Why is nobody taking about the fact that wild thang is listed as open now?!???

I mean there was some talk of it earlier. I might be wrong but wasn't Gemini largely in Rampage's foot print?

Kevin is saying that Wild thing will open soon Rampage is a maybe for the season but he says there are challenges to running it.

He said difficulties related to the age of that style of ride. It's worth noting that I believe Wild Thing was outside of the footprint of Gemini. But it's is worth noting that Kevin very specifically said SEAS is committed to opening a new attraction in it each REGION every year I could see BGW and WCUSA being counted as one in that statement.

Also with the good news… comes some bad news. Rampage is been confirmed by one of the workers to be done for. She said the manufacturer can’t provide certain parts for it. Also the sign was gone for the ride so safe to say. The ride is doomed

This would likely be what Kevin meant by “challenges”

Does anybody know when we would see the first signs of the construction of Gemini? It would probably be Rampage's demolition, but in the past, do they normally do all that in the off-season? Or some while the park is open?

Water slide projects typically move pretty fast at WCUSA. Hopefully we'll see some sign of work before the end of the season, but it's certainly not a given.

A lot of work happens once they close. Depending on the scale of the project, it's likely that most of it will happen once they close

No mention of this yesterday, which kinda disappointed me. Wonder if it's still happening or if it's on hold.

Sometimes they're paired, sometimes they're not. Their projects are usually faster and they have a longer off season, so they don't usually start much construction until the previous season is over.

Water Country it's easier for them to hide a project, so don't expect announcements until next year at some point.

Colossal curl didn’t start construction until the park closed for the season. However I don’t feel the new ride will open in 2023 I’m thinking 2024 because it will be the parks 40th anniversary.

Thinking it's still planned for 2023, but I do seriously hope that for the 40th anniversary of the park that they can renovate the Catalina Grill restaurant area. That is the worst setup and food service in general at WCUSA needs more work. Just my two cents.
