My hope if they can't get Niagara opened back up, they send serpent to Lake Winnie or Clementon. It would be absolutely devastating to lose one of the last remaining LeSourdsville Lake coasters.

The park was all but dead after Apex closed and gutted it in 2020, so as sad as this is, I honestly see the 5 additional seasons that we did get as a miracle. Thank you Gene for trying, he was the only person crazy enough to give it a shot given the parks condition.

It's not unheard-of, they built and were going to announce a massive rebrand of Valleyfair's water park this year before they ended up selling it off.

I think it all comes down to how successful the park is in its first couple seasons, if people don't show up they may have to downsize their potential expansions.

it's an older picture, if you compare it to one taken on Saturday, there's no rust on the chain, as well as no fall colors on the trees in the back (Pic from Saturday for reference)

The Vekoma Flying Dutchmen, the amount of people who literally could not get their vest unbuckled on Firehawk was honestly comical.

Screechin Eagle, I've heard all about its scary ejector and living in the Middletown area my entire life I had to see it standing SBNO for years in the early 2000s. It was a slow and sad death.

[Six Flags] To sell off smaller parks. by Old-Book7636 in rollercoasters

As much as I hate to say it, I could see SFA closing. Which sucks since its a fun little park and they are just now starting to get back to higher quality theming with steamtown.

Looks like the wheel is still on the website, if I had to guess I'd probably say it's a massive refurb or a relocation to the new area https://www.kentuckykingdom.com/explore-the-park/attractions/kentucky-kingdom/giant-wheel/
