I heard on the radio and confirmed on WTAM 1100 in Cleveland Vertigo is being removed immediately. Also being the removed is the one at Knott's. www.wtam.com has the story. Thought I'd let everyone know.

Sadness :(
If they were to build a new one, why would they take the one down at Knott's as well? They would both have to be defective...

According to the park, the rides are both going for good. Hopefully, we'll see something else move in, but probably not this year. I only wish I would have got to ride it....

I don't think VertiGo leaving is even close to the same level as Fascination's departure, IMO. Sure it's bad news, but it was only there for a short time. Fascination was a 45-year tradition.

Well, now we may all have another reason to visit Magic Mountain. Seriously, this must be a big loss for Cedar Point. I doubt they made the income to pay off the ride's orginal construction costs.
does anyone think six flags might capitalize off of this, and put a vertigo type ride at six flags ohio or whatever the heck it's called now. Considering some peope in this area rode it and loved it. I'd go to six flags then to ride it, i'm sure a half a million people would follow me too........
