It's one of those "What the heck!?" moments that appear every once in awhile. I realize that Knott's is rather tight when it comes to space but this does not make sense. With DD being the last of its kind in America I wonder where all the spare parts are coming from. They should have used up most of Hyde's old parts by now. Magic Mountain just removed theirs a couple of years ago so this ride isn't anything new for SoCal. _________________ On September 21, 2007, a historic 119-year old amusement park had been secretly murdered.

Well, the ride should operate more in Buena Park as DD seemed to close if someone passing by was sweating (moisture on the track = bad).   Maybe they are freeing up the space to install Big Dipper...   _________________ http://rayp.smugmug.com

Why does it seem seem like every ride I really enjoy keeps getting moved!!! Like I sadi on PointBuzz, I  hate the fact that I have to travel all over the country to ride some of my favorite rides like the Dominator and Thunderhawk! I am still trying to recover from the loss of my home park of Geauga Lake!!!!!!! _________________ Life is like a rollercoaster. It is full of ups and downs!

We all know demon drop wasn't your favorite ride!!   And I'm pretty sure they aren't taking out woodstock express anytime soon, So your boycot can hold off atleast a couple more years.   lol I really liked demon drop the last couple years since they swapped over the stopping mechanisms from Mr.Hydes. It deffinatly seems like they are clearing that area out possibly for something. If the weather is not too bad, we make take a ride out sunday for a couple last rides.

I think they are up to something in that are too! They are selling that other ride Chaos! The part that doesn't make sense is why would they remove a ride that is a trademark of Cedarpoint and still gets ridership plus its 26 years old to move to another park? Wierd.. Just a thought... _________________ Life is like a rollercoaster. It is full of ups and downs!

Why would they waste time and money removing and relocating this antique ride. After all GL's was removed because it was obsolete and could no longer be repaired. CF, you make no sense in everything you do anymore. Just an old man showing his age I guess. _________________ GL's demise was caused by one mans foolish greed.

Ffejie, you don't understand, Demon Drop is like family!  Every year I went, I would ride it.  To lose this great ride is like losing Big Dipper.  For Cedar Fair to just not drop the bombshell that the ride is departing is unfair because I don't have a last chance to ride it!  I can't scrape up the money to visit this week or next week.  Why couldn't they make this announcement earlier so everyone could have had "one last ride". I'm so upset about this, I might have to call off work today! _________________ I don't like a certain company so everything they do MUST be wrong, even if it's right.  And that makes me look like a bigger fool.
