Noo that's a shame if that's true. Rode it in 2018 and it was fun. The other rumour was the italian swings.

That's the ride! Alton used to have one years ago as well (no doubt some other parks), quite a rare flat now.

This does raise the question; will Knoebels do something to fill the space? Some have mentioned that the front area of Knoebels, where 1001 Nachts and the Italian Trapeze (the 2 most mentioned contenders for this mystery ride removal), may be a prime spot for their next major attraction. However, it's most likely that this ride will either not be replaced in general, or replaced at a later time than 2020.

As for Knoebels' next coaster project, I could see the revival of the wooden wild mouse - a compact and very unique ride that would be right at home among Knoebels' other old-school thrills. The argument can be made that a wooden wild mouse could be too similar to Black Diamond, but in my opinion the latter is an indoor, watered-down version of a wild mouse that would be seen as a family-friendly version to the wooden wild mouse, if built.

Whatever comes of this, I'm certainly hooked - Knoebels is my favorite park, so I like to keep up on whatever they're up to.
