SFAW to close forever at the end of this year.

Where'd you hear this?

YOU LIE!!!!!

WHERE AM I GONNA GO RIDE ANOTHER HEARTLINE TWISTER??

Only three hours away... I have GOT to get down there by the end of the year...

Wow, this is sad... two Schwarzkopfs, a heartline, Texas Cyclone, SWAT... lots of good rides leaving.

EDIT: Here's a link:
SFAW Closing At End Of Year

I heard about this in my e-mail. I wish I could've made it there when I was in the area last summer.

Ok, so, it's not totally horrible. I mean, at least som of the rides will move to Splashtown hopefully, right?

Just the water rides, I think...

The rest will probably be split among other Six Flags parks.

[Hopes SFOT gets Ultra Twister]

^ha! They'll move pretty much all of it to SFMM just to keep the "most coasters" crap going.

Personally I hope the two remaining Schwarzkopf's and the Texas Cyclone get saved. The Cyclone to a smaller, possibly family owned park that would return it to it's former glory. Oh, who am I kidding, it's dead.

I was actually alluding to the old joke of how all the other parks send all their crappy coasters to SFAW. Because SFAW is basically a junkyard.

And btw, SFAW does have two Schwarzkopfs, a heartline, TX Cyclone (former #1 wooden coaster in the world), all of which I wouldn't call "trash."

Good job double posting, Mr. Administrator.

Also, doesn't it have the oldest operating suspended coaster on earth?

XLR-8, yes, I believe that's correct.
