The Wave (formerly known as Shockwave)

Today’s operations were massively improved as the map bars could come down in one move rather than the usual half way first routine.

I wonder what’s changed!

This has been the case for a while, I believe Drayton had ART engineering back in to update the train to be capable of doing the necessary verification of the two restraint systems.

I wonder if they will order another train? How long did u have to queue? Only done it once so far cause of the queue length.

15 mins from the switch backs at the bottom of the middle stairs if that makes sense. Definitely felt faster than it has been

I didn’t go on it yesterday but it was walk on most of the day. I did see some empty seats at times.

Great photos! I do hope that the park will look at repainting the ride soon. Especially with Splash Canyon’s water drained, it would be an ideal time to do so! I’d also like them to repaint the station, maybe back to how it looked in ‘94 with it’s Wild West theme. As in a way, the blue paint dosn’t suit the extirior (in my opinion).

I saw them pressure washing the track struts durring Feb half term (removing the green!). Not sure if it got a paint too..
