Check out the new photos on that page. It looks like the parking lot entrance to Hurricane Harbor was completely demolished.
Good catch! Finally putting in a permanent gate possibly. With more turn styles and metal detectors to get people in quicker hopefully
Honestly, at this point I think we'd be lucky if it get rebuilt at all this year and they don't just leave it unfinished (and unusable) to save money...
To be honest, they have footers, the catch pool & the pump room installed/almost finished. I think it's def still on track oddly. But -
USO announced that it's not opening until pretty much June. So at this point, SF along with many many others if not all, will soon do the same. Which sucks so bad. So this COULD just open with the park.

That depends if they're working on it at all while the park is closed. Does anybody know? I know some parks are working on construction during this time and some aren't...
Almost every park has the new for 2020 ride as the top thing under 'Rides'
Great America has removed Tsunami Surge from that spot, but there's still an article about it under 'articles' and it's still there if you look at the New for 2020 link.
Discovery Kingdom has removed all links to their ride everywhere.
So SOMETHING appears to be up, they probably are pushing Tsunami Surge to 2021, they've just done a half-assed job of it so far. It'll be interesting to see if they make additional changes to the site soon.

Yeah, it still appears under Rides for me, but yeah Discovery Kingdom removed their ride even for What's New it just shows Batman. I believe that it is most likely that Discovery Kingdom could have canceled their 2020 attraction due to budget cuts.
How come Lightning Rod is never open when I go.
Top 10: 1. El Toro 2. Steel Vengeance 3. I305 4. Fury 325 5. Maverick 6. Mako 7. Iron Rattler 8. Medusa Steel Coaster 9. Raptor Clones 10. Maxx Force.
To update from a few weeks ago, I checked all the Six Flags sites again and they've ALL removed all mention of their new rides from the home page (even parks like SFGAv, where it seems pretty obvious the ride is going ahead). Discovery Kingdom still remains the only one that removed the 'what's new' page for 2020, but they've at least fixed their link to go to their 2019 page instead of just a File Not Found...
Someone I know who lives near the park says vertical construction on Tsunami Surge has begun. It’s possible the ride will be constructed but just never open in 2020.
Mike said on the Q1 call that $50 million has already been spent on capital expenditures. Things they couldn’t control per se. (like contracts to build the new rides, etc etc)
Mike made no mention of any 2020 capital expenditures being delayed. He just said the total they’d spend is $40-$50 million less.
Although this is completely illegal I believe, meaning you can’t fly a drone over the park without permission from Six Flags directly, someone did it last week and here’s the video from YouTube.
I see somebody changed the title of the thread to say 2021 now. It seems obvious that's what's happening, but did they ever make any sort of official announcement of it?
