The most important quote from the article:

The site will not be operating as an amusement park in the future. Instead, redevelopment plans around the future of the site will focus more on entertainment and mixed-use development, such as restaurants, retail and housing.

If anyone was still holding out hope, there it goes. RIP

Curious if any other rides are going to be relocated or if Great Adventure got everything they're moving, is it too late to still move things off the land?

That's definitely the million dollar question right now—what does the turnover look like? Are there things Six Flags has to demo or remove from the site (especially licensed IP stuff)? Are there things they still want? Lots of questions.

If you watch the YouTube video from Urban explores, Flying Carousel was being taken apart.

BTW thanks to Zachary for fixing thread title.

Flying carousel is already confirmed to be going to Great Adventure this season, so no surprise there.

I asked the Brian Knoebel if they were interested last October in saving the Wild One and he stated that they were not interested right now. They were talking about getting the switchback coaster from Texas.

I know it's not a realistic option, but let a girl dream, huh?

I would love to see it saved. I was 31 years old and was the full time park electrician that did the commissioning of the control system after they did the re-tracking and profiling.

"Focus on Entertainment and mixed use" might also leave open the possibility of something being saved though I would think water park related would be far more likely then anything from the dry side.

I thinking that if this is focus on enetertinament and mixed use, I can see something like that statefarm stadium entertainment complex from Arizona (you can keep the water park but anything else is that, not to mention that guy is part of nba)

I have seen a lot of FB posts on this, and A LOT of commenters did not catch in the articles what @Zachary pointed out that this will not be the park reopening and have chose to argue with people that "we don't really know" or go into full denial mode and the park reopening is only a matter of time (while also ignoring the fact that Six Flags is strip mining the park).

I can see it becoming something with an E-gaming arena. IIRC Durant is involved in the Baltimore arena and I know they wanted to do that at one point.
