How long do we think Incredicoaster might be closed?

[Minnie1986]

Hi All. Long time no visit this side of the forum, but hope to be more active now that I'm somewhat of a local. I have an upcoming trip (mid to late September) for my bday, and Incredicoaster is my second favorite ride. With the closing scheduled for 7.28, and no timeframe or reopen date announced (at least for Radiator they told us "a little over a month"), do we think realistically, that it might be open by later into September? As of today has it as "closed for refurbishment" through 8.20. Of course, I know that no one but Disney knows for sure; but I'd love to see other people's thoughts/guesses/commentary.

Also, thoughts and prayers to anyone visiting DCA will both Incredicoaster and Radiator are closed; I can only imagine how much every other line will inflate.

As long as it takes.

No one here knows for sure, it all really depends on what they are doing.

If this is a normal refurb it maybe a few weeks to a month, so would be open by the end of August. But if its part of a larger project, like the start of Coco ride project which is happening right behind it, it may be longer.

Yeah, I know; just thought it might be fun to speculate.

My guess would be the end of August just in time for Oogie Boogie to start.

All I'll say is that Incredicoaster has been breaking down a looooot recently. It needs this refurb.

I really hope you're right

I think Incredicoaster has to to be back up by 8/18 when RSR goes down. There’s no way they can afford to have both of those down at the same time. Especially with Mission Breakout running at 2/3 strength.

That's what I thought as well, but as of this morning, Incredicoaster is still scheduled to be down as of August 23rd. DCA is going to be a hot mess if both are down simultaneously.

Same thing happened with Matterhorn recently and then suddenly it was returning within the timeframe it was already scheduled to still be offline. If the refurb does extend into the time RSR is also under refurb I imagine they’d want to limit that to as least time as possible.

If they somehow try to run DCA with only 2/3 shafts on guardians, 1/2 on Soarin, no Incridicoaster and no RSR they shouldn’t be selling that park at full price. What a nightmare, only the two shooters and the raft ride fully functioning headliners, yikes!

Operating hours have been added beginning August 15:

Hopefully they replace the loop during the refurb: it's weirdly rough and in a way that's distinctly noticeable when compared the rest of the ride.

It was just replaced in the last year.

 

[PiratesMansion]

It was just replaced in the last year.

It sure doesn't ride like it; it rides exactly the same way I remember it riding the past few years, but a quick internet search shows you are correct.

Which then begs the question: why is the loop so rough given that it is so new, and why is the rest of the ride so smooth by comparison? What is happening on Incredicoaster that isn't happening on every other looping coaster I can think of?

I just rode it last weekend and it seemed fine to me, didn't seem rough compared to every other time I've rode it in the last decade. But maybe I just don't notice it.

They replaced it. They didn't improve it.

 

[Too Many Hats]

They actually replaced the loop last year? LOL. It’s rough AF.

Still possibly the highlight of the ride (well, the launch is probably the best moment, but the loop is second). To its credit, the loop’s roughness helps prevent riders from falling asleep during the coaster’s otherwise boring layout.

They should’ve replaced the plastic Incredibles figurines instead.
