Sad.. I never got to ride it even though I passed right by it in Florida.
Expect lots of videos and TRs of Worlds of Fun and many other parks next year!

Well that's unfortunate. I drive past the coaster on 95 all the time and enjoy seeing it since we have to drive to Orlando to ride any coasters. Thankfully I've ridden the DBH many times. But, I'll still miss it. :(

Why dosen't this get relocated to Fun Spot Orlando? They're doing an expansion and just surveyed their guests about bringing in new rides and attractions and they said they wanted Roller Coasters, so why not bring the woodie there? It'd be perfect!

Yummy! I just ate donkey!

That's too bad, it was a good ride. Back when I ranked coasters consistently, it was in my top 30% overall, and top 50% for wooden coasters, so it was a solid ride, if not a particular favorite of mine. It's also the only decent coaster on that end of the state, which makes the loss even suckier. I hope Boomers would at least consider buying it at a bargain price, rather than just demolishing it (or letting it rot), as I doubt it's likely to be relocated (From what I understand, relocated wooden coasters have to be mostly rebuilt from scratch, minus the non-structural components).

This is a bummer; always hate to lose a woodie (no pun intended). But I am grateful we are now living in a time when a 100-foot-tall coaster can be called "little" and "midsized."

Looks like it's on pretty flat terrain, which would make it a bit easier to move? So maybe?

^Yeah, but when you've already got a highly rated woodie also on flat ground that's been sitting SBNO for years over in Missouri I don't think there's a big market for these things. :(

Again, we can all hope, but we should also be prepared that there's a good chance this will not run again.

Nuthin' better than a naked donkey!
