Closed again for 'annual' maintenance. Expect more guest facing additions and less actual maintenance.
Beetlejuice got the boot.I haven't been on JTA since a year or so after it first opened. Does it still have the lift hill with the Beetlejuice soundtrack and view of the nearby road?
Morrow... where's our better JoT you promised?!Did it two times yesterday, doesn't seem anything has changed.
Just thought I'd post, Journey to Atlantis queue is currently
100 minutes!
With a 40 minute Quick Queue line.
Never heard of queues like this at SeaWorld since 2013 at least!
I wouldn't count on it ever returning to its former self*looks to see if they actually ever fixed effects like they said they would*
*notices nothing’s changed*
*goes back to general indifference*
That ride when it was first built rivaled Splash Mountain* and superseded Ripsaw Falls. Oh, what time leaves behind!I wouldn't count on it ever returning to its former self
Yes, very sad. A classic case of why theme parks need to spend the necessary funds to maintain their attractions, especially their feature attractions. Same story with the deterioration of Dark Kastle at BGW, even though it was a fairly new attraction. Same company in charge in both cases. Both attractions were built by AB, a previous ownership group, that believed in maintaining their rides.That ride when it was first built rivaled Splash Mountain* and superseded Ripsaw Falls. Oh, what time leaves behind!
*obviously did not supersede Splash Mountain... like obviously
Is there a new version?Am I the only one who prefers the current version of JTA? I feel that it's more upbeat and vibrant. (I never got to ride it in its heyday, first ever ride was in 2012)
*Please don't kill me
I’d expect whatever comes next year is some sort of renovation or refurbishment. They don’t need more attractions right now.Depending on when Sesame Street is expected to open/start construction I could see SeaWorld finally renovating JTA. If Sesame is the 2020 addition, that leaves next year with no announced or leaked additions. A renovation of JTA, not dissimilar to last year's VR Kraken and the Dolphin Nursery, could be an off-year addition with some type of added gimmick. Plus Infinity Falls would allow for JTA to be closed without having a significant impact on the park.
