I hate to burst your bubble but I am pretty sure this is the exact ride we are getting:

Break dance 4, Breakdancer No.1 is an original.

TPR confirms they have been removed, Google shows an article from 2014 showing a death resulting from operations. I guess after the accident Holidaypark decided to close them and the picker found them.

Educated guess based on information supplied by Cedar Fair in news articles.

I am going back to the park tomorrow, if I see anything else, I will get some pictures. I think we are going to see an over haul of county fair next year, and with the markings all around boo blasters, maybe they are going to take it out or make a bigger dark ride perhaps? I will try to see what i can find tomorrow if I go into the regular park..

Would absolutely love to see County Fair get the Gemini Midway treatment, it needs it. Though I am hoping the Music Express will find it's way into the Boardwalk.

I doubt Boo Blasters is going anywhere, but let's be honest for a second. It's really not that great of a dark ride. I don't think I've ever had a gun that worked properly and several effects haven't worked in a while. Maybe Boo Blasters could use a (Triotech? :wink: ) overhaul as well...

Good luck finding a possible place to put the Musik Express in Boardwalk without moving the borders....
The only place I can find may barely be big enough, next to Pier 73 and infront of the bathrooms. Unless Cobra has been moved to the Boardwalk....

I actually see the Troika going in the mini golf area. The top scan I see somewhere in thrill zone, maybe near the drop tower. Musik express I see in TR's space. The Breakdance yes in Planet Snoopy ugh. We all know wear the wave swinger is going.

Doubtful, unless more of existing rides are removed. Break dance for example takes up a 50 to 65 feet circle. Musik Express is 75 feet diagonally from a front corner to the back. None of these rides are compact flat rides, they are all medium sized. Top Scan is a 75 feet rectangle.
I am surprised no one has taken the rides from Canada's Wonderland, Great America, Kings Island(or KD,CP, etc) and Dorney and Photoshopped them over the County Fair.....

Its very possible . . .

I think at least 2 of the rides will go in county fair, hopefully not all 5 go there just to keep everything spread out. I didn't see any out of the ordinary markings anywhere else other than right in front of boo blasters when I went yesterday, didn't really look anywhere else. Havent really used the main entrance now that the water park has its own... but my friend said they saw some holes being dug? Anyone else saw this?

I think there is room in county fair but not as it is. Southern Star creates a bottleneck. Moving it to a better spot will open up the middle of the area and then you can place rides around it. Also I think the bumper cars are history.
