If they do decide to relocate S:ROS then I would definitely want to see it go to SFSTL. The park is in desperate need of a major new attraction, even if it's relocated from another park. 1 1

Off the top of my head: Stealth (CGA)->Nighthawk (CW) X-Flight (GL)->Firehawk (KI) Invertigo (CGA)->Stinger(DP) Dominator (GL)->Dominator(KD) Head Spin (GL)->Flying Cobras (CW) Steel Venom (GL)->Possessed (DP) Thunderhawk (GL)->Thunderhawk (MI) Most of those were relocations from a park they owned and closed (Geauga Lake) to other parks in the chain. There is no reason to think that moving a coaster from SFA to any other park is off the table for that reason. If anything, I'd say it's substantially cheaper to relocate an existing ride, especially given the current tariff situation going on. I stand corrected. Thanks for the info. I ,for one, do hope that something big will come SFSTL's way. If S:ROS is to be relocated then hopefully it will come to this park. 1 1
parkjunkie Posted Sunday at 05:28 PM Posted Sunday at 05:28 PM Id rather have a flat ride than that garbage SROS they call a coaster. Not to mention, it would be cheaper to build a brand new one. The amount of land grading, support modifications and all that due to the terrain at our park compared to where it sits now is vastly different
