Never rode Goliath and never will! I always wanted to go back to the park to ride it. It was a real eye catcher and unique. Too bad they couldn't run it on a regular basis just like Silverwood can run Aftershock.

Shhhhh.. I know from my years of hanging out with my Vancouver & Toronto friends that time works differently in Canada.
(when they show up, they show up)

According to some sources, Kumba would be retired at the end of this season. It is reaching the end of its life.

I hope Ride of Steel will be open all season long!

From a reliable source Marineland has been sold and will open for 2022. Dragon Mountain will open as parts for it have been ordered. The sale will be announced later this year and the park's future is bright with a lot of investment over the next few years. Name change will also be coming in the near future.

I never really pictured Seaworld buying Cedar Fair!

It's a matter of time. And they are quite busy right now.

It is possible the park becomes a waterpark only in the future.

They scrapped the Vekoma corkscrew in late 2019 to make room for that worse Viper coaster! Had all the parts shipped. Done the concrete work to erect the ride, and now it's cancelled! I mean I think it's a good thing! But that Viper ride is probably going to be turned into scrap metal. What coaster can they add now!?
-
Best thing ever!!!!!!!! All the concrete work was pretty much done!! Wow!!!

This has to be some sort of shady business deal that is ultimately not good for either brand. Seems like a leveraged buyout attempt where the ultimate goal is bankrupt the company so whomever is orchestrating this can take the pieces they want and sell the rest for scrap
Which would mean some parks closing.
-
It doesn't mean because Sea World made an offer to buy Cedar Fair that it will be sold.

Well, now not only it's dead it's buried!

I thought they called their triple loop Cyclone! It would have been a great name!
-
There is something going on for sure at DL!
-
I doubt they will close SROS. It is the star attraction. Scrapping it would be very surprising. There are ways to fix whatever needs to be fixed.
-
It will look awesome with a fresh coat of paint! Awesome! I think there will be extensive testing when it's all assembled. They will probably make additional repairs and then repaint it.

I totally agree with you. CLP is not the last park to get demolished. And Blue Streak is not the last coaster to get demolished. There will be more. We have to enjoy the parks and coasters while we can. They are not eternal. Although we have lost many wooden coasters since the new millenium, we are lucky to still have classic parks and wooden coasters around to ride. Times change. And right now, the pandemic is certainly not helping.
-
Yes I think those impulse LIM coasters are not the best fit for small parks (cost and maintenance wise).

I'm sure they tried to sell it, and pretty much any of their parks that would've had room for an impulse already have one.
I find it hard to believe no other independant smaller park wanted it.

I am just wondering why they did not sell or relocate Wicket Twister instead of demolishing it!?

I got to agree with a bunch of you guys. He was the only one to bid. Got the park for quite a good price. Had he been willing to talk the truth about his intentions maybe the general public would not hate him as much and would understand better. I think if it wasn't for the pandemic the park, and Blue Streak, would still be around and operating, but for how long!? CLP and most of its rides were not in perfect shape. I loved that place because it was so unique and mostly because of the Blue Streak. Now that it's gone I don't think the park will remain. They will probably build houses or condos.
