Why did Kings Dominion get rid of the volcano?

Re-tracking the ride wasn't an option, as the uniqueness of the coaster made new track segments difficult to come by. The park ordered a replacement coaster for Volcano, but to no avail. According to Kings Dominion, the ride had reached the end of its service life.
