"Here’s a revelation, the tombstone behind the display is for Kazimierz Czarnecki, a researcher who studied “vortexes” in wind tunnel turbulence.
What ride do you think will be removed?#itsBIGitsGONE #RestinpiecesKI #RIP2018KI"

The photo shows the tombstone right behind all the flowers and stuff. Unless they always put that there every year I think we know which ride is going.

A really big hint for people who actually know who that is, which I assume the GP wouldn't really know or care.

I believe it will be Vortex closing down. It is a real rough ride and Arrow is out of business so getting replacement parts would be a nightmare. ‘The air is eerily calm’ written on the RIP headstone hints further to the Vortex link. Also ‘one of our own’ also on the headstone doesn’t fit in with Firehawk as it was originally located at Six Flags Worlds of Adventure, so could technically not be one of their own.
