Personally I’m still not sure. I’m hearing wooden coaster but have also heard of the flying theater. The problem is is that both rumors are just that, rumors. TB there’s just not enough info out as of now to know for sure as I personally haven’t seen any info to truly confirm either one
Like the updates but any idea when it will open. It needs to be open in June. Still need to get 500 test runs in before it can open. My vacation was planned thinking this would be open. Wasn't originally supposed to be open by may.
That’s a great question. Originally it was supposed to be open in spring but who knows. They technically can open it in June and have it still be spring. I don’t know when they will open it. Just when you think testing might start, they start doing more work and it seems to delay it more. I would say give it a month after we see a full pull through and depending if the theming is done by then, we should see the test cycles begin. As long as they don’t run into any issues testing.
@Kingdakev the thing is the track has been done for months and they have plenty of time to do pull thru. I don't know what all is going on inside. From what I know. 500 cycles have to be done before the state certifies it. That's going to take more than a couple days. Even if test non stop. At this point Phoenix rising will be open before this. We were there last June and they had already been started on this. I only get to come once a year and don't want to wait till next year to ride this.
Honestly you can complete 500 cycles in a few days. A good example of another three train coaster that does more than 500 cycles a day would be hulk. If crews are really moving they can get close to 600 dispatches in a 10 hour operating day and normally the ride runs longer than that. Now I know this is going to take more than a day of testing. I would say once testing starts, prob a month or so later we should previews or soft openings. The state might need 500 successful cycles, but that doesn’t include how many cycles each train needs to be commissioned. I could see the park focusing on two train operation at first and getting that fine tuned and cycling the third train over night after the ride is opened to try to get the coaster opened sooner than later. That’s just my opinion though
Great update, please keep them coming. I hope penguin trek open soon this is taking forever
I agree! I thought we would have seen testing by now but I guess not.
Jk testing has officially started!
Thanks for the update Kevin! Testing soon!!!!

They were testing it today!!!!
I saw! Sadly I couldn’t be there today!
So much progress!
There was so much more than what I thought there would be!
You think the Wild Arctic project will be a flying theater?

@@Kingdakev it just needs to be open by June 16th.
Testing has started!
