Attraction Riptide Race

[Alpentheon]

oohhhh yay!

 

[Diamond Dave]

Jet Scream be like


And malibu pipeline is like right there, I can't be the only one that races on that one too.

OR the h2o ufo slides?

 

[Jonesta6]

Nitro racers?

 

[Mushroom]

Is this replacing Rampage?

 

[Zachary]

Yup

 

[Coasternerd]

Kinda sucks we didn’t get a “last chance” thing for Rampage, like we did with meltdown.

If this is like the one at Aquatica Orlando it may have limitations. Their new race slide has an individual weight limit of 250 pounds.

Why do they even install these in the US? The average American toddler is over 250 lbs.

I know I've ranted about the thematic decay of Water Country USA before, but can we take a moment to appreciate just how depressing it is that WCUSA attractions don't even get their own branding anymore? How much does it cost to pick a new name and design a new logo? Next to nothing—yet here we are. One of the largest water parks in the country doesn't even justify that level of effort to SEAS anymore.

Imagine how cool it would have been for Project Gemini to have actually been space race/atomic age-themed? It's just so depressing to see what was once a 50/60s-themed park descend into literally being themed to "a waterpark." Not to even mention what it says about the total lack of care shown to Aquatica that they could even have a ride generically themed enough to have its branding copied by WCUSA. We're in dark, dark times my friends.

I mean at least Scott Ross is getting super rich? Why invest in theming when he can buy another vacation home/yacht?

*dies inside*

 

[Coasternerd]

I didn’t even realize Riptide Race was a reused name-

Yep. It is just copied over from both Aquatica Orlando and Aquatica San Antonio.

 

[Coasternerd]

Noted. Can the parks please be bought out to maybe Herschend or back by AB? That’d change so many problems that they have.

 

[CoasterAuditor]

Herschend already tried to acquire the Busch parks I believe and were told no. Scott Ross is making too much money.

 

[Alpentheon]

well..

Well then herschend should put up a bigger offer. Scott Ross would love a hefty sum for the two parks.

No one in their right reasonable mind is spending over a billion dollars for 2 amusement parks.

 

[Coasternerd]

Unfortunately, Scott Ross is not in his right mind, lol

As much as I love Herschend parks I truly believe the parks would be better off staying as SEAS parks. (Constant investments, and park events)
