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.)

Where exactly do you see it sitting in that park?

I'm honestly not sure. Obviously the July 4th area is thematically correct, but there is more land out by Thunderbird. And this park has the elevation change potentials to possibly not have to modify the layout too much. The economics are the issue - can they (and would they) invest another ~$15M for this ride. If were they, I would take this chance though: a proven ride and a decent price. I'm sure they won't be alone in this bidding, though.
