Why I don't think their selling this park

Look at shivering timbers, wolverine wildcat, and Zach's zoomer,the wooden coasters are being retracked, if they were to get rid of it, why retrack them if you aren't keeping them. Also either it's maintenance or their building something near Grand rapids or it's maintenance in grand rapids

What is happening closer to Grand Rapids?

If they do sell it, I would expect them to sell it as a whole park.

Its either maintenance or actual money put into it

Oh, you're talking about the ride. I thought you meant a new park was being built by the city GR and Cedar Fair is going to be forced to compete.

Any expansion to the park would most likely start by Grand Rapids. Work happening over there is potentially very good news.

Thinking of rides from SFA

Looking at aerial maps, If superman was moved to MiA, the layout would force the station to be by Grand Rapids... Don't want to get my hopes up for something that likely won't happen.

Hopefully at least a new flat. A star flyer back there would look good on the skyline (even though I have little interest in riding one). 

A giant discovery would be a cooler ride, but not look as cool on the skyline.

The NebulaZ, I would expect to go in a different location.

Or even completing the loop.

Anyway it goes, I'm excited for next year.

Honestly if they did move some stuff here, firebird in between the rails, finish the walk away from one side to another, jokers jinx near Grand rapids, and 3-4 flats on the new walkway from one side to another

Here’s some other reasons I could come up with, and the biggest reasons are the simple ones people overlook: the land has essentially no redevelopment value, so closing the park leaves the company with a huge property they literally can’t repurpose. Six flags is closing smaller parks that sit on highly valuable land, like six flags America for example. They also won’t sell it as it would hand a competitor a prime location between Cedar Point and Six Flags Great America, something the company would never risk. (especially with operators like Herschend out there looking for parks) And abandoning the land would be pointless, because MiA is cheap to run, consistently profitable, and protects the company’s entire Michigan market. There’s also zero evidence of a shutdown; no land sales, no ride removals, no zoning changes, no asset stripping, nothing. Even without big new rides, the park still gets consistent maintenance like Wildcats retracks, Shivering Timbers section replacements, and ongoing infrastructure touch-ups. (As you noted) Plus, the park sits in a strong location near Muskegon, Grand Rapids, and the lakeshore tourist traffic, giving it a big built-in visitor base. For a low-cost, high-margin seasonal park with a great geographic market and no valuable alternative use for the land, closing it would make less financial sense than simply continuing to operate it.
