Six Flags America - Farewell Tour 2025

The kids on Reddit have found three rides for sale :

• Harley Quinn Spinsanity (the big gyro swing) - https://www.amusement-rides...y-zamperla
• Rajin' Cajun' (Zamperla spinner) - https://www.amusement-rides...r-zamperla
• Not sure of name (Zamperla Nebulaz, new last year) - https://www.amusement-rides...z-zamperla

In some ways it's a bit of a head scratcher that with so many parks they don't have homes for these, or maybe they do but flipping them for whatever they are going to get for them I the priority ?

Interesting to see that Six Flags is trying to sell the rides rather than relocating them to parks within the chain that need them! But again we don't know yet which parks will eventually close and they need money. With the new CEO starting Monday, I guess within a couple months some news will come out on that matter.

The Nebulaz is a surprise - partly because it’s basically new, partly because I’m not aware of many other parks in the chain that have one (I have not really been tracking tbh), and partly because they’re terrific rides. Lots of visual appeal, not too scary for kids, enough thrill for teens and adults. That one could go just about anywhere.

I'll take that Nebulaz at Kings Island, please. The footprint is about a 60 foot wide circle, and some switchbacks. It could go almost anywhere, but I'd like to see it somewhere in Coney Mall.

The Nebulaz was definitely the surprise for me, they are obviously(?) going to build attractions of a similar scale at some of their parks in the not too distant future so to sell off what is basically a brand new ride for a fraction of what it cost before buying something new for one of their parks ... I don't get it.

Given the removal of rides to reduce operating costs in the last 2 years, and the concerning debt levels today, it does not surprise me that they want to sell these assets. There are some left in the company that still feel they have too many rides and need to eliminate more (I'm waiting for that shoe to drop this off-season as to what rides are not returning in 2026...)

It also is not surprising when you consider the the playbook legacy Cedar Fair was known for: pool capex dollars for a big, impactful area renovation at one or two parks- the complete opposite of legacy six that wanted something new at every park every year. They are convinced that the former strategy worked better than the later.

Carowinds has one.

FWIW, All of those rides have been taken off of the resale site.

RCMAC:

Carowinds has one.

That’s the one I can think of.

That ride would be nice to move right up 95 to either Great Adventure or Dorney. It can't cost much more than the loss they'd take on selling it used I'd bet.

Especially since about half of Great Adventure is a desolate wasteland without Kingda Ka, Green Lantern. the parachutes, the Top Spin, the skyride, and who knows if the log flume is running on any given day.

Rumor is Great Adventures Log Flume is done for. They supposedly repaired it and during testing something else happened.

And Dorney removed a few flats that those areas could be repurposed for a new flat or two.
