Removing a Ride?

Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.
Postby Cove26flags on November 25th, 2005, 1:18 am
I started to think about the closing to Astroworld today and thaught about the rides and where they're going. I then remembered they have a Ride Trade Giant Drop Tower, any ideas on how they can remove that it seems impossible?

They un-screw the bolts holding the tower pieces together and using a crane, they take the pieces off one at a time.

Don't believe Screamscape until you see pieces of it in SFSt.L's Parking Lot.

It would suck scraping rides. Transferring them to other parks would be even worse!

Why would saving the ride and introducing riders to something they may not have otherwise have a chance to ride suck even worst than scrapping a ride? :?

[quote="coasterkid94"]^ We all know Screamscape isn't always right. :lol:[/quote]

You guys keep saying this, however, last year i kept a log of all of the things that Screamscape said about new attractions for last year. I didn't write down the stuff that Lance (the guy who runs the website) found to be far fetched, but i wrote down everything else. To my surprise, what is written on that sight is not wrong as often as everyone says. They will probably be right about the tower going to SFStL.
