In the same tweetchain there's the mention that the park has sent out proposal requests to multiple vendors for any one of them to finish Mad Ramp Peak at least, and KumbaK is said to have shown interest. Whether anyone will take on the task given the costs involved remains to be seen.

it's really unfortunate that a park has put so much faith into one supplier to create their two arguably 'signature' attractions - for them now to have gone out of business. Must be very frustrating as they aren't simple roller coasters either.

I'd call it stupid rather than unfortunate, especially given the manufacturer in question. Some very poor decisions made with this park.

I was actually at Genting Highlands today and the SFX coaster looks in pretty bad shape. Track is filthy, whole area it's in looks run-down and it's a huge eyesore to the park IMO. I think the same is probably true of Mad Ramp Peak, but as the area is already themed to be a bit more worn out it doesn't look so obviously neglected. Shame really, as they both look like they'd be quite unique rides, at a pretty unique looking park.

For what it's worth - didn't bother going into the outdoor park (Genting Highlands Theme Park) as it's quite steep without the two interesting coasters operating. The indoor park (Skytropolis somethingorother) has a new powered coaster that isn't open yet and a Volare which is currently down for maintenance.

Mercifully, I knew this going in and therefore wasn't really the purpose of the trip. Decent day out up the cable car and the like, mind.

what I can find out is that, while dynamic went bankrupt, the two attractions have a good chance, the park has also opened a tender for any company interested in operating the dynamic attraction, Mad Ramp Peak will be taken over by the production company Kumbak and they are also interested in that, for SFX Coaster it may take more time to wait I hope Intamin will take over, also I saw some workers who were checking the surface of the Mad Ramp Peak track last month maybe it was from Kumbak officials.

I managed to ask the park workers that the SFX Coaster still has components that have not been installed and that the project will be completed in 2025 and will open in 2026.

They have cleared the track recently
