We'll wait and see how and if Starliner and Triple Hurricane fits into their plans. I lack any Legoland parks and Starliner.

Well, thanks to Land South not fixing Starliner properly when they had any issues, it gained a reputation as a maintinance queen. If Merlin was smart, they wouldn't make any decisions on Starliner right away, hire an expert to inspect it and tell them what needs work, and NOT skimp by on the cheapest repairs possible to fix it. Then give it a season or two to determine if its service record is caused by the coaster, or bad maintenance. From what I've heard, Starliner's fate is still uncertain.

It certainly wasn't a maintenance queen back at MSAP. It had a reputation for being quite reliable the 40+ years it operated there.
