Lucky that you were able to ride it, will miss this coaster

[IHeartEditsOfficial]

Scorpion was the only Schwarzkopf coaster I have ever been on. Even if this ride was really janky, it’s sad to see this piece of Busch Gardens history shut down forever.

R.I.P. Scorpion 😢

Scorpion was my first big coaster and I don’t think I would have become the enthusiast I am if it wasn’t for this ride. Thanks for the memories Scorpion!

[Reelunique]

I wish all roller coasters can be saved and preserved

[bandgeek_weirdo]

Oh my god I'm so sad that I couldn't get a final ride on it... Scropion wad the coaster that introduced me to loops and other things that cause you to go upside down on a coaster. I remember getting off of it breaking down into tears (i was 9 and freaked out) but truly, I don't think I would be the coaster junkie that I am now if it wasnt for that ride introducing me to it.

I met you the day you were filming this. I kept looking for myself in the background. Thanks for always putting up awesome videos, also it was nice meeting you

[thatgreens]

I finally found you guys! I was working load the day you guys came to film this and I've been trying to find ya'lls channel ever since!

I've always made an effort to ride Scorpion when I'm at Busch Gardens. This closure actually hurts a lot!(nostalgically)

I hate seeing these old Schwarzkopfs get closed down, they give such strong positives and it's so fun, especially the double looping models like Colossus at Lagoon

[Odderstuff]

It’s a shame these classic Schwarzkopf coasters are closing all the time now, glad I got to ride scorpion back in march, it’s a shame to see it go, these coasters get rarer and rarer

Kelly experienced her first inversion on Scorpion & based on reading lots of other comments, many others can say the same.
Although we (enthusiasts) don't have say in what stays or goes, IF Scorpion will be scrapped entirely, BGT would be smart to sell off small pieces of track to those who might want to keep a piece of their fandom close by! #TakeOurMoney #Sentimental

Not me getting Lapps on the 97 year old cyclone at my come park, the real Luna park wondering how this is old

Racer in kings island:

I truly hope this gets sold to another park as opposed to just scrapped.

The oldest operating rollercoaster in Florida is space mountain
