Will it be replaced with a new thrill ride for 2022 then? Or will this just be removed for green space?The legendary Vertigo ride at Tivoli Gardens has closed for good.
Vertigo
Vertigo is the wildest and fastest interactive ride that has ever operated in Denmark. It is the closest you can get to flying a real plane, and you can even control it yourself as the pilot.www.tivoligardens.com

I'd be surprised if it gets a replacement, the ride and queue didn't take up much space. On a personal note I'm gutted I didn't ride it when I had the chance as the queue was too big. Same as I did with the Blackpool Mouse 11 years ago.
Never pass a weird ride and not go on it.

Looks like it's now confirmed that Thriller has been scrapped:
Shame it was unable to be saved but like Knightmare, it can't have been in good condition having been in storage for as long as it was.

Government of the State of Aguascalientes Newsletter.
′′ In compliance with the commitment to be an open and transparent administration, the controller of the State of Aguascalientes, Arnoldo Hernández Gómez Palomino reported that the State Government obtained nine million 50 thousand pesos, the result of the auction derived from the published call for the disposal tendering of mechanical games declared as scrap metal.
Hernández Gómez Palomino announced that 26 companies registered in this call, of which only 16 submitted an economic tender.
The controller pointed out that the award was for a company based in Aguascalientes, which offered the amount with which it could now avail itself of the auctioned material."
MAJOSE RECYCLER was the winner of the bidding
It's a company dedicated to selling industrial waste for recycling.
After staying 5 years stored in San Marcos Island, we already know the fate of the roller coaster and I think this is how far the story of one of Schwarzkopf's most iconic roller coasters.

^Texas Giant, Mean Streak, Georgia Cyclone, Timber Wolf, Wolverine Wildcat, Thunder Run and Predator. Never had the chance to ride Raging Wolf Bobs, Hercules or Psyclone (the only woodie with Mack trains). 
Not only glad I got to ride and film it three different times (7 rides in total), during the CF Live I got to control it as well. I think it went to programmed mode only from 2010 on, if I remember correctly.

...Huh. Didn’t except it to go away that soon.The legendary Vertigo ride at Tivoli Gardens has closed for good.
Vertigo
Vertigo is the wildest and fastest interactive ride that has ever operated in Denmark. It is the closest you can get to flying a real plane, and you can even control it yourself as the pilot.
It was the single most terrifying ride I’ve ever experienced and I swore it off after my one and only ride anyway, but this surprises me still.

Somebody wouldn't allow me to mess with the controls in 2009 as he wanted the programmed cycle - I'm sure I remember causing havoc with the controls on a ride in 2013, but I'm prepared to believe I wasn't actually accomplishing anything.
Either way, it was far and away my favourite ride at Tivoli and will be missed.

I'm not surprised about Vertigo, I remember being genuinely shaken after getting off that thing, not quite sure if I'd been the victim of a horrible ride malfunction or if that really is what it's supposed to feel like.
I second this, it was vile, I (stupidly) lost all the change from my pocket too but managed to save the hotel room key!
Another victim of the "Rides named Vertigo" curse. At least this one operated for a full decade before its early demise. Others haven't even made it to completion.

Hmm... I spent a while trying to find the similar picture from the other trip, but sadly without success.
If I remember correctly, it wasn't a hugely comfortable ride to wear a poncho on as it kept wrapping around my face - and for reasons best known to my former self, it looks like I spent a fair amount of the morning wearing somebody else's sunglasses...
And yes, the park will be

Apparently, the front left running wheel on car 6 of El Toro exploded.
