The second train still remains dismantled next to the Superman launch track...

Which explains the sign out the front saying "reduced capacity due to circumstances out of our control"

Would love to know why a train being dismantled is out of their control.

If a component was picked up as being below standard, and it wasn't meant to be for some time under the maintenance program, that'd be an unexpected failure and therefore outside of their control, would it not?

Yeah for sure.

 

I re-read what I wrote and it totally comes across in the wrong way. I was more just curious as to why, not blaming them for using an excuse.
 

Rivals is expected to go down for maintenance again for a few short days this month.

They'd better hurry up! We've already had the solstice and days are only getting longer from here!

Roadrunner well and truly being stripped back. 

Apparently the friction brakes on the final brake run will be removed to make way for magnetic brakes instead?

If they are getting a new train it makes perfect sense to upgrade the braking system too.

So no more tooth chipper?

Aww, but I liked hitting a brick wall at speed... 

Looks like the original attraction entry arch won’t be returning 

And the track has been repainted 

The new trains for Road Runner are in testing stages already now...

Train was in testing today.

And who’s ready to see the most disappointing attraction entrance sign we’ve seen from MW?

 

 

 

 

 

 

RR bringing back the 80's

 

 

I'm sorry but this is what I see when I look at the trian   

Did Movie World get a great deal with a sign printer or somethign? Why are they replacing their old 3D signs with these new flat ones...

Something I noticed during the testing was they have added some sound effects/audio of road runner as the train leaves and arrives at the station and ascends up the lift hill. I believe there was porky pig and maybe another character who did announcements

Oh no, they forgot to include 'Next Generation'!

Let's just hope the new brakes don't feel like hitting a brick wall

The brakes are on the track, not on the train. I’m not sure if they’ve tweaked the brake run but I wouldn’t necessarily be expecting that will be different 

Apparently WWF is getting new boats/lap bars for each individual

Likely then to need a loader on the other side of the boat unless they plan on stopping the boats to load. 1 person Checking 8 lap bars while the boat is in motion seems unlikely 

Yeah a few months ago I saw a picture floating around of the new boats, we talked about it a few weeks ago on the Theme Parkcast episode about the ride.

I'll see if I can remember where I saw it and post it if I can find it again!

Wild West Falls is defiantly getting a brand new fleet of boats from White Water with each guest having their own personal lapbar. Similar intent to Road Runner however differing in design. From my understanding this will mean the station is being upgraded to a progressive station with multiple blocks (Waiting, Unload, Load).
