So let me get this straight:
Surfrider first made news around February 2007
Track was onsite around April 2007
Ride was testing around September 2007
Ride opened on 23 September 2007
Total time lapsed - 7-8 months, or six months from delivery to opening.
The relocation had been in planning since August 2022
Construction began in April 2023
It is now March 2024
We're now twice the original build time
We're now 18 months from when it was 'planned'
The ride still doesn't have a train on track, let alone testing or theming.
How incompetent are these people?
Interestingly, their latest posts about Flash haven't mentioned that tagline anymore. Hopefully they've realised how stupid it was and dumped it for good.
I think a lot of people on socials are getting confused about it given the proximity and the red track. I think it will be harder to confuse in-park, but certainly the marketing has people very confused when a lot of folk recognise it as surfrider - being a retheme of an existing ride, and others confusing it for superman, and assuming the retheme is a retheme of superman...
