If we were getting the park to explain things (which we never actually will), I'd be a lot more curious how they would justify having multiple dining locations closed yesterday during a busy Fright Fest weekend.
It seems like the other side always wins on American Eagle Also, I've ridden Goliath 23 times in one day. HBU? (Sorry in advance for unnecessary commas and parenthesis every where)
it's possible besides the parks sheer laziness, could have been waiting on parts as well, though the ride is still in production by W. Schwarzkopf through Gerstlauer, the design has changed quite a bit and guessing some of the old parts are hard to find and have a long lead time

I can’t wait to ride today! I think it has a great new home. It looks more secluded.
I believe that Bring A Friend Free for the Fall Fest is just for people who got 2018 passes during the Flash Sale, but I could be wrong.
As for opening day, remember that last year they added a "preview weekend" before opening day, so I wouldn't count on April 21st really being the first day.
Primarily, to make room for WLLC/Hurricane Force, though it was always a problematic ride in it's own. I think it was even a trailer model, so I doubt the park was planning on keeping it around for 20+ years.
It's future whereabouts are unknown, but I heard that HUSS is coming to remove the ride
It was portable, like so it can travel as part of a fair.
