I'm going to leave a few of my predictions down here on what rides will or could be removed (apologies if i don't name the ride itself)
. Tidal Wave - Magic Mountain
. Goliath at SFNE Refurbished ad probably sent to a park like America
. Log Flume at SFGA
. Alpine Bobsled - SFGE
. Parachute - SFGA
. Batwing - SFA
. SFOG - Splashwater Falls (even though it's already closed)
. SFSL - Superman Tower of Power
SFOT - El Sombrero
. SFFT - Hustler
. SFM - Aquaman Splashdown
Can't think of any more currently!

SFoG - Sky Buckets started being hit or miss in Fall of 2019 and were closed all of 2020 season. That could indicated they have a major issue with them.

I didn't list Twister at SFGA because as Six Flags has rid of all their other top spins with that one being the only left it's got spare parts for a while!

No idea if it's legit or not but it's sad if so as it seems like log flumes and cable cars are always getting the chop these days and it's nice to have chill rides at parks as well as thrill rides. Classic Von Rolls skyride are almost getting rarer by the year.
I've not been to SFOG but apparently the Sky Buckets hasn't operated much in the last few years. Anyone got any more info on this?

From what they were saying when I was at SFOG last year it was getting a full refurb? I'd be somewhat surprised if its really being removed.

I prefer that option! Seems plausible too.

I wonder if the Great Escape Incident scared them. It scared Lake Compounce.

Perhaps but those two rides are a different design, the Von Roll ones are enclosed cars not open bench seats.

Sky Buckets at SFOG was hit and miss in 2019, did not operate at all in 2020. I was there yesterday and the cable that supported the cars has been removed. No indication whether is was being repaired or removed. I hope they are refurbishing it as I always loved it.
Wish granted! Three years of operation - hopefully it will last longer at another park.

Tidal Wave at SFMM is being demolished at the moment.
Not sure if it was closed from before 2020 (I seem to recall the similar ride at SFOG has been closed for a while) and it seems like it's to make way for the new coaster but it could have been part of the 15 rides that were quoted as being removed.

I remember it also being mentioned that those 15 rides included rides that were SBNO but not removed across the chain, so I wouldn't be surprised if both Tidal Waves are a part of those 15.

The Moon Antique Car ride at Six Flags St louis has been retired for good. No idea how long it's been shut or whether this was known but anyway, it's a thing.

Wikipedia also says the Superman: Tower of Power Intamin drop tower is awaiting demolition.

Honestly hope it gets relocated to another park instead of scrapped, preferably with improved trains. Those Giant Inverted Boomerangs have always fascinated me and I’d like to see them stick around.
