he used big words

If taking a ride down for a full year to refurbish it isn't thinking about the longevity of the ride, I don't know what is.  You don't close a star attraction, just to mess it up, and tear it down soon after.  Let's think things out a little bit more before we proclaim things.

Also, these co-signing posts that serve no purpose other than to say "me too" and raise up post counts need to stop.

Isn't twisted twins apart of the waterpark expansion?

I like to think that Cedar Fair is trying to figure out what they can transform that massive pile of lumber into instead of rushing to tear it down or reopen it and eventually have to close it again when the next "incident" occurs.

As for the Giant, I am very curious what the thinking is there. Putting G-trains on it seems (to me) to negate the whole point of refurbishing it to make it more enjoyable for riders. I'm sure it all comes down to $$$$. :-/

Yeah, that's interesting too. I'd be surprised if it ever opened again. I won't miss it. Perhaps they are just waiting to pay for its demolition when it becomes absolutely necessary.

No.  Twisted Twins were fantastic coasters.  But, like all CCI's they required maintenance.  Lots and lots of maintenance.  Something the old Six Flags was not always the best at.  See also Villain at Six Flags Worlds of Adventure (and how it rode in the end) or MegaZeph... (or, different ownership...Cheetah, Hurricane at Pavilion, and on and on, some would even say Boulder Dash....)
