Hi guys. Sorry if this question has already been asked, but does anyone know why Reaper: Drop Ride to Doom at Amsterdam Dungeon closed? For those of you that don't know what I'm talking about, it was a Mack E-Motion coaster within the Amsterdam Dungeon that opened in 2005 and closed in 2014. Here's an RCDB link: https://rcdb.com/3267.htm

But I really am stumped about why it closed; it wasn't even that old when it shut!

On a side note, I must say that Reaper looks like it was an incredibly weird ride; according to RCDB, it was only the same length as a Zamperla Family Gravity Coaster, went 15.7mph, yet lasted 1 minute and 30 seconds! Did it make multiple circuits or something?

Never ridden in but from POVs, it had a lot of MCBRs and hardly did anything. As soon as it picks up speed, it ends with only 1 circuit. The numerous moving parts must have meant it coast a bomb to operate without much reward.
