I worked for Six Flags Flags amusement parks for 11 years. I remember when they hauled these things in. I don't remember the one in Jackson, but I fondly remember the one in Arlington,TX. Every park has a purchasing agent that you can talk to. All of the Six Flags parks have a pretty stiff policy about selling to the public and that is NO.-especially in the park in NJ. They are terrified of lawsuits if you get hurt moving it. If you approach them about it, it would help you to have the backing of a museum. I bought a lot of neat stuff over the years out of several of the parks, but I knew a lot of the purchasing agents- and I handed out a lot of cases of beer. A trip inside an amusement park bone yard is an antique hunters dream. But, be aware that a lot of interesting things go into the dumpsters rather than be sold or given away. There also used to be a 1980s Batmobile in every SixFlags bone yard. I wonder if any of those are still there.

Went to GA this past Saturday and noticed the 104.

Since last info was posted here, it has been moved, painted a generic gray and put on display as part of the Green Lantern ride entrance. (Which I might tell you is freakin awesome coaster.)

Here's a photo I found online showing it.
