DJSkyFoxx Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Now the big question. Will another park pick this one up or will it be scrapped? Mmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnjniehaus Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Sad this is going but it was running pretty janky for a Schwarzkopf when I rode it two years ago. The only way a park is going to keep a Schwarzkopf these days is if it's a beloved classic/historically significant or if the park doesn't have a lot of investment put into it. For example, revolution at magic mountain isn't going anywhere anytime soon because it's a classic. I'd guess frontier city is also going to hang silver bullet as long as possible. A park like BGT doesn't have one that is an ACE coaster landmark or as iconic as something like super-duper-looper but they do invest in BGT quite often so it makes sense it's being retired for a modern replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that SFOT keeps Shockwave as long as possible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that one is my personal favorite and I will definitely try to make a trip to ride it if they ever announce it's closure. If it lasts till 2028 I'm going to make a motion for it to become an ACE Landmark for holding the record of highest G-force in the USA for 50 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMC created Wild Moose with the intent of it being used as either a replacement for existing wild mouses or just fitting on a small plot of land. It would be cool if they took a stab at their own take on compact Schwarzkopf designs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
