Thursday the Fair Board approved an agreement that requires Six Flags to turn over all but one of its rides at Kentucky Kingdom. The Fair Board would pay Six Flags more than $2 million, and the company would also be forgiven overdue rent and back taxes.

I figured it would be the mouse. Looks like a portable version, so it could easily debut next year during the company's 50th.
I hope they work out a deal with Mr. Hart. I think if he invested some cash into refurbing the park, painting, making it look better, and getting all the rides up and running, it could go back to being a decent little park.
I enjoyed my 1 visit, but it needed a lot of work.
Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.
If Six Flags ran it correctly, they could push over 700 guests an hour on it, which is similar to a 2 trains GCI coaster. I rode the Rattlesnake at Chessington, which is the same model as Road Runner Express and I was impressed! Little braking, so those turns were intense and those guys were getting the cars out of the station with impressive speed.
My guess is its going to Great Escape. They need a Wild Mouse to fill the empty Nightmare building.
Yeah, Vater, but it's also the one that's easiest to move and set up elsewhere and market for the cheapest price ;).
I think both sides got what they wanted. SFI is out of being responsible, and the locals can get on track to open their theme park up. Once the park is open, it's a win-win.

I'm curious what this means for Chang. Does SF have to return it, or are they off the hook with it already being dismantled?

Are there any trains on-site for Twisted Twins?
IIRC, the trains went to St. Louis.
