I presume they are the ones who've listed it for sale no?You've also got to take into account whether Furuvik would even be willing to let it go. They only got it in 2011, so it hasn't been there an especially long time.

Ah, sorry... I missed the part about it being put up for sale. Don't I look sheepish!I presume they are the ones who've listed it for sale no?
... the new suggestion seems more plausible!
Yeah it's up for sale, and this group want to purchase it and bring it back to the UK. They would operate it for visitors of course, but I doubt it'll happen. There are so many costs associated with relocating rides as well as the purchase fee, let alone the running costs once it's ready.Ah, sorry... I missed the part about it being put up for sale.

I thought people were lobbying to bring it back from Sweden whether Furuvik wanted to get rid of it or not... the new suggestion seems more plausible!
I asked at the auction and they said "it had been sold". Was curious as I bought a seat from it, you'd think there would have been more than one if it had been scrapped, assume it was the test seat.
Agree re apocalypse - it wouldn’t be cheap to ship anywhere - even if it were in the UKI asked at the auction and they said "it had been sold". Was curious as I bought a seat from it, you'd think there would have been more than one if it had been scrapped, assume it was the test seat.
To hit 550 pph you'd need to dispatch the train 46 times. Even a Cedar Point crew would struggle to do two thirds of that.
I am not convinced there is going to be a queue to buy Apocalypse. Unless it goes for a song, you could get a broadly similar new ride by the time you've brought it down, shipped it and reconstructed it. Could work in our favour ...
Being a dirty "southerner", I never rode Space Invader at Blackpool but have ridden it many times at Brean this year where it lives on! I often wonder what it would be like to ride Black Hole again now I'm all middle aged.It was a childhood favourite of mine as well as Space Invader at PB. Awesome rides in their day tbf.
