It's the Jeffrey Siebert effect.

I'm not counting out Superman. It still has a chance at being moved within the chain or to a different park.

I am hoping to be very wrong about the relocations for the coasters. I really think the spinning mouse and the kiddie coaster are the only ones moved within the chain and maybe the only one moved period. I could see Firebird or the SLC going to somewhere random like Brazil, I guess, but I wouldn't bet on it. The woodies are done. Superman is too big both in terms of cost to move and trying to fit the footprint anywhere. Nothing with an LIM launch is getting moved in 2025, nor is a Vekoma Flying Dutchman. Sad days ahead as these all get scrapped.

I was there from opening to around 5:50, having gotten off Wild One as my final ride at the park around 5:20 after a 2-hour-and-18-minue (!) wait for front row. After grabbing a few photos and videos, I went over to catch the curtain call for the final stunt show. I'll reserve my comments about this park in general out of respect to the locals, but it was sad, especially seeing the show staff pour their hearts into the final performances (which I saw and recorded for the Steam Heist stunt show and the Half-Dead High dance show) and the speeches they gave at the end. My only rides of the day were Roar (8 minute wait for front row, right at opening, and it wasn't terrible), the Capital Railways train, Pirate's Flight (hoping this rare flat makes its way back to KD), and Wild One. I thought about going back to Superman after the Wild One ride, but seeing what happened I'm glad I didn't. I honestly didn't set foot on the far side of Wild One even once today. I did to go the park back in May when the closure was announced and got rides on Wild One, Superman, Joker's Jinx, the SLC formerly known as Mind Eraser, Ragin' Cajun and the kiddie coaster (the last two were my only missing credits here), so I was satisfied with my visit tonight. I was even able to score what might have been the last piece of SFA-branded merch in the place at the end of the night (a picture frame with a broken desk stand)! Full report coming eventually.

Not sure if you stayed till closing, but I guess the day ended in the most unsurprising way possible. I was watching someone's live stream and they showed the last rides on Roar, the SLC, Ragin Cajun, and Joker. They walked up to Wild One and it still had a sizeable line so they filmed themselves walking out. Was sad to watch. Then not too long after, reports started hitting Twitter about Superman getting stuck on the lift and evac'd, and they just dumped the entire 2 hour line and that would be the final curtain call for SFA. No surprises here. I would've easily gone to Wild One for last ride if I were there tonight.

Thanks for sharing. B&M Dive Coasters have always been middle-of-the-road for me, but this is the first one that is really exciting to follow. 300-foot coasters aren't built too often. I was planning for 2026 to be my "off" year for any major travel, but I may have to squeeze in a long weekend in Texas to ride this thing. Also, really hoping B&M can get their crap together and this ride will run smoothly. My tolerance is pretty high for shaky rides, so I was hoping all the complaining about recent B&Ms was exaggerated. After riding Wrath of Rakshasa this year and then Yukon Striker a couple days later... it is VERY obvious something has changed. Fingers crossed!

Oh yeah, just typed them in the wrong order off the top of my head. No plans to spend two days at SFOT though. Shouldn't be a need.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn. Guess what the first comments I have read are... The way the coaster interacts with itself looks amazing. The flybys from the train will be great, too. Nailed it. I also want to thank Sportsdude for staying on top of this. I'm enjoying the updates. This is one of the only pages I check in my short time on TPR anymore.

Ride look sick but I can't help but be a bit concerned with B&Ms recent track record. This ride seems like a recipe for some of the most violent B&M rattle we've ever seen. Yukon Striker rides very well so I am somewhat optimistic, but we'll see. I'd hate for the ride to be known as "Torture: Rattling Run"

Track signing!! We were invited to sign both sides of the track!

Too early to start 2026 addition discussions?
