I am new to this Forum so I hope that I posted this in the right spot but I went to SeaWorld this afternoon and noticed that some of the theming has been removed from the Storm Coaster has anyone else noticed this and why they have done this?

Hey @Dano46610 welcome to the wonderful world of the Parkz forums. The theming was removed a month ago because they are extending the queue footprint to allow for more guests to be able to queue inside. They have also removed the seating area next to Jet Rescue and have added more queuing area for that ride too

You don't want to know.  @Dano46610 mate is like the first slice of bread, everybody touches but but no body wants.

The original queue area for JR has been removed entirely and this new area of queue that they built isn’t an extension, but simply the new queue area

I thought it was storm that had a new queue. Has JR's queue been changed too? to where?

Where the seating area used to be as @themagician said.

Also worth noting there is now a small storage bay for phones/glasses. Potato quality photo for reference.

 

Yeah noticed the JR queue on Carnivale night 

queue is where the red box is. Only the next grouping go into the existing queue area prior to boarding 

Any theories on why this changed?

Can somebody help? I can't seem to find the nightvision setting on the forums?

Is load becoming unload?

It doesn’t seem like it is. I remember the loading area was difficult to walk down because the original queue rail was so close to the load gates, so maybe this was the reason for the change

You could reduce your staffing levels by 1 person a day if you did...

Makes about as much sense as doing the same thing to MDMC. And I hate MDMC. But you're not talking sense man!

To each their own, but I think Jet Rescue is a great ride.

Aren't we talking about "Storm"? I'm just saying, in relation to "Storm" they didn't appear to really get a lot of bang, for a lot of bucks!

Oh Rob, its necessary to keep up here. Conversations devolve into whatever the most recent post talked about, and rarely does anything ever stay on topic long.

the total cost of storm involved a lot of ground works and demolition. the actual ride cost was only a fraction of the total build cost.
