I think that Shockwave is here to stay for a few more years at the least. It's still the flagship ride in the park to the GP, but the park really needs to get new trains for it. The ones at the moment are terrible. Before the loop there is a lot of headbanging (unless you are in the front row) and that 1st Corkscrew is just awful on the male parts. Also they need to completely refurbish the station building if they are planning on keeping it, I can't believe that the management think that that is an acceptable place for their guests to spend 30 mins+ queueing. In hot weather the heat becomes unbearable in there, they could at least install some air conditioning ffs. Also the building is so run down, the walls are covered in graffiti, the windows are covered in mould and there is litter everywhere. It's just a completely unpleasant place to queue.
