I guess the dragons are being challenged, and losing badly.

Alas, there she goes... The first truly defunct B&M.
Ok but how desperate you have to be to voluntarily fly from another country to go to Thorpe?

I shout "NO more destruction photos of a decent B&M!" Oh please do not get us down! :sad:

Personal coaster count as of 3/2025 -- 222
"500" perhaps by the end of this year.

So neither of them are getting saved? What a waste... Straight up awful treatment of these coasters.

Did we ever really expect that they would be relocated?

I was just a tiny bit hopeful :cry: But Universal is like an impatient child at a toy store. They'd never spend time waiting for a sale, they're like "get it the f^%$ out and give me that new new.

^ I kinda hope a park incorporates the destroyed track to theme a new ride. Imagine how cool an apocalypse theme would be if it looked like the track itself was falling apart!

Universal itself incorporated some Hulk scraps into the entrance of the new one. Maybe they won't fully leave the dragons behind like an old shoe *imagines a decent world.*

In any case, it's weird to see the track lying in a heap like that. It's weird to see the once busy footprint becoming empty in ^ Paradox's photo. I wouldn't be discouraged by these sights if I thought that Universal would replace them with a world-class coaster, which should, and could happen. But I don't think it will happen.

^ I kind of want them to reuse those large inversions - just my small wish, though. :sad:

Obviously it would only take a small fraction of the space, but I think a VR quiditch attraction would be amazing.
What are these for?
