Park will feel a lot more "balanced" when a nextgen Rocky Hollow is built, complete with the worlds BEST Log Ride! 👍

It’s honestly a capacity beast running 2 trains!! The train in the station is usually ready to dispatch as the other train makes it to the final brake run. as for the property boxes, the door has since been removed, and a 2nd smaller box installed. So there’s plenty of room for loose items now, and I find it helps with the congestion on the load platform creating a more seamless loading process.

Isnt that specific section of the ride the one that's incomplete? Little bit of extra effects added (like maybe some projection mapping around the face which should brighten up the room slightly) would make that bit less scary. (for the record haven't been on it yet I'm operating off very limited glimpses of the switch track) Gonna say it would be the external sections. More people than you think are turned off by the thought of a ride going backwards - no one does Rivals backwards even when the experience was cheap. If West's backwards drop was exposed I'd guarantee that a lot less people would have been on it.

Well that’s the thing about scooby. I remember thinking it was going to be a little dark carnival ride the first time as you have no visibility of the ride, whereas JR is in your face. I’d imagine Scooby’s initial attendance for younger / non-coaster lovers would have been much lower had you seen the backwards drop from the queue line

I'm starting to believe JR missed the mark with the attended audience. The few times I have visited JR, I have noted, the trains are almost full of adults. Where have all the kids gone who should be riding the family attractions? In comparison to Scooby, the make-up of the guest in the queue is different. I'm wondering if the realism of the theming is scaring kids off or is it children seeing the external section of the ride causing them to have second thoughts. The 9 times I have queued for JR I have seen families retreating out of the queue. The old chicken gate would come in handy here. It's something that might change in the future as more kids ride JR and they realise what a great little ride it is. This just been my experience while riding it.

The slide tower concept needs to change imo, we need something like the old terror canyon weaving through the landscape. I know it’s limited as to what you can do, but even the new kaboom tower is average. Don’t they still have that decent plot of land near the Kamikaze? That’s prime realestate for a good themed slide
