Current Ride State/Recent Issues

Recent post-Boxing Day storms resulted in the removal of trees around the ride, reducing the natural shade in the area. It would be beneficial if new trees or other forms of shade could be planted to enhance guest comfort. Additionally, while the ride is generally smooth, there is noticeable roughness and a significant shuffle on the turn above the station that needs addressing.

The queue line for the Road Runner Rollercoaster needs see some much-needed improvements. Issues like peeling paint and worn-out railings will be addressed, ensuring a more pleasant experience for guests waiting to ride.
