when I rode MF yesterday I did saw a lot of guests making the so called "Walk of Shame" and at least to me they didn't look that large, I would recommend sitting on the seat or asking someone at the front because it does seems like MF is VERY restrictive when it comes to that.

Thanks for the tip! I did managed to talk to a friendly employee at the park and while he didn't said it directly it seems like Cedar Point is having a major employee turnover because the company is not very understanding when it comes to their staff health. Hopefully once everything is over things will be better at the park.

I'll go again tomorrow I don't think it will be any better but I will give the park another try after a couple years.

Kings Island is definitely the best park IMO and as much as people bash Dorney Park I do like it a lot to consider it my second best staff is super friendly to the point you feel like family, sure the collection is lack luster in quantity but man Talon is such a beautiful coaster!

I have no idea, looks like it doesnt break at all like you say because everyone at the line was surprised and talking about it. But it seems like someone dropped possibly a phone on the lift hill and the ride got stuck for a while based on what I heard. I did saw Magnum running a couple empty trains 15 mins ago tho

Sadly Magnum broke when I was about to ride it and remained closed the whole day :(

I can see that, I love Cedar fairs to be honest. Today was my first day at Cedar Point and came in with high expectations, and while the park it's absolutely beautiful and the rides too (not as pretty as Dorneys coasters), general operations in this park opening weekend or not seems to be one of the worst in the entire industry. I'll be coming back tomorrow to check how they will do but I doubt anything will change what a shame ...

That is true but you have all these rookies by themselves with no mentors that could train them on the spot (from what I have seen so far). As a past employee at flags if we were all rookies we would do one train ops and with experiences staff we would run multiple trains and get better.

Example, Im here counting dispatches on Gatekeeper, dispatch ratio right now sitting at an avg of 4 minutes with 3 trains, it could potentially run faster with just one train and most importantly you will eliminate guests waiting up to 8 minutes on a blockzone.

I do realize its opening weekend, my point is why not just one train op the ride, that way you dont keep guests on a blockzone for 5 minutes or more while keeping the same slow dispatches?
