    I guess I continue to be amazed at all the incredibly bad financial expenditures this park (heck, I guess the entire company) makes from one season to the next with little thought beyond the next season.  They just spent a good sum of money repaving and replanting trees in the safari, one would think with the intention of maintaining it as a drive-thru safari (at least optionally).  Besides, it was as a drive-thru safari that they were at least able to generate some revenue initially during COVID.  I have to imagine that if they're simply providing the option to board SORA trucks at the safari entrance, they will no longer be providing a safari only option, meaning people will be forced to purchase the higher priced theme park ticket even if they only intend to visit the safari, and this, I believe will force some people to opt out of a visit altogether.

     

    The trucks that will leave from the Safari entrance plaza will be for those that just want to do the Safari and not enter the theme park.

  18. Rodeo Stampede Ride Returning (idea)

    Is Huss out of business?   They still have a website:


    https://www.hussrides.com/

     

    I always heard parts were an issue too but according my to it:

     

    ”HUSS® provides a first-class after sales support service to clients anywhere in the world through its Huss Parts & Service GmbH company.


    Many of the HUSS® attractions are still in operation up to 30 years after first beginning their working life and service and spare parts are provided around the clock for all those rides still in operation.”

    Your thoughts on whether or not the the drive-through safari will continue along with the Off-Road Adventure trucks returning.  I don't find their press release very clear on this matter.  Also, their description of the safari resort isn't very clear either.  The photo they show is of a more permanent structure and their description includes fine dining, while the name actually calls it a resort.  Then, they also ask you to make reservations now, however, the link to reservations does not work and their is no pricing available.

     

    I believe cars will no longer be touring the Safari and revert back to the SORA trucks.  The difference this time seems to be that those that only want to do the Safari and not the theme park can access the trucks from the Safari entrance plaza.

     

    The glamping tents in the rendering look very close to the catering tents in Camp Aventura.  I would expect the new area to take over those facilities.

    Harry, any word on what to expect for these “upgrades” to the Log Flume and Big Wheel? Happy to see them getting love but curious about how extensive the upgrades would be. 

     

    Both of these upgrades should be quite extensive.  I suspect the Giant Wheel will be totally dismantled, cleaned, and repainted with an entire new lighting package and refurbished cars including possibly the introduction of the long missing cars redone.

     

    I don't know if the Log Flume will see the original color scheme (red and green) but the entire turntable is being refurbished with new sub structure and decking.  Also it is probable the trough will be relined and new conveyors installed.

     

    It's the perfect gift for two rides celebrating their 50th birthdays!
