I'm curious as to how recently you've been told, because I've heard things ranging from late January to literally day before the blog post was put out.

I don't think you are. I just stated my opinion and you yours. Just a guess/thought on my part.
Lol kd is losing the battle to bgw. Look like kd needs a bail out. Quick rename everything to monster jam
I think the “compromise” for now would be cut supports at the mountain facade and only take away parts of the ride that can be seen.
They’ll be taking down the mountain when they come

I could actually totally see this happening. Seems like a win-win for the park. Remove the immediate eyesore and allow the attraction to stay SBNO indefinitely while the park weighs its options.
Frankly, I think it's possible we'll still be seeing that yellow track for months (or longer) to come.
It will probably still be standing in some form through 2020 if they try and preserve the mountain. If it goes full wrecking ball maybe a replacement attraction will come 2021 at the absolute earliest.
Found this video tied to The Lost World - Volcano: TBC history. The video is pretty good and fairly accurate. The only thing not correct is about Mt. Kilimanjaro (Bayern Curve) flat ride. That was housed in a stand-alone mini-mountain. I think the ride opened with the park in 1975. When KD was building "The Lost World" mountain complex, the park added a small "mountain ridge" to connect with the back of Mt. Kilimanjaro to the main L W mountain complex. That gave the area a more unified look/theme.

This is very interesting news from a not-as-known KD fanpage. The only reason I bring it up is because KD Fanatics “confirms” the news, and they’re pretty credible.

I'm sure it will be a swift and successful sale like Hypersonic and Shockwave.
A car or two, or maybe a train and some signage will go. Other than that I doubt any park outside of China would be willing to pay for this ride.
Unless someone can provide a reasonable source, this sounds like a lot of bullshit if you ask me.
PS: Kings Dominion Fanatics is the same FB page that claims Kings Dominion building a launched B&M wing coaster for 2020. I don't think anyone in their right mind thinks that's an actual possibility.
