Robert, as part of your summer road trip I know you are on your way to BGW, so whatever you do on your tour of the park, do NOT miss riding the Big Bad Wolf. While not a state of the art coaster by any means, it is definitely a great ride for the whole family, and one that will be sorely missed by fans everywhere.

Here! Here!

Robert, please try to get some great shots of this soon-to-be-gone classic. I wept a little when the announcement was made.

I personally feel that the suspended coaster never got the acclaim it deserved. IMHO, no coaster style created the sensation of flight like suspendeds. There is a freedom, in the swinging sensation, that only they can provide. The inverted and flying coasters were the beginning of the end for the suspended style. We will start to see the remaining suspended coasters fall by the wayside as well.

I would love to see Disney or Universal try their hand at a themed version. This style is great for the whole family.

While a musician for the summer in the now defunct Festa Italiana Show in '89, I rode this ride TONS of times (as well as Nessy). It will be sad to see the Wolf go.....

BBW was alway a don't miss for me. The themeing of the ride was incredible, and if you were fortunate enough to ride after dark it was even better. Hate to see another good ride go away.

No! I love Big Bad Wolf! It was great because it weaved through the woods and the village, making riders feel integrated into the "story." I will miss it very much, since it was a wonderful ride in a gorgeous park.

I will mthe BBW it was a great family ride and my kids enjoyed it when they were small. Cedar Fair owns the last three of these type coasters and manages to maintain them. KD will soon be my favorite park in that area with BBW gone.

How about as a replacement, a Dark Ride celebrating the world of the Brothers Grimm? Can't get more German than that, and the setting of that area with the trees, etc would really lend itself to something like that. Even if you had to tack on a thrill element like the nearby Escape from Pompeii, a trip through the bizarre fairy tale worlds of Grimm could be creepy enough to satisfy adults, but not too scary that kids wouldn't get too scared. Something like the Haunted Mansion.
