As of 4th of May, the worlds last skywat, Slammer at Thorpe park is being removed, after being announced on the parks twitter.



In my opinion it was quite fun, but did make your head pound afterwards.

I think this was the only one of it's kind left, right? I wonder if it's being resold or just scrapped.

Imo it was quite a fun and unique experience. Missed out on it last time due it being down for technical issues. (Like always, so I can understand the reason of getting rid of it. Had a very low reliability.)

Yes this was the last sky swat in existence as SFNE closed Catapult to make way for Sky Screamer's queue.

That's like finding a Waffle House with no white trash in it.

Can't say I'm disappointed as it was really painful to the head for me, an intense experience but not a pleasant one. That opens up a bit of room there though and if they decide to get rid of X as well, that's a big bit of space!
