tear down begins august 6

It is sad to see another Cedar Point coaster close and being removed mid season, the first being Wild Cat to make way for the arena entertainment plaza thing, and now this, however I am sure the 2013 Wing Coaster will be a good replacement based on previous installments.

Dark rides never come out well on POV. From the pictures, This does look good though.

That is very true Thekingin64, it still looked quite good though from the pov.

aug 5 layout of deconstruction interior of ride removed theming

aug 6 ride fenced off from park steel sheers cut through exterior shell

aug 7-13 ride cars removed and shipped to texas roller coaster museum

aug 14-16 4 ton part of track shipped to texas museum

aug 17-20 concrete footers removed



this is a rough estimate of the deconstruction of disaster transport

I never knew Texas had a Rollercoaster Museum.

Unless it's the same one, There's another in Florida somewhere.

i had no idea until they had a q&a about the deconstruction

i think if cedar point were to get another roller coaster a skyloop would be perfect
A:small size
B:easy install
C:easy record breaker
D:There is no coaster like it that has been in the park
