Still unsure of what caused one of VertiGo's three towers to fall, Cedar Point and Knott's Berry Farm are getting rid of VertiGo. The press release indicates that the relationship with S&S Power, the ride's manufacturer, is still "strong."
Read more from WKYC.
I rode it 2 times at KBF and it was immediately my favorite thrill ride even toping Big Shot on Strat. It was a great experience and I will always remember it.
It is good to know that the relationship between S&S and Cedar Fair is still strong.
Now ocmes the next set of rumors...what KBF will replace VertiGO with...
-----------------
KBF Net - Coming Soon!
Sad day for thrill riders.
Personally, a slingshot would make a welcome replacement.

"Some kind of haunted walkthrough attraction?"
Let's not and say we did...
Actually, I kinda saw this coming. The tone that Stan had at Coaster Solace kinda gave away the fact that there might've been talk of removal. In the end, I can see why. When a ride collapses, you don't want to chance it happening again! So I'm sure there are good reasons for the removal, but it is sad to see it go.
And especially at Knott's, I'm sure whatever they chose to do there next will be very worthwhile. But good lord, let's not bring back an attraction that didn't bring in any guests in the first place!
