News Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster closing for refurbishment in January 2024

[trainplane3]

I don't know that I would ride it if I knew there was more work to still be done. I don't know, it just seems a little dangerous, but I guess that depends on what the work actually is.

Just standard maintenance along with some brake system work/rebuild.

Literally nothing out of the ordinary. All coasters go through similar but smaller seasonal work. It's only remotely noteworthy because RnRC has been running year round for over twenty years with only minor closures during that time.

Chances of it being fixed in 1st 2 weeks of July? Coming from the UK so hoping i get Tiana Bayou and RNR timed right

It’s interesting, because the ride itself from a guest perspective was in the best condition I had ever seen it after it opened from the last lengthy refurb

I think the current problem is they changed the vendor they get the brakes from and the new ones are burning?

I thought we NEEDED to burn rubber to get to the concert on time!

Many will never ride or drive the new 2024 Porsche 911 Turbo S, O-60 in 2.1 sec. The launch at RnR is 0-60 in 2.9 sec.

RnRC only reaches 57 mph because of the aforementioned egos of the five band members. Joe Perry takes 1 mph off all by himself.

Is that stat for RnR launch real? Interesting.

In Wiki it states 0-57 in 2.8 sec but the cast member at launch bay let us know it was 0-60mph at 2.9 sec.

Trust RCDB, Duane knows his stuff.

Any ideas of a date yet. This site says maybe may 31st now reading earliest June 30th. I’m there first 2 weeks of jul so was hoping this would be open as it was 1 of the rides I was looking forward to the most

All they’ve said is “summer” but I presume they wouldn’t have said that if they thought it would miss July 4. They have not specified a date, however.

Maybe the 0-60 is extrapolated?

 

[nestface84]

Any idea of date of completion

 

[nestface84]

So Tiana bayou water ride has officially got the drop date. Any chance of the re-open date too?

I’m hoping they have an internal goal of it being open by then to help spread crowds to other parks. Whether that happens or not remains to be seen.

Will they just drop the news its open. or maybe a few weeks out give a completion date. im coming from the UK first 2 weeks of July. hoping its open for then

Why do I feel like they aren't doing anything in there and just letting it sit while saving money on operation costs. Being that it's closed until the middle of July, it seems like it's closed indefinitely. This is gonna be another Rocket Rods, Horizon, or Stitch situation.

That is not the case.

 

[nestface84]

im really hoping this isnt closed that long

 

[ToTBellHop]

They had wanted it open by July 4 but I don’t know if the actual work is going to allow that. Haven’t heard much.
