I have good and bad news to share. First the good news! Construction is underway on the lift and launch coaster.

Now. The bad news. As someone who loves standup coasters, it truly breaks my heart to say this. Shockwave will no longer be a standup coaster.

- shockwave new trains for 2024, not standup
- new name and theme
- height restriction down from 1.4m to 1.2m

“different setting & programming” (at 1:48) is a thing I haven’t heard people make a big enough deal about, could be very cool!
