That is not good news for the Skyway at GADV.

From a very hopeful perspective, maybe we’ll get some parts and vehicles. 
 

This is one ride I truly don’t want to see us lose.

The 2021 Six Flags America park map is out and ZoomAzon Falls isn't on it.

That is a shame they are closing those down. The landscaping is nice.

Zoomazon Falls closing took me by surprise. I liked the setting and it seemed to get decent ridership during Hurricane Harbor season; frick it first opened up in 1982! I'm assuming maintenance issues led to it's closure.

I would have expected the ride from Six Flags America that was going to be removed would have been either Shipwreck Falls (it seems these Shoot the Chutes are gradually being removed); Batwing (well maintenance on that is a pain) or Penguin's Blizzard River (maintenance and it's just dull to me. Plus the water there stinks!).

I would say the ride with the biggest risk of being removed at GADV is sadly the Skyride as a similar model was closed at SFOG. It may be possible that an attraction over in HH could also be on the chopping block.

Screamscape has recent flyover footage from SFDK. Harley Quinn's Crazy Train still stands. Maybe its SBNO this year? I have no idea why Six Flags bothered with this addition. Superman right next door is a better ride, with a similar experience.

 

(Been a long time since I've logged in here. Don't know why, because I kept following GAH without pause).

I am surprised (but relieved) the bobsled didn’t get the axe.  

La Vibora in still looks to be popular (then again the ride is a capacity nightmare)

Any time a ride is no longer manufactured (Intamin hasn't made a bobsled in decades) there's a good chance it's on the chopping block. Add to that the limited operations of the rides due to weather and they become obvious candidates for removal. I expect one to be removed and the other park to get the spare parts at some point.
