But then again, what do I know?
Better run now, my friends from "The Garden State" are grabbing their pitchforks...;)
I'm among those that thinks it was part of the plan all along to take out Shockwave, not Whizzer.
Not sure I should have even brought this up (again) but I couldn't help myself!

anyway, it is sad to see it go. although i have too much of a sweet spot for Arrows, lol!!
Tim....who chides in once more how much he hates BGW for removing his beloved Drachen Fire, the greatest Arrow looper of all time :)
still trying to think of a good signature...
The fact that Six Flags ended up scrapping a 14-year-old ride speaks to the quality of Shockwave. Busch Gardens scrapped Drachen Fire in about half that time.

For CoasterBuzzCon Stephanie and I were driven around the perimeter of the park with one of their marketing guys. Shockwave was absolutely everywhere. And yeah, it seemed to have been well taken care of in its dismantling.
I had a chance to ride it. No big loss.

This is what has been said, and after examining the evidence below, I believe it.
Even if all of this is true, Six Flags still may have pulled a stunt if they decided to remove Shockwave prior to late July 2002. However, keep in mind that a Shockwave car lost an axle (without any publicity outside of enthusiast boards) in early August 2002 just before Whizzer was announced to be spared.
