it looks like they are going for $100,000 each
not a bad price for a small park to pickup a thrill ride

I guess will will see in the next few weeks

GADVwow:
Cedar Fair tried to sell the one at Cedar Point last off-season and had no takers...

ChuckR:
I just don't get it how they tried all year to fix up Freefall at SFMM and finally opened it, while the one here at GADV just sat dormant for the last half of the year.

WadeJ:
Nobody will buy them.  They cost way to much to maintain and are hard to obtain parts for. 

Sadly Chuck, ours was closed most of the year because of the stupid policies put in place for when a ride needs a part, it must wait until next budget year (see teacups, ka's other 2 trains, etc.).  Once they convinced upper management this wasn't a good idea (probably through the support of our new GM), it was finally repaired and then had nobody to run it.  MM went through the same thing.  The main difference is they are open year round so they finally got the positions trained and filled once again.

The ride is still costing way to much to operate.  Unfortunately, I think they will just be torn down if there are no takers.

SilverBullet:
^Exactly.


Demon Drop's been for sale for how many years now?
