Wet 'n' Wild GC Maintenance 2019

[themagician]

WnW have released their full maintenance listing for the year. Nothing unusual, with most slides closing during their usual periods, and Calypso Beach and Surfrider closing for the Winter

I wonder if the Water Fall will return in the lazy river this time 🤔

[Brad2912]

It has rusty pipes... DEMOLISH IT AND THE WHOLE LAZY RIVER! AND THE CHURRO CART WITH THE WONKY WHEEL!!

I don't understand why Mach V went, nothing wrong with those slides. Hope they replace them with new slides soon

The slides were probably rusty

A bird shit on the stairs so they decided the cost vs benefit equation didn’t provide a strong enough case to deploy a $12 an hour cleaner with a $2 bucket and $1 sponge for 45 seconds... CLOSE IT DOWN! 

[themagician]

The steel frame for the waterfall is still in place, so hopefully it’s replaced in this years off period.

And Mach 5 may have looked fine, but it could’ve had piping issues, rust or the slide pieces had an issue of their own

Mach V was second hand from Brazil everything has a lifespan. 

[Theme Park Enthusiast]

What year were those slides built in Brazil @Www worker 3.0

[themagician]

Did some research and it provided to be very hard to find. The slides were from a defunct water park, which closed in Brazil in around 2006. Couldn’t find when the slides originally opened, but I’d guess they would be up to 20 years old. 

I’m sure someone on these forums will have a greater knowledge about this

Mack V is just 'end of life'. It was old when they got it. Nothing really more interesting to it than that. 

[Sarahscott]

Has Mack 5 been removed yet?

[themagician]

Nope. Hasn’t been touched.

[StingRay]

This fills my heart with a lack of confidence. SBNO for how long now?.

[themagician]

Officially from December last year, but the Jet Streams first closed for ‘maintenance’ two years ago

Jetstreams operated for the last time mid October 2017 and Sidewinders wrapped up on 1 January 2018 (scheduled, however some say it was slightly before then). The shade sail was removed around February 2018.

However both attractions were only officially retired nearly a year later.

Based off VRTPs track record, these slides are done for

That's odd. And at the beginning of the summer season too?

[Brad2912]

Was funny they were promoting Black Hole on social media yesterday despite it being indefinitely closed...

[themagician]

I would say Block Hole is closed indefinitely because of delays receiving the new roof structure 

And the whirlpool, they’re crap and very unpopular so they should close

Unless they deleted it 

These were the last posts on WNW’s social media accounts

@Adventures With JWorld 

They deleted it when the first 20+ posts on it said either “it’s closed” or “it’s never open when I go there”

Whirlpool Springs was the worst slide there anyway.  

[MickeyD]

^ it was actually once kind of fun when the spas were covered over and the thing operated like a Spinner ride.

I only got to ride it once (years ago) and remember every Winter it became the boring Spas we see today. One Spring the Whirlpool ride never came back. Anyone know why they stopped it? Something to do with safety issues or too expensive to maintain?

[Brad2912]

Probably forgot to get the people out of the spa first... oh&s just sucks the fun out of life...
