So what's happening with the rides from SFA?
It's been a little less than half a year and we've seen no word on where the rides from SFA are going. I know not all of them can be moved, but besides the trains from Screamore, why hasn't anything else gone anywhere?
I know rajun' Cajun can be moved and there's a pretty new looking Zamperla discovery and Nebuluaz. I don't know about Superman, Jokers Jinx, or Firebird. And surely some of the other family & flat rides can be moved around, right?
Since nothing has been announced yet, when can we expect to see Six Flags say something?
Interesting timing on this post, because just this week parts from some of the rides started showing up at Six Flags Great Adventure to likely be repurposed as part of the Boardwalk project they announced. It sounds like Flying Carousel, French Quarter Flyers, and Ragin' Cajun are the ones selected for that park, so the question right now is when they'll be opening (conceivably all three could be ready to go by the first half of summer). SteamWhirler has also disappeared from the property, with unsubstantiated rumors it's being sent up to New England in order to complement Quantum Accelerator.
As for other rides at the property, from what I've heard...
-Harley Quinn Spinsanity and Wonder Woman Lasso of Truth are definitely getting relocated. Based on the surveys presented earlier this year, I'm suspecting Carowinds for the former and Dorney Park for the latter, likely as 2027/2028 projects.
-RipQurl Blaster is moving to a different waterpark in the chain (speculated to be Kings Dominion), but reinstallation will be a 2027 project.
-The vehicles from Minutemen Motors have been shipped out. It's unclear if they'll be building a new ride utilizing them at one of the parks or simply parted out to other properties that currently operate this style of attraction.
-The trains from Superman - Ride of Steel are confirmed to have been sent to Six Flags Darien Lake. The rest of the ride will be scrapped as it's not cost effective to relocate a coaster of this scale and almost every park in the chain already has a mega coaster of some sort.
-Joker's Jinx and Voodoo Drop are being parted out across the chain to properties currently operating attractions of the same make and model. Both of these are outdated models and would require extensive refurbishments to match current codes if they were to be moved.
-They're apparently shopping around Professor Screamore's SkyWinder as the ride was recently refurbished but isn't a good fit for relocation to any other park. The trains were moved to Canada's Wonderland and will be used on Flight Deck beginning this season.
-Great Chase is up for sale to any park that wants it, but might be repurposed if a buyer isn't found.
They're currently only about 60% of the way through the process of deciding which assets to retain for future use, so I suspect we'll have a much better sense what might be repurposed elsewhere in the chain once announcement season rolls around in August. For the most part, though, I can't see much not listed above being salvaged from the park (other than as a parts donor) and would expect anything else that lives on to do so outside of the chain.
