GAcoaster Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 Update and improve Congo Rapids 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted December 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 As one of the park's only remaining water rides, and as the oldest rapids ride still operating in the world, it would be great to see the park make some improvements to Congo Rapids, and maybe bring back the original Roaring Rapids name! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louisatsweetlou Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 With Jersey Devil opening up right beside it, this is the PERFECT time to revitalize Congo Rapids! I think a refurb of the rockwork- at least paint would be nice. I would also reintroduce the fountains that have been turned off and, if we want to get greedy, add a waterfall that goes straight down over the entire boat so everyone is guaranteed to get wet! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe retheme it to Penguin's Blizzard River? If you've been on the former SFKK one, I got drenched in 03. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder Woman would be cool too, just retheme Wonder Woman to Two-Face...like why have they not reused the name "Two-Face: the Flip Side"?

Medusa42 Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 RES is the company behind Mystic River Falls at Silver Dollar City. I would like to see them do a retrofit/redesign of the rapids without doing a full teardown. http://ride-engineers.com/water-rides/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThemeParkRider Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 An update to this ride could probably be done fairly inexpensively, and if they gave it a complete overhaul it would still be marketable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
