Something i was just considering. What do you guys think this reconfiguration is going to do for wicked twisters ridership. for me usually when i go to cp wicked twister typically doesn't have a wait (or a very long one). do you guys think that tiki twirl might bring more peoples attentions to WT's entrance?
After working Wicked Twister for 3 years, I never understood why the ridership is so low. With the addition of Windseeker and Gatekeeper already in the surrounding area, sadly those rides haven't done poor WT any justice in terms of numbers. I would hate to see WT go due to low popularity. I absolutely love that ride in terms of working and riding.
I was noticing tonight that they look to be doing at least some pavement reconstruction greater than just plopping down the new mini-dodgem location. Entirely good of course. I'm curious if they'll be doing anything as meaningful as we saw by Gemini.

Wicked Twister's footprint is so tiny that I doubt it's going anywhere, but then again we said the same thing about Demon Drop so who knows. I'm curious to see how much of a comprehensive midway refresh this ultimately winds up being.
Did someone say it is even a possibility of WT going away? Parks don't normally build up a "brand"-ish thing on a whim. They've been officially calling this the Wicked Twister Midway, so I'd think WT is safe for a number of years.
Though I must admit, I'm a little surprised this isn't called the Gatekeeper Midway. Sure the current construction is all around WT, but Gatekeeper seems like the more logical anchor for the entire area.
