It would make more sense from a financial perspective to simply build a new coaster.

I would argue that point.  A new Hyper would be in the 20 million range... Moving a Hyper, much much cheaper.

These days I don't see how you do a new hyper under $25M. Not even a Chance hyper. Moving Superman could be half that.

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.

 Um, what?  CF has historically had NO issues relocating coasters.  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.
