Six Flags Great Adventure | Unknown | Unknown Kingda Ka replacement | 2026+

I don't think a ride needs to occupy the exact same plot of land to be a "replacement". If a park builds a new carousel before removing their existing one, that's still the replacement. It's just a replacement with good planning. A spiritual replacement if you want to get pedantic.

Ka already had shaky economics given it's cost of maintenance versus declining draw/ridership/reliability. No way the plan was to continue pumping millions into Ka each year with this sitting right beside it.

That's exactly what im saying. Sorry if I started drama in the thread, i'll see myself out.

This configuration is giving "Ka but move it twenty feet to the left so we can expand Golden Kingdom into Ka's plot." With Ka and Zumanjaro gone, I feel like this is the next spot we see something interesting added, not even a coaster necessarily just an expansion of sorts.

I don't know exactly how good it was because I never made it to Ka, and as much as it pains me to say it, I doubt we will see anything as intricately themed as Golden Kingdom added to SFGAdv ever again.
