Screamscape has "confirmed" with Silver Dollar City that Buzzsaw Falls will not be open for the 2004 season. The ride will be removed for a new attraction that will open in 2005.
Silver Dollar City recently removed the attraction from it's website. *** Edited 3/12/2004 8:39:46 PM UTC by Dukeis#1***
Blimey! Isn't Buzzsaw falls SDCs biggest attraction (and the 1st example of a Water Coaster ride). Why would they remove it? Maintenance woes? Do they really need the room/money that badly? If it's true and it isn't being removed for mundane reasons, we can only hope its replacement is going to be very exciting indeed.
Best,

Maybe, hopefully, they realized that they would rather have a bigger, better water coaster. I know it's wishful thinking, but dammit I never got a chance to ride BSF.
I guess I was just impressed by riding a boat on rails, LOL...:)
You still have Zoidberg.... You ALL have Zoidberg! (V) (;,,;) (V)

Now the park has confirmed it. Weird....I wonder what the real reasons are....was it unpopular? Or not popular enough to justify the upkeep?
I believe like +Danny said, the ride was costing more than the park felt it was worth. SDC is a park that invests thousands into rides that most parks would never put up with, so obviously it must have been trouble.
Maybe some of the local SDCers can put up more information.
Wasn´t this ride just five years old? Thats not much. Premier has only sold a smaller version to Scandinavia. I don´t know if they have any problems with this ride, though.
I guess that Mack and the Intamin Aqua Trax will be the new standard for water coasters. (even if the Intamin ride is not even a real water coaster.)
Fate is the path of least resistance.
