Rode this from 1987 to 2019, essentially every year. Amazing experience, including ride backwards in the rear car of the blue train. This rollercoaster was iconic for the amount of G forces riders would experience. Removing this premier attraction is a monumental bad move. What next ? Fill in the wave pool to turn it into a giant splash pad ?

I feel like Galaxyland is objectively worse than it used to be (right now), less space, less rides, more money. Hopefully they can turn it around for the better, can’t wait to see if they’ll put in a new coaster in its place 🙏

I sincerely hope it isn't replaced with some lame children's ride or something, as that would be an extra slap in the face.

I hope it gets replaced with some sort proper thrill coaster atleast. My biggest fear is that they are shifting the park to be (strictly) Family oriented and the wording of the closing announcement specifically details "FAMILY thrills" when talking about a replacement which really scares me that that may be their vision now. It truly sucks because there's not really much when it comes to good thrill parks on this part of the continent so galaxyland was probably the most decent park for thrills in a long distance BECAUSE MOST PARKS OVER HERE ARE JUST FAMILY PARKS TO BEGIN WITH

Unfortunately this was bound to happen eventually. With a coaster this old from a manufacturer that no longer exists the ride is gonna reach the end of its service life, though with the abrupt closure I imagine a certain part of the trains or structure went bad that would’ve been so expensive to replace the park just decided they’d rather spend that money going into a new ride.

I am dubious. There are dozens of rollercoasters operating which were built in the 1960s, 1970s and early 1980s and are outdoors, in the elements and still maintained and operating just fine to provide tons of thrills at Cedar Point, Darien Lake, Canada's Wonderland, Magic Mountain, La Ronde. (including Schwartzkopf coasters) The Mindbender has never seen rain, snow, high winds, extremes of temperature or freeze-thaw cycles. It is almost preserved in a museum environment. I call BS on it being "beyond repair".

"piece by piece" is comfirmed? If so, relocation is very likely. Mindbender is a near clone of the Drier Looping model, which traveled on the fair circut for years and post-fair circut has been relocated several times. Calaway Park or Marineland would be wise to buy Mindbender (maybe they'd even enclose it so they could operate it year round). This is about Triple Five's financial troubles (they own Americsn Dream Mall too, and we all know that multi-decades saga. Just leaving it at that).
