Well, this is an extreme disappointment. These were my favorite slides in the park. Not to mention that they never even opened last year.

Now we know why Wahoo Run is closed. And I have a feeling they're redoing the tower to prepare for a new slide using the same tower next summer.

Absolutely lame. Loved those body slides.
I also agree that it looks like they’re just doing modifications to the slide tower for another future addition. That, or the wood on that tower was rotting and needed to be redone.
