Infinity Falls - 2018 Raft Ride

[Magic-Man]

Odds at this being open September 20th?

Likely.

So is Fast and Furious the best attraction of the summer? :grin:

CineCel.

CineCel.

Should have rephrased as "ride". But yeah, Cine has been the best addition this year.

Steel Vengeance...oh wait...we're talking about in FL...lol

Realistically, what are the odds of this being open by the 14th? I'm at the point with SeaWorld where I could take it or leave it but this being open will sway me and I'd rather have my tickets now before I leave on the 7th.

I would think that it could be a possibility. Haven't heard anything since last week though.

Walls were all still up on Saturday and workers with construction hats were operating the ride. At this point I don't believe regular operational staff has been running the ride yet. If that is the case I think it has at least another week or more before it could open.

So, is it the lift that is causing them headaches still or something else? Has anyone said?

 

[Magic-Man]

Man, 2019 is going to be such a big year for Florida theme parks! We have SWGE, the new Harry Potter coaster, Mickey’s Runaway Railway, BGT’s new Skyrocket, Sesame Street, and Infinity Falls!

Haha, at this point it's better if they just aim for next summer and soft open it the rest of the year

I'm kidding of course

SWO's attendance has been really positive this year, imagine what it could have been like if they had opened this earlier!

The regular ride operators are there on site with hard hats and long pants, right there along side D&E. They've been there for weeks now as watchful eyes whenever the water is on.

Lift is doing fine now. Biggest issue they've had in the last few weeks was a major pump went out and they had to replace it...thus why the rafts were sitting on the lifts for a bit. It has been testing over the last few days again however. Fingers crossed the walls come down soon.

Glad too hear - hope they get the walls down and opened soon.

That's a nice size splash down the boats make!

I’m really happy this ride is being constructed as it’s needed to help SWO boost and keep a steady attendance.

Some of the areas surrounding the ride still look rather bald of trees and plants.

I'm not seeing any bare spots except backstage areas that won't be easily seen from the ride or within the park.

It looks like opening should be within the next week or two...
