Just talked to my SW source who said it looks like about three more weeks for Infinity Falls to open. Still ironing out problems (typical Intamin).
Was hoping to get a ride in by my 9/14 HHN trip...now I'm just hoping I''l be able to by my 8/11 trip. :afraid:Just talked to my SW source who said it looks like about three more weeks for Infinity Falls to open. Still ironing out problems (typical Intamin).
I think a lot of it is also that Seaworld throws less money to the construction, resulting in less manpower and hence more backup. This is not some novel new ride system, Intamin has done it before, as well as another company, so I can't really see this being an Intamin thing.
Midway Mayhem said in his recent video that Intamin has signed over operations to Sea World, is this true?Just talked to my SW source who said it looks like about three more weeks for Infinity Falls to open. Still ironing out problems (typical Intamin).
D&E is still in charge of the ride and operations to my knowledge (actual operators) are not sending the rafts yet. Intamin will remain on site for a while / even after opening to make sure things are going smoothly. People from SeaWorld have ridden, I promise you this.Midway Mayhem said in his recent video that Intamin has signed over operations to Sea World, is this true?
That's what soft openings are for^ Not necessarily. It's typical for the manufacturer to see a ride through its first few weeks of operations, as results are measured based on actual guests riding it, not just what comes up via testing. You'd be amazed what kind of feedback you can get by just observing how guests interact with your product - and make modifications as needed in real time. This is pretty standard with any kind of new ride commissioning, with adjustments being made over night before the next operating day.
People have been on it, Jeff Hornick for one.As far as I know no one has been on it yet. Apparently there are still issues that are being worked out.
