What's up with the ferris wheel?  Did it already find a new home?

I've heard rumor that it is eventually going to DW to replace their old Eli Bridge they have there.

Just in case anyone else is still interested, a bunch of CC's rides have popped up on ITAL. I counted about 9 rides, which include the tilt-a-whirl, log flume, wisdom tornado, SDC coaster and several kiddie rides. Doesn't look like any of the big rides are up there though, so OzCat, Roaring Falls, the KMG Afterburner, the flying carpet, ferris wheel, and the S&S double shot are all still there I assume. It basically looks like they're getting rid of all the rides that wouldn't look good in other parks.

I'm assuming this pretty much spells the end of what little possibility CC had to return as a normal amusement park. Either the remaining rides will be shipped out within the next year, or we'll start hearing about a new mixed development on the property soon, or both... The one thing that gives me hope for OzCat is that the trains are only being stored at Wild Adventures, and are not part of Cheetah's refurbishment. There has also been a mention here and there that the ride is being maintained to some degree. The last mention of the park from HFEC is that they are still weighing options: http://bransontrilakesnews.com/news/article_7cd89075-7a9c-5c10-94a4-3611b56497ea.html

Thanks for the update. 

My fingers are still crossed regarding OzCat.
