The rumor of the ride leaving has been around for the past two years. I'm glad to see the park finally freeing up some room. THe ride was garbage after SF and the state got a hold of it.

I am glad that I got my credit, but I was VERY disappointed in the ride after hearing how great it was before SF got a hold of it. :x I don't really care because I wasn't going to ride it again anyways.

I don't think it opened at all in 2005, it wasn't anytime I was there. No one I know liked this ride, it was a waste of SFMW's money and time. Hope they get something new...anything would be better than Zonga.

No wait.

This is going to become the new ride! The way the photo is, it will incorporate an "Indiana Jones" type of theme where the train will jump the section of track and contain special effects..lol

(Sad to see this masterpiece go. I never had a chance to ride it, but seen POV's of it).

It was an okay ride fun wise, it was just very uncomfortable. It wasn't really worth any type of wait. It's nice to see it coming down.

Why do I still have a donkey title???

Anybody want to hazard a guess as to what will replace it?

Assuming Six Flags will retain this park in it's portfolio, I would like to see a ride similar to Storm Runner @ Hershey, but I am curious that I thought the area had a height restriction. If so, what is the height limit?

Whatever they replace it with, it'll be over parking lot. A Half-Pipe or that Zamperla Motocoaster could look nice in there.
All clear....

Dispatch, enjoy your ride.
