Not necessarily. I don’t know the answer, but GD was built a year after TOT and the tower was originally designed to have a drop tower attached to it because they had planned for it. Lex Luthor opened 15 years after Superman opened, My point being, the structure might not have been engineered to stand with the additional lower structure of Superman to support it (the curved structure at the base is what I’m referring to)

por que no los dos?

I know it's a typo, but the thought makes me laugh.

I heard/read that Six Flags is probably looking at closing Superman in the near future because of its cost and reliability issues. I’d love to see Giant Drop reclaim the world record, especially over 13 years later.

German theme park enthusiast’s who’s home park is Movie Park Germany weren’t impressed by the Australian inspiration?

This is what Six Flags looks like "under new management". As @Brad2912 mentioned, there was money being poured into revitalising Ka, with more planned for the future. It wasn't just the station; I believe there were new trains coming, so Intamin will probably be looking to send those parts elsewhere. Anyway, I guess this is what happens when you've got new shareholders who want to see the line on the graph moving north. Still, quite disrespectful to the legacy of the ride to just shut it down so unceremoniously with no prior announcement and thus no opportunity for the GP to get a "final rides weekend". But I guess we Aussies wouldn't know anything about that, would we? 🙄 At least DW appear to have learnt some lessons.

It’s probably because the Dreamworld Flyer is down for maintenance, so they’ve decided to open The Claw instead. Nice to see they are willing to substitute in another ride if needed. Compared to just saying 'sorry ride is closed'.
