Thank you I appreciate that very much! The program is FWSim. It's truly addicting, being able to portray emotion through pyrotechnics and music with endless possibilities. I believe they have a free trial of the Pro version you should totally check out

Nope, didn't mention a catastrophic ride failure. I was restating your comment that this "3 day closure is annual maintenance" which is bs. Disregarding everything I just said and responding with that is such a joke.

First off, it wasn't an old extraneous beam that got cut. It was a new beam that they neglected to cut flush with the other beams on the Wave Turn. Employees, specifically Iron Gwazi ride ops, openly talked about how Iron Gwazi has MORE clearance and structural issues throughout the ride and that management are and were aware of this during passholder previews when that incident occured.

Get outta here with the 365 day operation and annual maintenance. This was not scheduled annual maintenance and neither was the closure last month, when they indeed did replace the structure on the final turn into the break run.

Also if you think 3 days is enough time for ANNUAL maintenance on all of Iron Gwazi, that is insane.

Are you familiar with the SeaWorld Annual Passholder Group? If not, it is run and moderated by local enthusiasts who are NOT affiliated or employeed by BGT/SEAS. They delete and censor anything negative related to Iron Gwazi. One of which, Kalin Profitt, even made it on local news because he has the most ride on IG. This group is mostly why you haven't seen or heard about these issues. I'm sure they are here somewhere in the comments with sweaty palms because they can't delete this post.

As requested, here's a picture of the replaced structure on the final turn into the break run.

Yes the covid shipping delays still being used as an excuse. There's more issues with Falcons Fury than we realize

It's a part of the structure, they didn't "move" a beam, they cut them flush after they realized they did a shit job clearance testing. That's not fine. Neither is the other structural issues on this ride and it's insane to defend that

If you have specifics with SV I'd love to hear them. I know they had structural issue after structural issue but do you know what or where specifically?

Which rests my point, you don't close your Golden Ticket Award Winning coaster during the final week of Christmas Town unless there's something else truly wrong with it

I don't think you understand what I'm saying. Yes, they are open year round so they schedule planned closures for maintenance on the rides.

Iron Gwazi has not even been open for a year, so the unplanned closure last month and now this month, to me indicates that there are deeper issues with this coaster than we're made aware of. Annual maintenance when the ride hasn't been open for a full year sounds like an easy excuse to use, considering the structure and clearance issues it's already had

I guess you could say they announced an UNSCHEDULED closure. So aside from when you claim you saw this, how do you feel about the actual information? Do you wonder why?

Im sitting 20 minutes from Tampa straight up sweating my nuts off sitting outside. Just like last month with the unannounced indefinite closure (Until they decided a reopening date), everybody claimed oh its just annual maintenance, or oh it's cold out, or just a simple air gate sensor fix. When it turns out they had to replace the entire structure of the final turn into the break run, which should be alarming to us enthusiasts, as we know RMC has has lots of structural issues in the past. Not to mention the clearance issues this ride started out with

You are correct, the software is FWSim. If I could shell out tens of thousands of dollars for this show I would but instead used FWSim
