Why is the Elitch Gardens Flying Coaster closed?

I never got a chance to ride it, but a You Tube video makes the Flying Coaster look like it was lots of fun. When I was at the park in Denver, Colorado last week, I saw the ride still standing...but it's not listed nor pictured on the park map.Why is the Elitch Gardens Flying Coaster closed?
I work at elitchs.



and heres the deal.



The coaster was very expensive to operate, and not that many people rode it. Apparently the park has deemed that the ride鈥檚 lack of popularity compared to the price of repairs and upkeep needed to reopen it for the season just didn鈥檛 add up. No word on when they may opt to remove it however, though I imagine they鈥檙e more likely to try and sell it.



hope that helps!
Well actually people fell off of it. One person died or something like that
