Rumor: Rolling Thunder removal and giga drop tower

Six Flags Great Adventure has hinted at the possible removal of the classic double wooden coaster, Rolling Thunder. The ride opened in 1979 and has consistantly gotten rough over the years. The Rolling Thunder Facebook page posted a post saying ride me as many times as possible this season. Preferably before September. Pretty much telling us it will be either removed or dramatically refurbished. About the drop tower, it is supposed to run on the support structure of the famous Kingda Ka. I went on a backstage tour of Kingda Ka with Great Adventure Online during the 2012 season. Our tour guide said that there will NOT be a drop tower to run along Kingda Ka. We still don't know that. Being a regular at Great Adventure, I will be watching both of these stories closely.
