Wahoo Racers

[Danhockey04]

On Whaoo Racers in Hurricane Harbor, the orange slides that have yet to open are half taken apart today. The turns before the drops are missing, they took them out and placed them by the other pieces.

I noticed the pieces yesterday while on bull but didn't know what they were from. Here I was, thinking they might put more slides in yet this year...duh...

[sixflagsguy5]

Does anybody know why they never opened and why they're taking out the slide peices? I thought that they didn't open it because they hadn't finished building it, but I guess that's wrong.

On my first trip of the season yesterday i noticed this to. I assumed they just hadn't finished putting them up yet, not that they had been up and then removed.......are they broken or something?

[DejaVu The Ride]

This will just be a mid-season modification. The slides opened minus the two middle ones. There seemed to be some clearance issues and the park and Proslide realized this real quick. Slide pieces for the modification have been on site for over 3 weeks. Hopefully Wahoo will re-open soon.

I've been on the left orange one that is taken apart. It was open a few weeks ago.

I have noticed lots of random orange and teal tubes around HH. I wonder what's going on...

[DejaVuGurl1203]

I think they're fixing it so that people won't get stuck so much trying to go down. It certainly looked like it, because I saw them working up there. Hopefully it will re-open soon. They're probably doing other modifications too.

with the way they force you to ride it now, it's almost guarnteed you will get stuck. Was better when they let you stand up and jump into the tube, rather than kneeling there and not having any forward momentum going into the tube.

People were getting stuck on the slides?

[themanoftheland8]

Yes. I saw quite a few people get stuck because they didn't push off hard enough and the mat got stuck. Then the lifeguard had to come over and push them down.

LOL "It's too big to be human. Send some kids down to dislodge it."
The slides look similar to the ones at King's Island. Can anybody that's been on both comment on which ones are better?

[sfga_24/7]

Yeah really when i was up there, there were a bunch of really small kids going on this slide and they couldnt even push off.

[SfGaMownz]

I drove past SF on my way back from Wisconsin today and noticed a crane that looked to be next to the Wahoo Racers, can anyone else confirm this?

[Binks Drake]

Yes...Parts of WR are gone already...

I rode PKI's but really can't compare them. If I remember correctly PKI's only has 4 and doesn't have the dips at the end....however the entrance to the slides did seem bigger on PKI's from what I remember.

When I rode them maybe a week before they closed them they were letting you stand up and jump in.
