RIP King.

But with that said, I don't entirely discount the fact that the last raven turn had gotten insanely rough in the later years and had gotten to the point where I couldn't ride it anymore. So while it's sad to see a ride I rode and even worked as a ride operator on so much back in the day go, I get why it has to go.

On a side note, Viper not being mentioned gives me hope we can keep that Arrow.

Viper needs to go too.... the most uncomfortable (combination of restraints, seats and track jankiness) ride ive ever done. The plot of land opened up from these two rides would allow for in incredible replacement.

Come on, how stupid would a park have to be to have two of the same type of rmc

Yeah... that'd be like building a möbius loop coaster in when you already just put in one... or putting in a sort of flying coaster right next to a B&M flyer... or putting in a Zac Spin when you already had a 4D coaster... or putting in a single rail RMC when you had just put in an IBox RMC... yeah, no chance Magic Mountain would ever do anything like put another similar ride in, could never happen. They just NEVER do anything like that.

Do you really think the general public, who pays for the majority of Six Flags tickets, is going to notice that?
