Announce replacement? No
Announce its demise? Maybe after another year or two of vague conflicting answers from their official channels. 

It is Wikipedia, so take with a grain of salt, but still...

Tbf, enthusiasts jump at any opportunity to be the one who updated the wiki with date of death. 

I doubt they’ll ever announce its closure. Over the past few years, they never released a statement about the closures of Vikings, Skyway or Mach 5. At some point someone will ask on social media and MW might respond. But that will be it. The ride won’t be touched until they decide on a new attraction. And that won’t be for another couple years.

They did for Vikings - https://www.facebook.com/7NewsGoldCoast/posts/the-viking-revenge-flume-ride-at-sea-world-gold-coast-australia-has-been-retired/1097124120386275/

You must have forgotten about the exciting new attraction that replaced it in 2019.

@westical oh yeah, i forgot about that exciting new attraction.

That seems unlikely my guess is that they will announce the ride to close after white Christmas then start demolition then start dropping hints about its replacement late next year then early 2022 they will announce the ride then begin construction and then the ride should realistically if all this happens in that time frame It should  open late 2022 or early 2023 don’t count me on that just guessing 

 

Dude... please learn the location of a full-stop... and use it at least occasionally.

Mate, it is part of the guidelines for the community so it isn't just expected by @AlexB.

6 weeks off school seems a good time to do some work on that.

I don't think 6 weeks will help if the prior 11 months of schooling failed

I know this is obvious, but I’ve had confirmation from multiple staff members (higher up in the company) that the ride has retired. And multiple options are being explored 

Still no official word though

Wikipedia entry corrected.

They would of known the ride was on its last legs for some time now. Wouldn't any company find it prudent to have a strategic plan of having a replacement lined up for the inevitable day when it was no longer able to operate/not cost appropriate to keep operating it?

I'm sure a certain log flume at Sea World would have something to say about that.

I somehow doubt any companies’ strategic plan accounted for a worldwide pandemic that ripped a hole in the global and domestic tourism industries’ ass....

MW just posted on their Insta story and look what’s made an appearance in the background

Unfortunately it hasn’t returned, this is just some old footage they’ve posted 

It’s offical 

 

I guess it was getting on in years. 

Wow, so after saying a couple of weeks back that AA was staying, MW just says on a DM it getting retired.
