Good riddance to the worst coaster in Orlando and one of the ugliest coasters ever built. I just hope whatever they replace it with is aesthetically pleasing and compliments the area rather than clashes with it.

Replacing this, Jimmy Fallon and Fast and Furious would go a long way to improving the park.

I'd love to see another coaster in this tight space. It was such a neat layout.
Back to the Future?
Fast & Furious?

From the documents it seems pretty obvious that it’ll be replaced by another coaster, with the entrance now next to or in the firehouse facade. The two new buildings proposed are not big enough to house a full attraction.
You will.
Load will be in the building west of Fallon. Maintenance in the other building.

Some people on the IU forums are speculating it might be Ghostbusters. That IP has been seeing a resurgence as of late. F&F on the other hand is dying and when it does, needs to stay dead IMO.

Too bad. I really liked this coaster.

Interesting Factoid...Turns out the Video DJ's host had names...
And small snippet of the preshow queue area loop..
It's also sad we won't be able to ride the secret Muppet Movie songs (Rainbow Connection and Moving Right Along) and Night on Bald Mountain anymore...

I’ll miss it. Despite its flaws it was ahead of its time and had so many little innovations.
Even if it was never fully completed and is a miracle it’s lasted this long let alone opened at all !

Will this drastically reshuffle the area in front of the old Blueman Group/Nick Studios building? They have a chance to really bring this area back into the park if they wanted to
Seems like there will be more coaster in that area then HRRR.

I’m hearing spike.
Thought I wish the theme was Ghostbusters instead of F&F. The firehouse entrance is too perfect and they bought the theme park rights back recently. If theming it to F&F kills Supercharged faster though then I’ll allow it.
The area in front of the Nick building will be taken up by the coaster. Now they just need to repurpose the Nick building itself. I'm somewhat surprised they aren't using this project as an opportunity to do that, or even re-using Rockit's station.
