Snake River Falls not working also?

I'm not surprised in the least snake river falls hasn't opened yet.

millenniumpotato, why are you not surprised about Snake River Falls? Are they planning to not open it this year?🤔

Most likely not surprised as there is still a lot of work going on there. A big change from a few days ago is that the trains are now on site so that’s a plus for anyone who wants to ride Snake River Falls.

It was closed every single time I went last year, by October it was looking kind of hopeless for a early 2024 reopening.

I like to get WET when i go to the park. Hopefully it will be open in a few weeks! ;)

Well, there’s hope. Not sure if anyone noticed this weekend or not, but the pond is filled with water and there’s a boat parked in the station at Snake River Falls. However they probably couldn’t start testing if they wanted too, as the water level after the runout where the cement part of the barrier/trough to get back to the station is currently above the top of the barrier/trough as of this afternoon.

There are both operations and maintenance staff at Snake River Falls right now. Water is also coming down the hill but there are no trains running at this time. Still a positive step forward for those who want the ride opened. I am not a fan of water rides but I know a lot of folks are.

I just saw on the webcams a train go down the hill. (Looked empty however)

Well now I'm wondering why on earth the CP&LE RR went down the SRF hill. And more importantly, how it got to the top in the first place.

Dvo, I think CPkid77 meant to say boat, but typed train just out of habit from the coasters. No need to worry 😂

I did the same thing in my post, meant boat not train. The sign did say Snake River will not open today but they seem to be very close. Wouldn’t surprise me if it was open tomorrow or Friday just in time for the warm weather.

Still closed with the "Will Not Open Today" sign, but constantly testing. At least it's still running 😊. Hopefully, it will open tomorrow or this weekend.

According to the queue times website, Snake River Falls is open today.

Anyone know if Thunder Canyon open yet? Its too hot!

Thunder Canyon has been open.

Useless trivia: Snake River Falls is the only operating (non-kiddie) ride in the park I have never ridden. Never taken that Pepsi Plunge.

When we were there last week they were cycling SRF; watching from the brief line for Skyhawk. More than once a boat would go up (and one time we watched two go up) into the "shed" (or whatever you call that structure at the top), and they would not come down. My guess is that they were testing some safety feature that stops the boats from descending the hill.

There’s a little lift before the drop that serves as a block brake. I’m not sure why they’d let a couple of boats stack up there but maybe they were testing scenarios.
I had 2 rides that came and went with me never taking a single ride. One was Swan Boats, Maverick fixed that one for me, and the other was Shoot the Rapids and Intamin fixed that one for me.

SRF was open as of yesterday, albeit running a single boat. Boat 2 was hooked up to the transfer crane, and Boat 3 does not have its running wheels installed yet.

I'm not sure if I've ever been on SRF either. I imagine that I have, but maybe not. Also not sure about Pipe Scream.

It's been quite a few years since I've been on SRF but I do recall it giving much more of a butterfly in my stomach feeling than any other ride's drop in the park. Not sure if it's the impending wall of water that's coming or what but that feeling remains fairly vivid in my mind.

In my home videos from around 96/97 that bridge was absolutely packed with folks trying to get splashed. I don’t really notice anymore but it feels like it’s not as much of a thing anymore to crowd around and get splashed.
