Screamscape rumor of coaster removal

I think it would be CCMR or maybe wild cat. I really like wildcat, though. CCMR would not bother me as much if they removed it. That ugly box DT is behind should go, but they use it as storage, but it does block the lake, however. My sister worked DT and she really developed a liking for it and she would be upset if they tore it out. It wouldn't bother me as much, though.

Why does everyone think they'll take out CCMR? Don't most parks have a mine ride coaster? And, as such, wouldn't that suggest if they did remove it, it would likely be replaced by another mine ride coaster?

Additionally:

If you really want to "read the tea leaves", watch carefully how the rides are treated.

o Magnum XL-200 was just painted.
That was the kiss of death at Kings Island, but at Cedar Point it suggests the ride will be around a while.

o Gemini has been undergoing a 3-year program to replace all of the structural lumber.
This suggests that perhaps they are planning to get another 20 years out of the ride.

o Mine Ride has completed a 2-year program to replace all of the structural lumber. This suggests that perhaps they are planning to get another 30 years out of the ride.

o Wildcat has recently been equipped with an entirely new control system.

I wouldn't think that necessarily be the case. Probably as many parks have flume rides as mine rides (if not more). But when CP removed White Water Landing, it wasn't for another flume.

Not that I think they're removing CCMR anyway.

That's a good point. However, in the case of WWL, it had become a maintenance hog and hadn't received proper care in its waning years. That's certainly not the case with CCMR.
