What a difference. So many memories with that parachute tower coming down. Remember seeing it first time i ever went in 2005, it was stark white and it was like an absolute beacon with loads of people going up and down different sides.
That's gonna be wild if they drop Ka in a controlled demolition. Watching 456' coming crashing to the ground is going to be crazy (and sad). Hard to believe how quickly the view from the front of the park will change.
six flags is really changing. first it was cyborg that got shut down i think because of the building flash. Eltoro go reconstructed because the track broke. log flume ride shut down. zumanjaro also shut down. Now it’s kingda ka, parachutes, twix, and green lantern 😢 I still love six flags tho
I had a dream about a ka replacement called keekeekaren a 594 ft tall monster that’s ka but 4 across seating purple track and yellow supports and the track is about twice as big
i agree. it looks better...for all the complaining now, I think Cedar Point has always wanted Great Adventure and I think they know its geography and size makes it a premier park, it has tons of potential. As they said, Kingda Ka is inefficient and outdated technology...This isn't a simple chain lift coaster. I am sure if there was something that upgraded chain lifts, most roller coasters would also upgrade the chain lift? Ka is a technical-reliant coaster. It relies on that launch. If you can make better rides now which are more efficient and techonlogically advanced...it might be an upgrade. Plus the recent press release stated "new heights", so who knows, maybe we are getting a reverse vertical launch up a spike that goes 460 feet high? Tallest coaster in the Eastern Hemisphere, Fastest coaster in the world???
but I also think, record breaking coasters that hold the record for so long, do not deserved to be torn down. If anything give it the dragster treatment. But don't take that piece of history and engineering marvel away. In fact I'd keep the hydraulic launch and just upgrade the park everywhere else so that you can cover the losses for Ka.. I'd do that until parts were no longer available. Ka should never be torn down. Since its likely gone, I hope whatever they replace it with is cool. But I would put two green lights every night, at the base of both sides of the tophat, even if for a final hour before closing, as an homage to Ka.
So with ka, are they going to get rid of the whole thing or leave the top hat is what I wanna know cause if they just get rid of the launch and the airtime hill into the brakes. I’ll be fine. I just still wanna experience going over that top cause ka is only two hours away from where I am. I don’t wanna have to go to tt2 in Ohio, that would be a long ride.
If I were Richard Zimmerman, I would keep Green Lantern and have it get rethemed to the Riddler instead of tearing it down. Also I would have Intamin reimagine Kingda Ka. I don’t mind Zumanjaro nor the parachute getting teared down cuz those were bad rides!
Six Flags Great Adventure will build a new roller coaster called Martian Manhunter: The Coaster that was build by Bolliger & Mabillard. It will be the hulk clone coaster.

Its been changed forever my god,im not ready for ka to be gone from the skyline😭
I'm definitely going to miss Kingda Ka and Zumanjaro a lot. Definitely LONG LIVE KINGDA KA.
Brrrrr I felt the cold in your voice. Thanks for your sacrifice with this update.
LONG LIVE THE KING!
5 excavators sitting back there just waiting..Safe to assume Ka demo should be starting by the 1st of the yr
Damn next year won’t be the same in my opinion. Thanks again for the video Colin!
Big fan of green lantern sad to see.
LONG LIVE THE KING!! RLLY EARLY!
I can’t believe how quickly they tore it down since November.
Great Adventure without the Parachutes in the skyline looks so wrong
Most of Green Lantern is gone. This is just crazy
Its crazy to think that I just rode lantern a month ago, and now most of it’s gone. Sad to see it go.
Yeah
I never got to ride either of these. Maybe I rode Parachutes once. But very saddened to see 😭
I guess if the drop Ka in a similar fashion they will probably aim it towards that blocked off area in the parking lot.

Demolition Green Lantern In The Snow ❄️🎢

APPRECIATE THE SAME DAY UPLOAD/UPDATE COLIN 🔥🫡
casually seeing my car in the video lol
Wow look how much space this creates……I’m expecting something massive to replace it
Where did the Parachute tower land after it fell?
Are they gonna upload ka or our they just gonnna take the track down
I saw parts of green lantern still standing today but they still haven’t gotten everything yet
All that’s left is the station, lift/drop and first loop
@@ColiwoodStudios it will be missed
I was here today and got 3 rides on wonder woman
They’lo be long missed
There's something to be said for the uncluttered look. Simpler, peaceful.

Alright that’s enough haha!!
I’m literally trying to go to six flags to grab a piece of kingda ka bamboo from the parking lot
I wouldn’t do that
Looks like there going to remove Twister next
Yeah 😕😢
According to who?

It depends on what the alteration in the permits refers to
@ OK thanks I’m a big fan of ka so is my dad
It is so sad to see it go
the ride is completely getting demolished, it says alteration because the footers are staying for some reason.
@vrryan6 i hope they use the same footers because the replacement will be around the same size
Is superman open
No
If I were Richard Zimmerman, I would keep Green Lantern and have it get rethemed to the Riddler instead of tearing it down. Also I would have Intamin reimagine Kingda Ka. I don’t mind Zumanjaro nor the parachute getting teared down cuz those were bad rides!
A little late for that though. 90% of Green Lantern has been scrapped already.
Bad take! Zumanjaro is the best of the bunch being torn down. It is/was the tallest fastest and best drop tower in the world.
Definitely wont be coming here next year.

What are you talking about?
