Voor degenen die nog steeds een lichte twijfel hadden, Tony Clark, de Director of Communications van Cedar Point, bevestigt in deze blogpost dat Wicked Twister gesloopt gaat worden:
The train is already off and crews are disconnecting everything. Power, controls, linear induction motors, sensors, etc. In a few weeks, full demo will begin.
For clarity, Wicked Twister is not being reincarnated as a new ride at any of our sister parks; it’s not coming back to life as a climbing structure (although, wouldn’t that be amazing to climb the spike like we used to do as kids when playgrounds had big climbing structures??); it’s not being inserted into Maverick’s layout to bring back the heartline roll.
It’s being disposed of. Not coming back, anywhere.
Since it’s a rarity to remove coasters, I’ll show you things that are happening throughout the process. Just follow me on Twitter, as I may post photos there faster than I can get them on the blog.
