Is the corkscrew leaving

I know, I know, this is speculation from basically a nobody...but does it make sense?

Check your calendar

Only one corkscrew is leaving?! I hope they keep the better one.

I heard they are going to give it the Steel Phantom treatment, removal of the inversions. The new ride will be called Corkscrew's Revenge, and have zero inversions.

wish it were true though. I know it's a good starter ride for young teens and such, but it HURTS your back and the sharp jolts make your jaw slam the shoulder rest. When I was 12 I rode for the first time and it hurt my back and neck. Wild mouse is a great new comfy family ride that the park needed and for kids starting out on coasters.

I say start em out on the Magnum. That's what we did back in my day, and we loved it that way.

I was privileged to be one of the first "general public" persons to see The Corkscrew. It was the spring before it opened, and I was up there for a school newspaper/yearbook conference. We were taken in small groups to the loading platform of the north Sky Rides station. An official explained how the trains would traverse the track. I guess we couldn't have figured that out on our own. He said he had no engineer on site that day but if he did, they would run some empty trains through. We were all given a real nice press kit for the coaster.

Was SkyRide running that day? Just joking, it sounds like a nice experience for you.

Corkscrew has such a small footprint I'd be very surprised if it goes anywhere for space-related reasons. That being said, it does seem like a good number of higher-complexity Arrows are starting to age out mechanically, though I don't imagine Corkscrew would have had nearly the amount of structural wear and tear as the later megaloopers that have all but vanished.
