- Thread starter Python_Survivor
- Start date
A segment of track still lives in the Project Purple construction zone. Kind of surreal being able to see what was and what will be in the same picture...

Hopefully they repaint it and put it on display in a memorial somewhere like Alton Towers
I have to assume there’s a specific reason this segment stayed in the area rather than being sent to the boneyard like the rest of the ones they kept or to Klein Recycling. Only time will tell, I suppose.
Personally I haven't made 9/11 comparisons yet, but this state is riddled with twisted WTC steel beams rising out of random fields as municipal/county/state memorials. As far as a big building collapse and the visual parallels in memorializing, they have a fine line to walk !
Yknow what, I respect the dedication
He’s so distraught over Ka closing almost 2 years ago that he thinks it’s 3 words.
If he’s so distraught about a large intense Intamin coaster, he should try Pantherian at King Da Minion.
I’ve been sitting here thinking about what the hell he could possibly be protesting for like the past hour. I’m just imagining a lone person standing in front of the entrance sign on 537 looking INCREDIBLY upset, occasionally yelling something incoherent about hydraulic launches.
was thinking about heading down to Jackson to show some support but it seems they started sending Dave actual death threats. Toxic positivity is real and I hope he gets the apologies he demands
Paid actor protestor hired by competitors to sully Six Flags good name and sow chaos.
I call dibs on photoshopping a Minion under Ka’s tower. I’m getting a haircut rn but I need to claim this joke before someone else does it
God entered into my body like a body my same size
as far as timing goes need I remind u all there WAS no opportunity to protest before?? maybe this is cathartic for my fellow mentally ill friends

There was enough time for me to hear the rumors of its demise and make a trip to the park for the sole purpose of getting some final rides on it; there was enough time for others to hear the rumors and stage a protest. There was also time after the closure was obvious, or announced, before the actual demolition took place.
