themagician 3,577 Report post Posted May 13, 2017 On my way home at around 4. I saw the gondola on the western side go up the Giant Drop, stay up there for its usual time, and the drop. I couldn't see if people were riding it, but maybe it has reopened. Can anyone confirm it's reopening? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adventures With JWorld 1,195 Report post Posted May 13, 2017 can confirm I was at the park today and the western side was working Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themagician 3,577 Report post Posted May 13, 2017 That's good to hear. Maybe they've begun clearing the TRRR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Theme Park Girl 1,964 Report post Posted May 27, 2017 Western side is being tested again today 👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twilight Zone 9 Report post Posted May 27, 2017 Not sure if anyone knows, but the Western Side has actually been taking guests lately, Including Myself...So I can confirm that it is operating, Just rarely thought because there are some issues that are getting fixed.

MaxxTheMonster 473 Report post Posted June 6, 2017 On topic... For the last few weeks diring the drive home the West side has been slowly getting moved up and down the tower... Is it possible that work on this is the reason TOT2 is closed and issues keep moving that date around? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themeparkaddict 141 Report post Posted June 11, 2017 I was there yesterday and only the west side was operating. TOT seems unrelated, as I was told it was an operational issue with the launch mechanism. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean this with no morbidity - did you look much at the TRRR site, or just enjoy the view that the west side has always dished up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themeparkaddict 141 Report post Posted June 13, 2017 I had a look a few days ago up the giant drop. Not a change in the TRR site at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If DW's facebook page is to be believed... A few weeks ago someone asked about Blue Lagoon, the Ampitheatre and the Big Brother house... They replied that the external structure is still there but once it was confirmed the show was cancelled (for the second time), the production company removed the internal fittings... Basically it is now just a big shed... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
