Interesting post that I saw today:

Looks like a number of Trans Studio Mini parks are closing in Indonesia. All of them have a Vekoma model 247m Family Coasters (similar to Rookie Racer at Six Flags St Louis), and these look to all be up for sale, among other rides. A lot of these date back to 2017 or newer, so these are less than ten years old and could live out a healthy life in other parks as long as they are in good condition. Saw another one up for sale here.
My take (entirely my opinion): Six Flags is in the position to pick up a few of these if the price is right, as they have a few aging kiddie coasters in the chain that could be replaced. Maybe even Herschend, which now has a handful of parks and could buy in bulk to fill out some of the smaller parks they just acquired (Idlewild, Dutch Wonderland, Story Land, and Lake Compounce, etc; Wild Adventures and Kentucky Kingdom already have a similar model). Thoughts? Could we see any of these come to the States?
