Ripsaw Falls Rumor

[ChrisFL]

Apparently the rehab could possibly be more than just a small change to the drop:

Do you think they are adding some coaster elements to the ride like Atlantis at SeaWorld?

 

[ChrisFL]

Well, according to the article, they saw tracks that looked possible for that.

Who knows? It could require a major overhaul I would think though.

That was my first thought as well. The time allotment really isn't enough for a major change. Sounds like a fun idea though!

Great link! Thanks! I hope it's true!

Nothing coaster like is happening.

Can anyone tell me how long Ripsaw Falls is expected to be shut down for rehab?

We'll be there mid-April '04 and that ride is my favorite! Hope it's up & running by then.

Thank you for any info ~

It should be open by then, I heard it was going to be closed for 6 weeks and it closed somewhere around the last week of January. Ripsaw is one of my favorite rides too.

Early March is the slated reopeing.
