That is actually a good point
The difference there is that not a single one of SFNO’s rides could actually be considered old, with the park having only been around for 5 years. The oldest I can think of would be Zydeco Scream, Batman, and Jester and they ranged from only 4-10 years older than the park.
 
It was initially also sighted heading west out of Harrisburg, which immediately means no Montreal. There's no situation where Ednor won the ball jump over Flight Deck anyways.

The situation is also weirder because these are 8-car trains and Flight Deck seats 10, which would ideally mean Frankensteining it together with four additional cars from Vekoma. Or the park can just not care and keep a shorter train anyhow. Flight Deck already has the slowest ops in the park.
 
This is a wild development if you ask me. That trio of rides in particular seemed absolutely prime for relocation in the chain—and it sure feels like the chain needs additions to market for 2026 if you ask me. All three of these attractions could easily slot in at a number of different properties in the chain. Not doing so feels almost silly to me. Bizarre choice.

Wonder if it's notable that they're all Zamperlas...? Maybe the chain is feeling really burned by them right now? 😋

The Discovery seemed like a lock for a park like Carowinds. That could have plugged in at a few different spots in the park, even if it sat in storage for a season. The Mouse was old and probably needs rehab work to make it last for a few more seasons, although it wasn't in terrible shape. The NebulaZ is low capacity but I could have seen that slot into any park with an open flat ride pad (like Dorney or SFNE).

More to the point, who's going to buy these?
