ka, but it still had a history and still meant something to someone. Had it been allowed to stay at KK I believe it would have been refurbished and still running to this day as a major attraction. And who knows, it might have gotten a floorless conversion when the park came back from the dead and it would be a fun huge coaster still operating today. The what ifs are always mind numbing. All I can say is I realllllllyyy super do not like the direction of this merger thus far. From an optics standpoint this just stinks.

"It is what it is" might suit many, but not everyone. Remember, a ride you hate is a favorite to someone else with happy memories/sentimental value. I am aware that business decisions are not dictated by emotion, but you know, many industries these days have completely lost their ability to have any human touch. There is always a way to go about things with tact and grace even if it is a must. Just because something has to happen does not mean that there shouldn't be some sense of commitment to the guests/fans that gave them their success. But alas. Here we are. The wheels will keep turning and laser cutters will slice steel tracks and bulldozers will level grounds. And people will continue to purchase passes and patronize these facilities. I just think the people deserve better. *shrugs*

I will believe it when I see it officially announced, but sadly I would not be shocked since these models seem to be a nightmare for parks to operate and maintain as they are older Vekoma models with a lot of moving parts. I fear these will become extinct in the US without any new Vekoma flyers to arrive stateside. I would really love to see something like F.L.Y make its way over here, but no parks seem to be in a hurry to adopt these models even with the improved design and ride quality. If this is officially closing, I will be really sad for those who didn't get to obtain their final rides without notice. Would hate to see a trend of closing rides forever and not allowing people to say goodbye.

AP was a much needed refresh to that area. For it being such a small area, they really did pack a punch with theming and the ride choices were solid IMO. Although I won't ride Cargo Loco due to no amount of motion sickness meds/bands able to overcome that experience, Sol Spin is without a doubt my favorite flat-ride in the park at this time. There are always ways to improve/upgrade an area and I hope that more shade will be a priority in AP and around the park as a whole. But yes, AP really shines in my eyes as a great example of what the park is capable of doing with theming and use of limited space within tighter areas of the park.

Aside from being able to still get some last rides in before the season/year are officially over, I love to just pick and poke around with the people I go with. Look at the lights, let the whimsy flow through me, people watch on the ice rink, drink hot chocolate and simply take it all in before the hiatus of no KI begins.

I hope things get better for you and yours @Vortex1987 !!!

Well everyone, I think we can already see our new "family thrill attraction" taking shape! Looks like we will be getting an outdoor movie theater!
