I agree! I think a coaster with square wheels would be more enjoyable then the togo death machine viper was lol.

welcome.

Vipers exit wrapped around the back of the ride. Part of the exit path still exists ans is fenced off to the right of Toro's lift hill.

Wow, they did a great job! Glad to see it back up and running.

I'm glad to see that the Log Flume is getting some TLC, I really hope they get the wheel working, It really adds a nice touch to the atmosphere of that section. Also, it looks like the Kingda Ka entrance plaza is going to be much more opened up. That area is always crammed when KK is open.

I would love to see a Dueling RMC in Rolling Thunders spot.

Makes sense now that I think about it. They would have to remove each piece carefully.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know why that part of Rolling Thunder was left there?

Yay! I'm always excited to see the new park map. It looks like the baboon exhibit is only taking up the old safari discoveries and Zumanjaro's queue will be right next to Kingda Ka's entrance. Do you guys happen to know if part of the former queue that goes under the launch will be reused for the new ride? Also it looks like the train ride is still planned for looney tunes seaport, I hope it shows up this season lol.

The towers looking pretty good. It's going to be intimidating when your at the top waiting to be dropped.

THANK YOU! I'm sure that whats going on now seems "wrong", but people forget this is a CORPORATE BUSINESS, not ROLLER COASTER TYCOON. I have a feeling that something really nice is planned for the future of the park and Zumanjaro is just the beginning. Rolling Thunder is leaving and quite honestly I only rode it once every 7 visits to the park. Its time to move on and the baboons in the Golden Kingdom will be more entertaining and a different type of experience that will give FAMILIES something to do and check out while strolling through the park which in my opinion, i'd love to see more animal attractions inside the theme park. We all need to look at this with an open mind, the unused part of the safari including Thunders vacant footprint can fit Hurricane Harbor PLUS a coaster... If any hotel projects break through, then most likely the water park can be relocated into this area. This is only speculation on my part. Just saying.

La Tora!

Does anyone know if the sea loin will still be in the golden kingdom? I think a show starring the baboons would be epic.

From all the rumors that have been floating around regarding Rolling Thunder, my money is that the ride needed much more then just retracking and new trains. As Sad and disappointing as it is, it's time to move on. Keep in mind that the ride wasn't built by a major coaster company like Intaman, in fact I'm certain that the designer of Rolling Thunder hasn't made to many coasters nor is still designing any. Unfortunately corporte is all about business and how to make the best out of any investment. In their eyes they see it as, instead of fixing up rolling thunder lets just move the bamboons into the park and well use the money on a nice new Monster or a family section with a family coaster and some flats. With the loss as a family ride (once considered thrill), I just hope they invest in a nice family thrill coaster with flats and revamp a section.

I'm excited that were finally getting a Drop Tower!!! A huge one none the less. Although its sad to see rolling thunder go, I hope a nice RMC gets put in. If you think about it, the wood on the ride wasn't designed to be built taller or faster, and instead of rehabbing it, use the money to build new family coasters that will bring in more people and be a worthy investment down the road.

That would be insane, but I'm sure drink stands from Kingda ka to the waterpark would be the parks highest profit stand. LOL As for next years attraction, I'm curious where the location will be. There's so many possible spots for a tower.

This sounds exciting! I'm thinking either a new roller coaster or drop tower over 400 feet.

There's also a rumor circulating that SFNE's Twister is finished and being removed this off season.

I was wondering the same thing. I wonder if the safari was one of them.

The waterpark slides would fit perfectly, with maybe removing a building and converting the rapids into a lazy river, walk under nitro and into the wavepool. Also, King Cobra could fit nicely into the congo island. Also, the wavepool wouldn't even come near the maitnence buildings, just the dirt lot next to it.

Hey everyone, does anyone remember management saying that they want to make all 3 parks into 1? Since they merged the safari into the theme park, anyone think that maybe for the 40th anniversary well get the water park either relocated into the theme park, or a tram that goes to the waterpark? I was looking on google maps and the slides could fit perfectly into "adventure seaport".

I was saying the same exact thing! Is the company that is working on the themeing and details the same company that built the Golden Kingdom? I can't wait to see how Camp Adventura turns out, its looking very promising.

Its looking great! I can't wait.

I honestly don't see why our park wouldn't be able to have Bizarro and a X-flight type of wing rider in the same park, because when Medusa came out, they kept GASM. It seems silly that relocating the coaster was even considered, take Green Lantern before Bizarro (Just kidding:-P). I think both coasters would offer two complete different experiences, the only thing in common is they invert. I would love to have 6 B&M's!!!

I loved the Simulator, however I agree that it is now outdated and not worth the investment to bring it back. The building would be better transformed or replaced with something interactive like a Justice League dark ride, down the road when the park is ready to make a costly investment.
