No it's still closed

Damn, how long has that been now? Do I remember correctly that they installed new restraints?

I feel like it has been over a year...I don't think it's coming back haha

It's been almost 2 years. First I can remember it being closed was Spring Break 2018 when I went to see Boyz II Men during Food & Wine.

Does anyone know if the S&S Screaming Swing project/Project Jethro is built with more expansion in mind? I can't imagine that it's just the Screaming Swing going there.

There's a good amount of space back there for something...bigger..should they choose to go that route

If I was a betting man, I would say that any coaster that goes back there won't be a giga. It'll be a family coaster.

Yes, everyone wants BGT to get a Giga...I just don't see it personally

To be totally honest, I would love to see them invest in something like Lightning Run...Family-ish type ride with a ton of air time

Some interesting news out of Seaworld San Antonio in the past 24 hours, as both a Screaming Swing and a Mack Powersplash got leaked for the park. Looks like SWE purchased another three ride deal for the Screaming Swings (they did that with the Skyrocket II's).

But it makes me wonder. The Project Jethro Screaming Swing is a bit out of the way (and yes, I still think it's happening). Maybe another ride (aka the Powersplash) could go back there as well?

I wonder if the plot next to Tigris could fit a PowerSplash.

Looks like Screamin' Swing air tanks may have arrived:

Fantastic

Why are they pink?

This looks like something for Adventure Island.

Honestly thought it was those old tube slides near the cliff jump for a second

It's a tad disappointing that those look like they are built to stand vertically and aren't the horizontally mounted tanks like Finnegan's Flyers has.

That pink is on the exact opposite side of the color wheel from go-away green.

Maybe they want you to see it

I was under the impression it would be a sandy/rocky color...but whatevs

This is weird thing to name a 300 ft B&M

A lot of hinting of something going on at the Bengal Bistro
