$1 for rajun Cajun, any other bids?
Parting Out Six Flags America & Hurricane Harbor
- Thread starter CoasterBroCam
- Start date
The NebulaZ and Ragin’ Cajun certainly wouldn’t hurt at Great Adventure, and plenty of parks could use a Discovery. Definitely an odd decision here.
I really could’ve sworn RC was a Reverchon, RCDB also has it listed as such.Wonder if it's notable that they're all Zamperlas...? Maybe the chain is feeling really burned by them right now?
Is it possible Zamperla refurbished it when it was moved to SFA? The year they’re showing is when it was moved to SFA, and not when it was originally built.
RC is a weird one because that was the transition coaster in Reverchon's handoff of the model to Zamperla, so technically it's a Zamp but using the Reverchon design before they made their own changes (namely the cars getting lap bars).

Maybe it will stay in the region? Knoebels once kicked the tires on Steel Pier's model, but decided against it.

Is it odd that it's just these three rides up for sale so far? Maybe there's hope for the water coaster, Starflyer, and a few others?
Edit: I know the Starflyer was called out as a Dorney option in their surveys. Or maybe it's being parted-out?

To be fair they could have evaluated every ride for its maintenance condition and decided to scrap or part what they want(or for rides they need parts for)
Can we just take a moment to admire that one of the photos used for Steam Whirler comes from this news article?

Firefighters Rescue Passengers Stranded On Broken Down Six Flags Ride Saturday
Thirty-two people riding the Steam Whirler found themselves stuck for around an hour after the ride malfunctioned Saturday.

This is oy one broker and only recently posted. My understanding is multiple brokers looked at rides I would not be at all surprised to see more popping up other places.
If i had to guess, I'd say they're testing the market- If they sell for the price they want, they'll consider it a win. If they don't, they'll move them around the chain. Also a win.

I’m not too sure they were sold, sold listings on the website still show up, but these were taken off entirely.
That makes me wonder if the listing was even legit from Six Flags (or if someone from Six Flags jumped the gun, assuming/misunderstanding Corporate's intentions with these rides).

A "left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing" situation within SF Corporate sounds the most likely.

So I don't know if this is the real answer or not but I have seen two different reports from people who based on their published profiles likely have decent souring for what they are saying that the three rides listed were not actually SFA's rides but the same model rides and that the broker used sticj photos of SFA's rides that were publicly available to cover the listings till SF hit him with an order the remove them. This would seem to fit with prople pointing out that many of the pictures were identical to news article ones.

But the opening years were all dead-on for the attraction openings. I didn't see the Ragun' Cajun one but both the Discovery and BenulaZ were listed as 2021 and 2024, respectively. This would contradict that.
