Minor Updates, Rumors, and Happenings
Wonder if they’re actively demolishing Buccaneer Battle as we speak or they’re just keeping it behind a fence for the season (like the past 2 seasons or so)
I agree with you and others that they are killing the park with all the homogenizing of it. It's losing its uniqueness sadly! Hopefully SW Territory and County Fair are never renamed or rethemed Single Day Ride Count Record

I saw DC Universe from a mile away but if they re-theme anymore areas I will be pissed like they better not touch SWT or Hometown Square !!
Losing any part of the park would suck. So many sections have been extremely watered down that they feel out of place. Yukon Territory is basically on life support. The only thing which even remotely resembles the Canadian Yukon is Loggers Run (which, fun fact, actually has authentic Canadian trees from the Yukon region planted around it). I wouldn't be surprised if Yukon Territory gets axed next which is sad as looking at old photos, the place used to be beautiful with a lively atmosphere and great views in the old back porch area.
Yep. Once Batman: The Ride replaced The Tidal Wave in Yankee Harbor, it's days were counted. The nail in the coffin was Joker being added. Honestly surprised they didn't retheme it earlier.
...and the pages for Buccaneer Battle and Dare Devil Dive were finally deleted. They return a "Not found" error now and the direct links to them have disappeared from Google so it's basically a given. RIP Buccaneer Battle and Dare Devil Dive.
According to Screamscape (via Theme Park Tourist), a new replacement ride is planned to open in 2024. They expected the ride to be demolished in 6-18 months since August 8, 2022.

I hope not for a CRaptor due to terrible capacity

I'm much inclined to agree with you, but it beats Buccaneer Battle's capacity by a long shot and what else would fit there? Giant Discovery maybe? "I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
Agreed!! We already have low capacity rides in Joker, Maxx Force and Goliath . Love the name you gave it!! But Goku does bring up a great point! Pretty much ANYTHING we get is better than Suckaneer Battle! Hopefully our new park president plans strategically and wisely on the new ride. I'd actually be thrilled if we got a screaming swing after riding one at Cedar. Super fun ride and tons of airtime! Last edited by CoasterRiderSC on April 3rd, 2023, 8:21 pm, edited 1 time in total.

The article says "Popular water ride to be removed". WHEN exactly was this ride ever popular? Single Day Ride Count Record

Epic, thanks for sharing!
>Screamscape Don't even need to read the rest to know that whatever they said is not happening. Some time, on way to successful, first of steps of all of the steps to being successful steps are hardest of all of the steps to successing.
I mean.... It's pretty obvious that Buccaneer Battle is dead and it's most likely due to a planned replacement. Screamscape didn't provide anything specific so we can't really say they are 100% wrong.
Buccaneer battle has been long rumored to be removed and the map confirms it along with DDD, screamscape has just been wrong so many times I don't ever even think to look at them for sources. Some time, on way to successful, first of steps of all of the steps to being successful steps are hardest of all of the steps to successing.
I was being serious! I rode Suckaneer Battle 2-3x and the line was like 15 minutes! Single Day Ride Count Record

I dont believe DDD is SFGAm's ride, generally Sky Coasters are leased, though with the multiple IP changes in the past decade, not sure if that's still the case or if Ride Entertainment owns them all now. It would be up to the owner of the ride to come remove it generally.
