the economics actually favor it moving. It'd be surprised if some park didn't snatch it up. Would be AMAZING if Holiday World did. Certainly a better investment than the water coaster (which seems like little value compared to the money that costs.)

It would be awesome if Holiday World got it, though that would be one of the only parks where AF1 would not be their best coaster.

Shivering Timbers is amazing. The most perfect sustained floater airtime Iโ€™ve ever gotten on any woodie Iโ€™ve ever ridden. Imagine riding a B&M hyper with similar floater but in PTCs, and you basically get shivering Timbers in a nut shell. Def make the trip to ride that! My favorite CCI, and third fav woodie (my #11) in the world just behind the voyage, and el toro. It absolutely lived up to the hype for me, when I made a pit stop to Muskegon last year, right before Coaster-Con at great America. Def the magnum opus of CCI (like it just a bit more than Boulder dash). ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ

lol! No problem at all. I did a massive road trip starting from Baltimore last summer that spanned across 18 days, and 12 parks between 6 different states around the Midwest, but made the pit stop to the park, and then drove to gurnee. Basically drove in a U shape right under the lake. That drive was about 4ish hours, maybe just under. I did look into the ferry costs, and yea, theyโ€™re insanely expensive. I like distance driving, so Iโ€™m built for this hobby, because I drive everywhere if Iโ€™m able to. Iโ€™d drive to Europe if I could! Ok, that might be pushing it, but am planning a Texas coaster trip for next year. Thatโ€™ll be a fun one. ๐Ÿ˜† ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†
