    If this happens the park will loose a fan favorite besides El Toro and Nitro and I think it will mess up the park

      Keep in mind gigas are gp pleasers and if it is more reliable I believe it’ll be a step up for the park. Def not a loss.

    TT2 is technically a prototype for the refurb it was given. Perhaps once the growing pains and gremlins it has been plagued with following the refurb and has been perfected, they can apply the same upgrade to kingda ka. (Though i highly doubt it). Or they can just leave kingda ka alone. Its a great experience. Hopefully they wont mess with anything that is not broken.

      Yeah. That's why Canada's Wonderland is getting the best new coaster in the chain next year. Also why their own parks are beating CP in other records.
      It can't possibly have anything to do with Intamin having built unreliable rides that injure people.

    Why would they have repainted two of the trains just to remove it in a year. I think intamin will come in and add lsms modify the trains to have lsms and extend the layout. Also zumanjuro has been closed for inspections by intamin maybe they have been covering up what they will do with ka and I feel like if they we’re modifying zumanjuro they have plans to keep the ride or modify ka

    Zumanjaro technically replaced Rolling Thunder, and is attached to Kingda Ka so if this is all true, we technically will be losing two coasters plus another one that was for Zumanjaro for a Giga? Not worth it. Intamin Revamp with extension into rolling Thunders plot after Zumanjaro’s queue gets approved to be relocated closer to the ride because of the LSM launch system I’m thinking it will probably be. Removing it makes no sense to me at all. This is all Cedar Fair having a grudge against this park. This park deserves more credit than it deserves and back in 06’ it was like Disney. It’s been on a downward spiral ever since and this year since the merger, it looks amazing. Now they want to remove an Icon? Not only an icon to Six Flags but to Roller Coasters and New Jersey in general? I’m annoyed at all these rumors because all it is slinging mud at this park and I’m sick of it. This park has more potential than Carowinds and Cedar Point. This is my home park and I’m a die heart for it.

    If the rumours are true for the entrance to be back where the old entrance was, then this makes sense. I think the park's huge problem is that its hard to navigate and each area you have to walk in then back out. (I hope epic universe doesn't have this problem)
    THUS, a giga or major coaster at the new entrance makes sense imo if lantern and ka are out.

    So you’re saying it’s still an option to do something like TT2? I heard from someone else there’s only a slim chance of that now. And if Ka’s main structure stays as is would they keep zumanjaro? I get they would need to take out green lantern most likely if they wanted to do a spike or extend the layout but I’m not a fan of taking out a coaster and not replacing it. Uncertainty fills the air with this park

    • @coastersandbrews

    Cedar Fair execs, who now have the majority in the company don't want Cedar Point out done. They also would like to hurt intamins portfolio with their horrible relationship. That's all this is. Also the $1M operating costs could be split into the pockets of the 3 top people evenly, F*cking over their entire audience who has made these people who they are but benefitting all 3 of them.
