I think we would have seen that. It would've been a very noticeable project.I believe the coaster track at the end was replaced.

Construction walls were down yesterday and the ride was meant to reopen at 11h but did not do so due to technical difficulties. I was there until a little past 14h and it remained closed, I also think I heard someone say they had given up on opening yesterday due to whatever the problem was. The ride was not cycling either, so I think that it might be a problem with an effect.
Well, let us hope soGood to know they care about an effect working this time.
Welp
lol who screwed it up?
If that's happening then all the triggers were deactivated for some reason, and the audio track was manually put on loop. This isn't something that just happens. Either they gave up or something is seriously broken with the effects.
It's on purpose. Cost saving measure.. No more audio or anything- just a soundtrack the whole ride.
So they gave up. At least they updated the technical stuff, it isn't going away any time soon.It's on purpose. Cost saving measure.. No more audio or anything- just a soundtrack the whole ride.
My only hope is that since they were having technical difficulties that maybe the effects just weren't working, and they just let the ride run without them for now.
That's my optimism jumping in because I highly doubt it
While I agree they should try to maintain it or improve it, THEY didn't build it, Busch Entertainment did nearly 20 years ago. Since then the company has changed hands and priorities. A lot of the things they used to do was because they had all that AB money and the Busch Family spent money on the parks because they were good for their brand overall. The parks made money, but it wasn't a priority (or a necessity) for them to squeeze out every last dollar to keep investors happy. This is a different business than it used to be and spending priorities have to change. If they sunk tens of thousands of dollars into fixing what's wrong with it they wouldn't see much ROI. It just has to be a flume with some theme elements and 99% of the public will ride it on a hot day.This is really just sad. They could've at least fixed the audio and left one moving animation in there. If they didn't know how to maintain a dark ride, one shouldn't have been built.
