Not every park can be Kings Island, Knoebels, or Busch Gardens Williamsburg. Seems like we're getting the worst of both worlds from the merger. I suppose it's really early in the game.

Bummed about it as well, but it was anticipated. The cables need to be completely replaced every ten years or so, and there was apparently discussion about removing them the last time the cables were redone due to the cost factor. Plus it already cannibalized all remaining parts from other Six Flags sky rides that already had fallen, like SFNE's. That said, if the company was remotely interested in anything other than the bottom line like some other parks, I'm sure they would've been able to figure something out. Another reason why I'll gladly give my money to other parks in the meantime if I absolutely need to scratch my coaster itch.

I'm wondering if Green Lantern gets scrapped or if it gets relocated. I rode it Sunday and honestly it still runs fine. The people who say it hurts and it sucks blow it way out of proportion. Sure stand-ups are kind of uncomfortable by design but Lantern really wasn't that rough and it had a fantastic and intense layout. If it gets scrapped it would be the 2nd B&M to ever be scrapped yet Firebird is still allowed to live on and is total trash (and by all accounts, so is Vortex). I think this would be a great ride to put in a park like Valleyfair or Michigans Adventure where it actually has a chance to shine instead of being overshadowed like it was at Great Adventure.
