Attraction Scorpion

I meant, specifically, for Scorpion.

That said, Kumba and Montu are both getting up there in age and, as we've seen, Kumba is requiring a ton of work lately. That's not cheap.

Well. Im expecting a major overhaul to Kumba to happen within the next few years.

And Montu, well…I don’t think Busch Gardens would close that ride (I hope) as its one of the most popular at the park

Based on what I’m hearing, there is a potential we may not see Scorpion reopen… but we will see. Only having one train does make this very challenging.

Scorpion is operational at the moment, we'll see how long that lasts.

Got 2 rides today, did the ride get new safety spiels recently? I never heard the old “Feel the sting of the scorpion” but instead audio with the new announcer. It was also running the smoothest i’ve ridden in a couple years. RIP

May she rest in peace.

while i didnt hold a sentimental place for scorpion, it was really fun when i rode it last november and became my 5th fave in the park (gwazi montu kumba cheetah scorpion sheikra tigris cobras grover). it was really fun and a damn smooth ride for being over 40 years old. i will miss it dearly, and for the time being its my fave schwarzkopf coaster (the only others ive ridden are new revolution and sooperdooperlooper which are both quite fun but dont do much besides the loop. scorpion's helix was awesome). the sting will always live on.

little ramble over but yeah im gonna miss this ride

From pictures on Facebook the park has already taken down signage and walled off the entrance.

Whatever the future of this area, the park is in no hurry. It looks like they turned off the ride and walked away. The train is still sitting behind the station. It can't be completely forgotten about as no weeds are present.

It's such a horrible look to have SBNO rides just sitting around like this. I know they'll probably save some money bundling the demo with whatever development they may or may not be planning, but honestly, especially given its size and prominence, it feels like taking it apart isn't that big an ask...

There’s a reason it hasn’t been demolished
