Should we be getting our rides in on leap the dips now?

The article says they’re keeping it and a few other rides.

Anything is an improvement compared to what that park was like before it closed. I am glad Leap the Dips and Skyliner will live to see another day though, they were both fun rides in an otherwise depressing park. And I love the way the Skyliner acts as a backdrop for the baseball stadium.

I just worry that a park that isn't doing well to this extent may not last much longer. Maintaining coasters is expensive obviously.

It'd be completely sustainable if Pepsi Refresh was still a thing.
