The Angry Darren Mullins Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 I think they will replace the bumper cars very soon or maybe use that area for something bigger. The whole area could open up a lot of space for them. The biggest loss would be the maintenance building as, if I remember right, it is right beside the bumper cars and was the main maintenance area for the park. If the equipment there was damaged, this could be a liability to the park for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calico Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Can’t help because most of the things are electronic ones so they will definitely get affected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
