It's really sad to see all these previously rock-solid 90s-era B&Ms getting so old and increasingly unreliable all the sudden. Presumably the issue is only going to get (much) worse over the next decade too. 
Maybe the parks need to be more proactive about preventative maintenance and keeping replacement parts on hand. Since coasters seem to blow lift motors on a regular basis, keep spare parts on hand.
I think a lot of enthusiasts are going to be absolutely stunned by the amount of early B&M removals in the next decade. People were surprised by Green Lantern, when that was the logical next removal from Great Adventure and had few fans.
Presumably Rougarou is going to be next at Cedar Point, I know CCMR and Corkscrew are at the top of most people’s lists but Rougarou is in a prime location that’s already getting some redevelopment. Firebird and Patriot are likely in the same boat, and Flight Deck is almost certainly dying with CGA. Now that Lantern and Ka are gone, Medusa’s probably next at Great Adventure (years down the road).
I know we’ve only seen 2 defunct B&Ms up to this point, but there was a time when that was true for Arrow as well.

For the first time, Great White now has ride photos.
