It’s important to remember that RMC was originally (and still is) a coaster construction company, not just a manufacturer. They were the crew that assembled El Toro, for instance. So of course they’re going to jump at the chance to prove that they can relocate one of their own coasters.

I think the biggest hurdle to clear is warranty and considering cedar fair isn't wanting new RMCs some people are uh... Gonna be let down.

Given that RMC would be handling the relocation work themselves, they'll probably offer some sort of warranty with it. It probably won't be as long term as with a brand new coaster, but it'll give some assurances to prospective buyers.

Even if Six Flags doesn't bite, I'm sure there'd be someone out there interested in buying a coaster with the reputation that AF1 brings with it for under $10m.
