I think that The Slammer will be leaving us fairly soon. along with X (or TWD) as in my opinion I think X will be leaving us at the end of this season.
I don’t think they will scrap the walking dead ride as it’s brand new and they have spent quite a bit of money on “doing it up” I think it will be there for 3 seasons at least...I can’t see them tearing it down anytime soon as they need to focus and invest on loggers and river rapids!

Rapids/Slammer and of course Loggers is priority for the park to start considering making there investments in those rides! I hate that we get told no newsprint updates about what the future holds for this dated park!

Rethemes

- Completely overhaul Rumba Rapids (See any European rapids ride)
Restore / Upgarde
- Retrack and replace all Gerstlauer hardware on Saw for Mack hardware (Big Dipper)
- Redo the Nemesis Inferno station and tunnel with Wickerman effects.
- Change Colossus to Lap bars and swap the square wheels for round ones.
- Remove all American audio from Swarm, make the fountains stronger and make pyro effects more frequent.

Still themed to nothing though, bar a few skulls in the tunnel section, but whats the point? ??♂️
Needs refurbishment or removed completely that is the only current ride that is in a dire state..everybody knows that it needs a beef up but don’t look like the park are willing to invest there money in that ride unless they are planning on doing something with it next few seasons!
-
Also any word if they are actually using animatronics on the ride? Or has that been thrown out the window now? They might wizz over a zombie or a ghoul from Duel or tomb blast, to install on the ride! ?

I've got a thery that at some point on the ride a person on the car will change from a normal person to a zombie (actor) on the break run or when the lights go out? Could happening randomly? It might not be possible with safety and the restraints, but that would be pretty cool if that happened! Upping the scare factor I suppose..?

I mean what do you expect they are only paid minimum wage? Lol but I get what you mean they should be providing guests a good service all round.
