We might be about to see a giant green scrapheap at SFGAd: https://www.facebook.com/share/1D7bLPRoFS/

This is B&M all over for me at the moment, they rarely make *bad* rides but when was the last time that a new B&M was really exciting/new/interesting? Probably Fury 325 nearly 10 years ago.

I'm bumping this topic in honour of SFGAd which now boasts an absolutely legendary defunct line-up including three twin-track coasters, two stand-up coasters, and even a couple of togos. Oh, and the tallest roller coaster that has ever operated: - Kingda Ka - Green Lantern - Batman and Robin The...

Let's review the evidence here, having a quick look back here as well as what I've seen on social media, the only "confirmation" I can see that the structure will be removed are the two messages below: This is not confirmation, they could put spinning trains and an LSM launch with track...

I'm not convinced the structure and Zumanjaro are coming down, that information seems a bit hazy, my money is still on the structure and maybe even the track being re-used.

So what you're confirming to us here is that we're getting RMC Kingda Ka? It's one bombshell after another on this topic - Superman is down too? So of the World's super fast coasters as of a few years ago we have: Kingda Ka - rumoured to now be permanently closed TT2 - general disaster Dodonpa...

Can't view that Facebook group but rcdb lists it as removed now too, I think it deserves its own topic.

As reported here by @TPoseOnTantrum , Six Flags Over Texas have reportedly closed La Vibora, it's already showing as "removed" on rcdb: https://rcdb.com/99.htm It originally opened at Magic Mountain in 1984 and is the last of the five Intamin Swiss bobs in the World. I suppose a relocation is...

More daytime construction pics: Not to be pedantic, but the topic title says "shuttle" but this is a full circuit coaster with a swing launch, right?

Hate to be a back-seat mod, but could somebody kindly update the topic title as we've known the name for a while now? :) PS. I can't wait to see this thing running/duelling

Looks great (although I'm a bit concerned about the throughput) but surely a budget of €2.7m can't be correct - it's got to be at least 3x that for a ride of this scale, over water, right?

It was a fairly modest year for new creds +22 in total but it included 3 huge new entries to my top ten (Hyperia, Wildfire and Zadra) so here's my new-look top 25: 1. Velocicoaster 2. Zadra 3. Iron Gwazi 4. Ride to Happiness 5. Hyperion 6. Wildfire 7. Helix 8. Hyperia 9. Untamed 10...

Thanks all and especially @Serena for a brilliant day, it was great to see some old friends and make some new ones, hope to see you all at the next one 🙂.

Obviously it's getting relocated to Cedar Point to replace TTD

Amazing how much is left after nearly 20 years including a bunch of seemingly relocatable rides (Jester, the boomerang, the wild mouse, the Ferris wheel). So are there plans for it to be demolished in the near future?

Yeah they are desperately lacking a kiddie cred - my daughter is 95cm and has 26 creds to her name but there is no coaster at Chessington she can ride, even Thorpe Park has one she can do.

Did they definitely hint at a *roller coaster* with an inversion? I remember a hint at something going upside down but not necessarily a coaster, could be a top spin or something. I'm still holding out hope for a small GG wooden coaster. Add a new gen top spin plus a filler or two, retheme...

Update today from Diary of a RollerCoaster Girl - some serious work ongoing 🤔 https://www.facebook.com/share/p/Qeg2xDT5Hqatyehx/

It's a classic for sure but honestly wasn't all that enjoyable, significantly lower quality than the rest of the coasters at the park, so it was a once and done for us. I'd imagine it will be replaced by a flat ride given the plot size.
