Tidal Wave has begun testing ahead of the 2026 season, with some noticeable updates to the station area. New gates appear to have been installed at both the front and rear of the station, helping to prevent access to the ride area.
Bright red gates can now be seen on either side of the ride trough, adding an extra layer of safety as preparations continue. No reopening date has been confirmed just yet, but it likely won’t be long.
