Walygator : Past and Future

[Benzin]

Well it says it's opening in June on the poster...

Missing it as well, but we'll all be sick of them at the rate Zamperla are adding them in

 

[Rob]

Not quite a Huss Jump2 then! Still, I'd imagine this is a good addition for the park. Not too fussed about missing it being open considering that Drayton are getting one.

 

[Sam]

This isn't the only new attraction for 2014!

The 'Waly Boat', this boat ride...

...is getting a refurbishment and a retheme!

It will see the park mascot, Waly, take a tour through nine countries of the world. Here's the concept art from Waly.biz

Germany.

Australia.

France (obv).

Luxembourg (???).

Belgium.

Mexico.

(the well known country of) Africa.

China.

United States.

Clearly cheap and cheerful, but looks like a pleasant improvement!

Forward thinking fun for all the family in 2014, as loveable Alligator Waly is set to turn his gun on a sleeping, unarmed Mexican! Ay Gringo!

... He's taking a photograph?!

On a serious note though, this looks alright, yeah, cheap and cheerful as Sam said. But sitting alongside the Air Race, I am sure it will provide a little more of just what the park needs!

Besides, it's clear to see that it will be better than what's there now... Nothing!

Ah, so he is! Still a bit weird, mind.

 

[Benzin]

Will this also be opening in the Summer?

Shame if so, I like a good tacky boat ride...

 

[Pedro]

I do hope they change the motor, because this boatride is famous for one thing: it was so slow that it was 40min long to come back to the station!

 

[Lottie.]

40 minutes for one boat ride...

I could use that time to sleep.

 

[Pedro]

That is what some guests did, considering there was nothing to see or to do during this 40 minutes.

 

[Sam]

More confirmation from GCI that they will be working on Anaconda this year.

From an ACE Convention.

 

[Pedro]

New 2014 map was released today on the parc's facebook page.

Anaconda retracking is on its way.

[Rob]

Don't have the source of the information I'm afraid but seen over on CF that it's been confirmed in an interview that Monster will get a re-paint and station building next year along with some theming around the ride.

 

[DiogoJ42]

Oooooh! Maybe it will even get a fence round it's ride area?

 

[Lordy]

Anyone hear if the retracking of Anaconda made any difference?

 

[Rob]

Last I saw it still wasn't open and may not re-open again this year. Can't be certain though!

 

[Benzin]

Anyone hear if the retracking of Anaconda made any difference?

It was crap last year (also not helped by the braking system being absolutely buggered and allowing trains to stop wherever they felt like, including halfway in the station), I believe the current closure is to do further retracking, but no idea...

 

[Lordy]

Well, kudos to them for actually spending money on that. Though it seems like it may have been worth while starting from scratch...

 

[djtruefitt]

When we went a few months back the park maps said that Anaconda is closed now till next year.
