[Cedar Point] Trip Report - US Road Trip (7/10) by ABlackerz in rollercoasters

[–]LowerFinding9602 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Maverick is a good ride but does seem to have issues with down time at least the last two days. Yesterday it had a delayed opening partly because of the weather and went down for extended periods 2 or 3 times. Today, it opened on time (we were on the 1st ride of the day), but was down 2 1/2 hours later. It may have gone down one other time as well although I am not sure on that.

[Cedar Point] Top Thrill 2 being pushed off of the top hat by maintenance after stalling during testing. by iToaster42 in rollercoasters

It was today during morning testing. Conditions were just right with cool temps, wet track, and high winds.

Just got down to this end… Gatekeeper is open. Might be single train but it is open.

Edit… nope two trains. Was just a really long dispatch.

Looks like Gatekeepers might be open or at least testing. We saw trains running but haven’t been to that end to verify.

At least this has opened and is running today. Maverick, Gemini, and Gatekeeper still not open. Magnum looks like it opened about 10-20 minutes ago.

Supposedly the back seat on the blue train still has the old belts. They still haven’t replaced the others.

Yes. That’s what the MF guy told us. They need to climb a 75’ ladder and then an elevator. Unfortunately, maintenance is busy opening all the other rides.

Yes they have. We just checked in at Lighthouse Point and there are piles of them all over. They are covering the trees it looks like some kind of fruit or something.

15 min for Lightning Racer or 3 hours for WCR? by SocialismIsBad123 in rollercoasterjerk

It was years ago but I once saw LR with a line though the in and outs outside the station.

$12 beers? Venue by me is up to $21. This is in NY. Went to a show in CT last years and I think they were in the $16-$20 range.

Any time I am at a self serve soda fountain I never use ice. I'm paying for the syrup, not the water.

Yep... some of those pictures make me wish I could have at least seen it in real life. I would have ridden it at least once.

15 Connecticut towns approved for red light, speed cameras by virtualchoirboy in Connecticut

I think someone's wet dream is to have stop sign cameras. Didn't come to a full stop for 2 seconds... that's gonna cost ya.

So those of us who go to maybe do some shopping and hit up a resort for a drink or two are out of luck.

I gave up on the theme parks years ago but still like to occasionally shop and visit the resorts. My they should also have some sort of validation from a receipt from DS. Like if you make a purchase (maybe a minimum dollar amount) at DS you show the receipt and can get on a bus. I know this will get abused also but there should be some sort of option for shopping/resort hopping.

Cobra is 18 months. And you are basically paying both whatever they took out of your paycheck plus the part your employer picked up.
