Pontoon and Sea Racers

[daverene]

The pontoon boats have been removed and returned to bass pro. The Sea Racers that have been here sense the 70s have been removed and crushed. How sad is that.

It is sad, daverene.

This was rumored over on the Rumors board back in May so I guess Disney may be following through on it.

I think Disney is using this reopening/restart to make a number of structural changes that otherwise would have been more difficult to make. I'll chalk this up to opportunism - and I bet it won't be the last change.

Not good . I was planning on the sea racers this year.

Interesting that the pontoons are gone too. I heard the fishing excursions were coming back and I suspect it won't be long after fireworks return to MK that the fireworks cruises return..

The Sea Raycers seemed to have a decent amount of rentals but I rarely saw people renting pontoons, certainly not enough to justify the expenses involved in the operation. I agree that they will be doing a lot of this.

Fishing still going on but no rentals

They haven't ripped down the web page information on them yet for whatever that is worth.

the DD's and DS loved the Raycers, this was from our 2012 visit, DW and I also had some fun on them.

It was on my to do list on the last visit, but time and weather didn't cooperate. I had it planned as a must do for this trip. Figures, as everything i have planned for must do stuff gets the axe when i get there. Last time all i wanted was to see the sleepy hallow movie for halloween, and bam, gone. Lol. Best laid plans......i should plan on attending the parks on my november trip with the largest crowds ever! But i know that would be the one time my plans would actually work out.........

If the cuts continue I may just plan part of my next trip at Lester's possum park.

Does this mean there will be no motor boat rentals at fort wilderness at all?

As of now nothing really disappointed in didn’t this trip seems like there doing every thing on the cheap
