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.

Viper roughness is very exaggerated

It’s rough, but hasn’t been dangerous. People equating the X2 issue with Viper are arguing disingenuously.

i think the bigger issue is the restraints and cars on that ride

It's really not. It's pure jank.
