Do-Dodonpa closed

The only worthy successor would be another S&S launch coaster but modern in my opinion, but I get why they'd not want to do that, S&S reliability is so bad.

I'm gutted as like many I never got to ride, but maybe they will replace it with something more dynamic. Intamin multi Launch ? Pretty please ?

And thus marks the end of the S&S Thrust Air model

At this point in time the station has been put into the ground. Chopping up the rest of the coaster should be a major operation, lasting the next six months. Fuji Q's been kind enough to communicate a schedule of what will be closed and when in order to accommodate demolition;

Wave Swinger, Teacups - October 1 - December 16

Sky Journey (suspended coaster) - October 18 - November 27, December 13 - March 14

Sky Cycle - October 18 - November 27

Red Tower - December 13 - March 14

Nagashimasuka (rapids ride) - January 8 - March 5

PaniClock - February 24 - March 20

I don't suspect many goons will be planning trips around these misses, but here they are. Have attached a quick visualization of where everything is around Do-Dodonpa;
