K1ngdaKa88 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 It's so sad to hear that such classic Schwarzkopf coasters have an unknown future! I wish that a park buys this coaster to save it from the dump... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Any word on whatever happened to the ride or did it just end up getting scrapped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheoB Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Any word on whatever happened to the ride or did it just end up getting scrapped? According to that facebook page it seems to be in storage near the park. Its not for sale but when it does go on sale it will be public knowledge it said. Apparently 2 years of sitting in the sun has made them un-useable but i don't think thats true. They are going to sell it as a package with the Intamin wild river ride too. From the photos it seems to have been taken down properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Looks like we may be losing two Schwarzkopf legends in one go... This time it's Tsunami. Apparently the park's operators, the state government, did not take good enough care of the ride for it to be operated well, and they couldn't find a buyer willing to invest in it. So the ride in its entirety will be scrapped. This is quoted from a new post on the above Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/TsunamiCoaster This was also apparently confirmed on page 4 or 5 of the following official document: http://eservicios2.aguascalientes.gob.mx/periodicooficial/web/viewer.html?file=..%2FArchivos%2F3740.pdf&fbclid=IwAR1KMG3Avp4V5STZwuWLVSpyycgI8ZdSjgHC297rTDVksIUZwuv4-LOt5BY#page=1 Triste noticia para todos los que conocemos la historia de esta Montaña Rusa desde sus inicios en Alemania. El Gobierno del Estado de Aguascalientes no aprovechó al máximo una atracción tan emblemática cómo lo es Thriller / Texas Tornado / Zonga / Tsunami y no fue capaz de venderla a alguien que la regresara a la vida. Olympia Looping es un ejemplo de que este tipo de Montañas Rusas pueden ser muy útiles por muchos años. Muy lamentable noticia. Durante estos días, seguiremos informando sobre esta situación. Sad news for all of us who know the history of this roller coaster since its beginnings in Germany. The Government of the state of aguascalientes did not make the most of an attraction as emblematic as it is thriller / Texas Tornado / Zonga / Tsunami and was not able to sell it to someone who will return it to life. Olympia looping is an example that this type of roller coaster can be very useful for many years. Very unfortunate news. During these days, we will continue to inform you about this. I've become a Schwarzkopf coaster fan after riding Jetline and Lisebergbanan, so this one hurts. I'm now considering doing a "quick" international trip to London or one of Olympia Looping's other stops soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 ^ Mindbender at West Edmonton is another awesome one. It's my favorite Schwarzkopf outside of Quimera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) Well... the title of this thread about a tsunami at San Marcos Island in Mexico had me thinking this was a much bigger deal than it was. Anyone else? Edited October 9, 2019 by coasterbill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I was nerdy enough to know this is where Zonga went so no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
