At this very moment some cranes arrived and shockwave at Six Flags Great America will be demolished and rebuild in an other six flags park. In the open space a B&M flying will be build

This is the coaster is am talking about: (arrow multi looper)

In case you didn't know Shockwave is the exact same thing as Viper at SFMM.
The reason shockwave is being removed from there is because the land where it is shitting on has shifted andmade it unstable and rough! So the only solution they have was to move the coaster. I think they will later reinforce the ground and build something else

Which park could it be.. Would it be too expensive to transport this size of coaster overseas?

(Although Arrows aren't the best coasters, this could be a great addition to "SF France")

I really doubt the terrain shifted, it was built over a parking lot, the reason people are saying its being moved is because supposably a axle came off while the thain was in the MCBR, they also say that the plans were to move it even when they said they were gonna get rid of the Whizzer, that was a popularity stunt.
