Like Six Flags America?

So now where do all the GADV Defunct coasters go since astroworld is closed?

Theres soo much damage, it would be hard to salvage anything really. Such a shame. Alot of terrible things have happened this year in the coaster world.

The park will likely return. I'm just not sure its going to be 2006. And remember, they are self-insured so that doesn't really help much either.

Post by: DianaR on December 15, 2005, 06:07:37 PM: Get out! Is Ultra Twister really going to SFA? Now I need to make a return trip there if this is true. I wanted to ride it in it's modified form or, maybe it will suffer the same fate as The lightening loop half rotting away in a field :(
