Hard to imagine, I know, but SFKK has gone even further downhill, which is somewhat of an accomplishment.
They're removing Chang and shipping it somewhere unknown at this point. This follows the removal of Hellevator following it's accident, loss of the Dragster upcharge attraction, and the closing of the entire back of the park including their shoot-the-chutes (or was it rapids?), a flat or two, and the Twisted Twins woodies. This leaves them with the original SLC hang 'n' bang, a Schwarzkopf shuttle loop, some family coasters, and Thunder Run, which only runs one train.
This place was utterly craptastic in 2006 with all of the above there, aside from the Dragster ride. Sure, Chang's a standup so not the greatest of B&Ms, but it wasn't that bad, and like Mantis has a pretty interesting layout. Easily their best full-circuit steel coaster.
It should be interesting to see where this goes. SFGrAdv doesn't have a standup, and it would be their 5th B&M. SFA doesn't have a B&M and hasn't had anything new in forever, so it could work there. The one I keep hearing is SFGrAm, which has the first B&M standup Iron Wolf. I've heard various rumors there - that Chang would get floorless trains and Iron Wolf would stay, possibly with Chang's trains. Others are that Chang would replace iron Wolf, although not in the same location.
If Iron Wolf gets scrapped, wouldn't that be the first Beemer to have that happen? Of course it's the very first one, so I guess it'd be fitting. That'd leave the two Vortexes as the oldest ones running.
