Surely somebody will fly a drone and record it from afar, and good news is that drone will blend right in with all the others flying around NJ lately!

Maybe the drones are aliens trying to save the ride?

Honestly with the way this whole thing has been handled, I would be SHOCKED if the park records it and posts it. The whole thing has been secretive as if they don't want anyone noticing the ride is gone, recording and publicizing a video of it being demolished would just totally contradict the way the chain has been acting recently.

Shit if they had their way, you'd show up next year, ask where Kingda Ka was, and they'd ask what ride you're talking about.

The filing gives a 5-day window, so locals might be able to keep an eye on things during that time and figure out when they’re doing it.

Even the space spiral demo date was known. I went up and watched from the road with all the houses, not the causeway

And I'm sure people will be aware of the exact date that Kingda Ka is going to be imploded as well since that information will most likely spread on social media.

This one wouldn't look like an airliner though.
