Alien was popular but not with the soccer moms who forced their kids to ride it although the cast members advised them not. But the attraction was very good.that's a pretty weak pass. One was a replacement for an attraction that already had popularity problems. The other one was a transportation service.
Fast and Furious was heavily promoted, even more so than Fallon was, and landed with a giant thud.
PS - I didn't even know Discovery River Boats existed. I had to google it.
Discovery River Boats was not a transportation service because it went no where. Problem was it has nothing to look at except that one year they took a spider and other small animals into the boat. I actually liked it but it was hyped up in a park where there was hardly anything to do and because of that the wait times got insane for what it was.
Wait times for F&F are low, sure most people don't think it's great. I rather have it open than seasonal so at least I can try it when I'm there in the off season and enjoy the queue and a small part of the ride.
