Bungle in the Jungle - Legoland loses a ride.

[HarryBoyy]

This ride was great without the boxs. Im sad it is going to leave!

I heard the rumours, a tad sad it's true as I didn't manage to nab that credit

It may well get sold to another park, so you havent't lost the credit just yet.

Though it is most probably going to be shipped for Florida. But then would it really save them that much money though?

They havent announced it officially on the Legoland site, but they have removed the ride from their rides section of their website:

I never went on it with the covers on but without the cover on it was a fairly decent ride

Meh, I only ever rode it once without the covers and that was wayy back in 2006 so good riddance.

I remember thinking it was ok without the covers but still prefered the Dragon Coaster. The ride looks impressive and big when you see it though but it's a pretty boring ride.
When we went back a few years later and saw the covers we thought it was stupid. They still had the old signs in the queue marking the queue time and we joined at the 30 minute sign but because of the covers it was an hour and a half before we got on. And even then the ride was rough, force-less and really slow. The bar also really hurt my leg going into the brake run and my leg was in pain for the rest of the day.
So glad it's going though.

This was predictable, since Lego hated it since the whole cover issue...

Besides, this probably makes a new coaster in the next year more likely...

Unfortunately, I never went on it without the box. I'm not that sad to see it go, tbh.

I thought you liked the box?

 

[jokerman]

I didn't get this credit, which is irritating, but I don't realy think I missed out on much.

 

[furie]

Yes, but her box currently hurts her, so she had to go on it with her box, which made it a more unpleasant experience. Do you not read the bad news topic?

Great to see my site being linked to from here - thanks!

It is sad to see the thing go - before they messed up with the covers, it was a decent ride. However, with it removed, the park's management are expecting the average guest to get more rides done in a day, which is hardly surprising.

I say good riddance to the awful modifications, but it's just a huge shame they had to be made in the first place.
