I'm not gonna pretend I know anything about it but I've heard they have useable land near the park.

What I understand from the property line the majority of the owned land not developed are the wetlands. It can be seen from Canyon Blaster. The majority of unused usable land is a chunk near the picnic ground which is not easily used.

But let's not get too far off the topic of Bobsled.

Don't get me wrong I enjoy the ride but in 15 or so trips I have made to the park The coaster has only been open for maybe a 5th of them and most of them were in 2005. Yes, it's unique and yes it's very fun. but It's not fun to show up and have it down more then its up.

Yeah I get that.  I do think the locals are gonna take up arms if you try to remove it.  As long as its still useable (even if its down), I don’t see Six looking to buy a large scale replacement (GCI please) anytime soon.

I think a medium-sized family level woodie would be an easy replacement. another option is a mid-scale thrill coaster.

The closer could even be relocated if a park needs it. it would be great if it was at a park with less rain and fewer concerns about noise. it would be able to operate more often at that location.

I think we have a ton of viable options for that location.

Chance GTX Hyper, Raptor, GCI Woodie, etc.

I don’t know if I see AB being relocated with its age though.
