Day 9

Sorry, I got my wires crossed.  Six Flags New England.

Swat is being loaded onto trucks as it is being taken down.
Dungeon Drop: All the control cables are disconnected from the PC room, they are being disconnected at the tower. This will take several days.

Arcades games were being loaded today.

I really appreciate this thread even though it's so sad.  I'm really curious about what will become of XLR8 if anything.

I understand that the Cyclone is destined for the scrap heap. Unbelievable.

I'm one of the regular posters on the GAdv forums. We are getting a new ride for next year with El Toro yes. And the footprint matches that of SWAT, which can be seen here: http://www.gainsider.com/files/093005-eltoromap-big.jpg

We've never had official confirmation other than a rumor that SWAT was coming, and apparently it wasn't to be. Makes you wonder what the new ride is, though..

And since I'm posting here now.. is there any word of ANY rides coming to Great Adventure from Astroworld?

Warp 2000 is arriving at SFOT as part of their 10-piece "family package" next year, under the new moniker "Crazy Legs."  Looping Starship and Runaway Rickshaws will be arriving also, as "Rock-N-Rocket" and "Sidewinder", respectively.
