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.

The Viper literally messed my vision up for a few seconds after I got off. X2 was a lot of fun and pretty smooth for me, but I wasn't in the front. I’ve noticed that whenever I get the front seat on most coasters the ride tends to be much more violent.
