Infinity Falls - 2018 Raft Ride

[SWBGFan]

I'd imagine once all the foliage grows in this will look incredible. Really wish this ride has a little bit more rockwork though, like some waterfalls or a cave after the lift. But hey, at this point I just wanna ride this dang thing!

Agreed. I guess I just expected more of a thick jungle since they weren't continuing rock work after the first lift. Looks like they just did their standard fare landscaping job that they do throughout the park. Some more bamboo and taller plants would have really helped this section. To your point, it'll look nice in a few years, just a bit sparse at the moment.

According to someone that works there...they have to run the ride 24 hours a day for 2 weeks straight before it can open.

No ride gets tested for 24 hours continuously

 

[Wes]

Well maybe not 24 hours a day but continuously for 2 weeks from the time the workers arrive til after the park closes

Usually commissioning requirements are met by hours tested/operated.

Right. Whether they choose to run it constantly to meet the hours tested requirements, or spread it out, is up to SeaWorld. (If they want to open sooner, running it 24 hours a day may not be the worst idea lol.)

 

[Wes]

Well if you did it in hours, 24 hours a day over 14 days comes to 336 hours.

If they only ran it during an average operating day (say 9 to 6), it would take almost 38 days.

Even at 6am to 10pm, you would be at 21 days

That was what I had heard as well was once the ride was signed over to Operations they would be running 24 hours a day to get the test procedures done.

what are the updated odds on this being open next week?

50/50.

Fingers crossed it opens before the end of the month. At least as a compromise they are giving out free beer to AP members for the month hah.

awwww I wanted to ride this on the 20th.

If this doesn’t open in September there are a lot of questions SeaWorld has to answer for.

I’ve got until the 21st to ride. It’s looking more bleak by the day.

 

[rhino4evr]

maybe they are waiting for winter time to open it, so there will be shorter lines.

 

[happy bunny rabbit]

maybe they are waiting for winter time to open it, so there will be shorter lines.

Why would they want that?

sarcasm.

 

[cwgator]

Too bad it won't be open Saturday. I probably won't be back until NYE after that and won't be getting on a water ride then...even if it's open
.....lol

That compromise don't fly with those of us who don't like beer...lol
