RWB @SFWoA - CoasterBuzz

Does anyone know why the track is off on the one turn by the queue of Raging Wolf Bobs? I was at Fright Fest on this Friday night and noticed this. I saw one employee and a guest standing there and they both said that this was a known fact that RWB would not run next year at all because they have begun dismantling it, and that they are getting a new Intamin as they both said "fast" coaster over 200 feet tall. I told them neither of this had been confirmed, so has anyone here heard anything about this?

Word on the 'Net is that Raging Wolf Bobs is getting a much-needed retracking...I daresay this may be the first retracking the ride has had since 1988.

Even more word on the net:

1) RWB is only getting half retracked The second half (the one that needs it the most) Then the second half is being retracked the year after.

2) A few employees say it's leaving (but I highly doubt that) to make room for the new "World" they are building which has been confirmed (though no opening date has been set yet.)

3) RWB is getting reprofiled due to the amount of track and structured being removed (some parts are down to ONLY supports now.) Who knows about this one. Yeah it would be nice, but unlikely. Maybe it might get a little different banking though :)

4) RWB is getting new trains for next year. This is ALL around the park even some uper levels are mentioning it, this is starting to become a very good chance. But again nothing official yet on any of this...so for now we speculate.

Does anyone know who that guy in the pictures working on the coaster is?

Six Flags, the only chain of parks that can manage to have stacking with a one train operation.

If they replaced the Trains two years ago when they retracked the darn thing, they wouldn't have had to tear that track up again to retrack it.

Trailered trains on curvey coasters: BAD
Articulated trains on curvey coasters: GOOD
