The article has been updated to say the ride has already reopened, I think this is a bit of a non-story (although still a little bit concerning).

Dismantling update: https://www.facebook.com/share/1CguNRepHV/

It's 62m (203 ft) tall so the World's tallest wing coaster.

Indeed. My 5 year old now has a coaster count of 56; I was 18 when I got to that number. My 3 year old is on 21, and my 1 year old just has one credit so far but I'm sure she'll catch up!

I think you might be confusing what you have read here with what you have read on other social media channels, it's relatively respectful here. Speculation is inevitable in the wake of any disaster, people want to know the cause and share any and all ideas about all possibilities. I suggest you...

AF1 is about half way dismantled now: https://www.instagram.com/p/DePK9PxDuxP/?srtk=dTRwcmY2eHZ3N3Br

Well Wildfire certainly feels more like a steel hybrid than a traditional wooden coaster so I kind of agree not putting it in with the wooden poll. However the lines between steel and wood are getting so blurry now that I feel like it makes more sense just to have a single poll/rankings.

Lost Continent is pretty much gone now, there's an enormous hole in the middle of the theme park: https://www.facebook.com/bioreconstruct/posts/pfbid02kxhiMpY6GR9BefFhCgcp3om4HLh5qzAGwyquWnsdm2umBkTYriVh4oJqQYF327Bul The iconic Mythos Restaurant is soon to be history too, with a boom already...

I always enjoy seeing poll results, so hats off to the people who put in the hours to make them happen. It's obviously hard work because still nobody has emerged as the "new Mitch Hawker", different people seem to do different polls each year. Anyway, ballot submitted, looking forward to seeing...

Haha I'm not sure if this is intended to prove or disprove the point, since that theming all got removed pretty quickly

With this talk of renovating Superman I can't resist cracking out the good old 2018 six Flags survey video: https://youtu.be/CCnXwtLr718?si=vvkVmLlIRMjTp0Su This is obviously a deranged layout but it at least shows they have thought about it, even before the original closed.

As an engineer I like seeing the nuts and bolts. I much prefer this to some of the over-themed trains out there like Cu-Chulainn or Wildcat's Revenge. Personal taste I suppose.

Yeah I am wishfully thinking along similar lines - the announcement was specifically that "X2 is closing after nearly 20 years" - no acknowledgement of the original X. I thought this kind of leaves the door open for a second major refurb to X3. On my one and only ride I was quite shocked at how...

Now at it's maximum height: https://www.instagram.com/p/Dd7IssDtR1j/?stkn=MWVyZHUybXgxcTQyMA== It looks big, is this the World's first hyper B&M wing? Thanks @FOMO Coaster ! Edit: more here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Dd6z96mNq1f/?stkn=MThnM3QwdXVna251bA==

I feel for the guy, I really do. It must be awful to lose your home of 11 years and know that it's going to be torn down. Being a tenant he's not getting any benefit from the inflated prices that Universal have presumably been paying the home owners. However I feel like the media is trying...

Some great aerial photos have been shared by Parkverse on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/share/1C1Qoq25Xp/

Yep, the first bits of track are off: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19bj3VW4LQ/

It looks like work may be beginning on dismantling AireForce One: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19axhknisQ/

Day 4 – time to head home, but first one more stop. Yes it was a ridiculously short amount of time to spend in the USA but real life and responsibilities beckoned for us all so we headed back to Pittsburgh but of course no self-respecting enthusiast can pass though this city without a stop at...

The outdoor track is going up today: https://www.instagram.com/p/DdY-4hSgkvM/?stkn=MWw3M3pydTJqNzJjcQ== https://www.facebook.com/share/1MCrg6Pa34/
