I just noticed auxiliary supports were added to the back of the tower. When and why?

ApolloAndy,
The extra supports were added for the drop ride Zuminjaro: Drop of Doom, around 2013/2014.
Wow, that thing is over 2X bigger than Son Of Beast. It's gonna be loud! I'm hoping they make it an event, and have top notch recording equipment.
They really should. *Come see the demolition of Kingda Ka! Only $99.99!*
Counting down the days until I'm back at Cedar Point, the one and only place to be.
That's actually a great idea to have an upcharge event for the implosion. Proceeds could go toward a charity.
