The big water splash down on Blazing Fury has been removed this year and was replaced with simple magnetic breaks. For those of you who aren't familiar with BF, it's almost an identical twin to SDC's Fire-in-the-hole, but with some differences in layout and theming.
This news really did hit me. It isn't always so obvious when a piece of the old uniqueness and originality of the old days of SDC and DW is lost forever like this.
I'm sure the company has it's reasoning for the move, but in the end it just shows they're too cheap to work around the issues with their aging classic attractions. However, they have done extensive work on this ride, FITH, Flooded Mine, and others in recent years, so it's not like they're completely letting the classics fade away, but more and more moves like this will sure lead to it. I just don't get why they couldn't have worked around whatever issue was at play here.
Thoughts?
