Jester was a Vekoma hurricane roller coaster that operated at @SixFlags NOLA from 2003 to 2005. Unfortunately Hurricane Katrina left her in disrepair, and Six Flags has left her to rot away in the former park.

As much as Vekoma rides aren't my favorite, I wish she could've been saved for another park. Barely two full years of operation.

Things aren't looking great for Mind Eraser these days, so lets pour one out for this Vekoma SLC at @SixFlagsDC

Opened in May 1995, Mind Eraser is a smaller Vekoma SLC model that features a top speed of 50MPH and trains of 2 riders across. As of 2022 she has been removed from the park's website and maps and is currently listed as SBNO.

Desperado is an Arrow Dynamics hypercoaster that operated at Buffalo Bill's Resort and Casino in Primm Nevada from 1994 to 2020. The coaster is currently SBNO as #Covid shut the hotel down in early 2020.

There has to be a way to save this one, right? Can we start a Go Fund Me to move this ride somewhere?
