Yes I'm suppose to go June 30th it better be open by then!!!

Understandable. There's no doubt this is a huge disappointment, especially for those who spent a lot on a pass including all season fast lane to ride this a whoooole bunch. I'm hopeful that those people will still get their day soon, but yeah this is far from ideal and I get what you mean.

I hope it does for sure.

We hope so too We are planning to go to Cedar Point Aug 1

Bro they have been testing since last week

I hope it opens before august to

I hope it opens before august to

Thats interesting. I take your point in that if it goes that long, chances are the problem is pretty deep and may take longer, but I do still think even if they blow july 4th, they'll TRY everything to get it up and running again.

I tend to agree with you, no matter how much positive speculation by park goers, media etc. I feel it is not a quick fix.

I don't think they would pull the plug after July 4th. Heck Six Flags St Louis opened Rookie Racer at the end of September. I'm sure even if it takes until around Halloweekends, they'll open it when they can.

Idk about all that

You're full of it dude. Everyone knows it's the left hand thread torsion knuckle lock nut baffle. It's located under the bilateral cross section of the anterior wheel bogie counter sink bore. Quandale Dingle's nephew works at a greenhouse part time on the weekends and saw it on Reddit. Do your research😎

BOOOM WITH THE INSIDE INFO

Thank you for the kind words!

Well thank you, and you have a nice day also!

At least as of right now I think you'll get to ride it. I'll be really surprised if we get that far before A.) The ride opens, and B.) CP says something about whats going on.

An extremely likely and reasonable theory! 😂

Who should they have gone with?

Interesting! Where did you hear that?

That is interesting! Where'd you hear that?

Sure Jan.

​@@c-tha-man9463lol Marcia Marcia marcia!!!

Those that know don’t speak and those that speak don’t know

@willwill1289-- see my comment/reply to @essaym7509 & @kicoasterguy 5/27

I agree with you they will ABSOLUTELY be doing everything they can to get this thing open ASAP. Cost isn’t the limiting factor here, some things just take as long as they take.

I feel pretty optimistic for you honestly but time will tell.

I can't tell if this is a joke or not lol. It's the home depot bag that has me cracking up.

@@KICoasterGuyno i swear to god

Same with me

I thought it was a dollar general bag.

​@@billchief397 The Home Depot bag comment was funny and then read your comment - LMAO

Totally understand. Yeah if they can get it up by coastermania that would be ideal.

No chance that's happening

@@alecscheerer2329 they put out an interview today saying it very well could

VERY true. Running into problems with the inspection is absolutely a possible roadblock. They do have a third party inspection partner, so hopefully they'd know whether or not it would pass before calling in the Department of Agriculture (I know) to reinspect the ride. But yeah, this could take a while. Lots of pitfalls they could get stuck in.

Oh I'm not impatient, just curious and really interested to know what's going on lol. Whenever rides like this have problems, I always find it really fascinating personally watching what happens and seeing how they solve the problems.

That's a great time to go to CP.

I hope you have a great time regardless

I like your chances

I think you have a good shot.

I would certainly hope the work would be complete by then but there hasn’t been an update from the park.

Hate to tell you, but no chance it'll be open that soon

I can see it happening.

June 26th seems possible right? I don't know how likely it is but it doesn't seem crazy.

Damn. I was there this morning and a bunch of rides were closed due to the wind. Hope tomorrow goes better for you.

Oh snap

You could still have lots of fun at the park regardless, but I understand where you are coming from on that. It is disappointing. That being said, just because alot of us are predicting it opening later doesn't mean it actually will. Fingers crossed for you!

The ride experience is great. They just have to do some problem solving and it should all be succesful.

Ok...but that's their fault for taking the cheap route. Cedar Point got exactly what they paid for; cheap. They should have paid up and went with Intamin who are a proven manufacturer

Yeah that's such a good question and I wondered the same thing. Yes, they did VERY extensive testing. The only reasonable answer I've come upon is that they didn't just suddenly break, but after all the hundreds or thousands of cycles they started noticing premature wear that they realized WOULD cause problems if ignored.

the "playtesting" audience increased and that brought more perspectives? The shaking comments started to increase from those that noticed?

@@KICoasterGuy & Also, Essaym7509, all their testing was done with even weighted water dummies EVENLY placed throughout the train; when opened to public, the differing weights of all the persons were RANDOMLY placed throughout the train!!! This might have caused , whatever the problem is , to develop more quickly. ? When I rode on its last Monday,--the Silver center rear (#6) seat,--it was quite shaky/rough; then rides later rode same #6 in the black train, it was QUITE SMOOTH!!! TTD/2Ron4695/46 of them are tt2's Of course I then let tt2 supervisor &the 2 Zamerla persons know this, to have maintenance take a detailed look at it!

Oof that would be rough but it's a possibility.

I mean, yes, BUT let's not forget that this happens even to the best of them. I also remember Millie, and I-305 melting their road wheels, and needing new compounds. The wheel compound thing happens. If it were something structurally with the trains, I would be worried/gloating. But every manufacturer has gotten wheel compounds wrong initially.

​@Spike-sk7ql Different time period. Before Millenium Force, we've never seen anything like that. Now, we've seen multiple coasters at or around that speed. Cedar Point took the cheap route and got what they paid for. They should have went with Intamin who are a proven manufacturer

I agree. They should have paid up and went with Intamin in the first place

Correct.

😢Best of luck to you my friend.

It won't. That's only a few short days away

I saw that today! Was good to hear

Interesting. I wouldn't be surprised if it takes until August, but I'm curious why you say it's most likely. I can definitely see it opening in July. Like I've said countless times though, time will tell, and I don't think your prediction is at all unreasonable.

Well no because these trains are designed differently. But the problem turns out to have been the actual wheel carriers. They apparently were showing signs of premature wear and had to be redesigned. New carriers have been installed on the trains now, and they’re currently testing again.

Daamn I'm sorry. I can tell you that at least the way it was when it opened, the coaster is super fun so along with the rest of the experiences you'll have there, I think you'll find the trip worth it when you do come.

@@KICoasterGuythanks man. I’m looking at the last week of august vs August 11-18. That has longer operation hours but I’ve been told late august is basically walk ons. Do you have any experience there? I really would like to come when it stays open until 10 but if it’s packed on Aug 14-16 then your time is wasted anyway. I just wonder how big a difference it is Thanks I’d appreciate your opinion

I’m pulling for ya! I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s open by then but who knows. I agree though, every day this thing is down looks worse for CP and Zamperla.

@@KICoasterGuy We can only hope brotha🙏 I’ve never been to CP though so even if it’s not open I’m still looking forward to steve and maverick the most. And if your other commenter is correct about a 94 mph launch, maybe we can get the better rollback that we’ve wanted hahaha, although I doubt it

I don't see CP ever tearing this ride down bc of how iconic it is to the park and it would be difficult to remove it with it being in the middle of the park. Plus, to the GP basically anything that goes in its place would be considered a "downgrade"

@@bigblueamusementproductions Parks like to do things that guests hate to hear about you know.

Oof I hope not.

@@KICoasterGuy same but I’m fearing the worst

I wouldn't be surprised

reasonable.

God that sucks so much lol. Honestly the ride is genuinely good. This whole thing could have gone so much differently if this closure hadn't happened.

@@KICoasterGuy for real, I for sure wasn’t expecting the ride to be closed for pretty much half the season with the way things are going.

there's still a bunch of other fun coasters and flat rides in the park. this isn't the only ride

@@travelcaribbean2009 We’ll see. Only Zamp and CF truly know about how long this will take.

@@dindog22 I never said it was. It’s just, if I wanted to get tickets to go this year, it would’ve been mainly for one ride though, TT2.

Nah my guy you got it all wrong 😂

First of all, Happy (early) Birthday! And yes, I completely agree with you, I have no idea why this falls under the jurisdiction of the agri department other than it had to be assigned to someone, and somehow it ended up being assigned to them. We aren't the only state to do it that way believe it or not, but it really does seem ridiculous.

Exactly what I said in the video! I agree.

What workers exactly? Standard employees like ride ops/food servers/merch associates don't know anything and those who are told must sign an NDA and would get fired if they leak anything.

@@bigblueamusementproductions can’t say for the safety of the worker

@@bigblueamusementproductions the workers aren’t told anything but gossip goes around from worker to worker at cp

Not looking likely at the moment. Sorry friend!

Interesting. Why that long?

Because life is strange

Think it will be that long?

Thanks for responding. Don’t mean to upset anyone with my comments. I feel it could be that long. Hopefully I am very wrong

@@drewcorry5056 nah you’re not upsetting anyone. For all we know it’s possible, but yeah I really hope not.

Cedar fair has pretty much given up on Intamin because of many failed attractions and refuses to buy from them now

Mother Intamin, full of grace...

👑

Ah yeah because Intamin has been oh so reliable in the past….

​@@user-oc4hm3jz9tWhat are you, stuck in the 2000s still? Intamin's recent projects the past 10 plus years have been both reliable and high quality.

I am god

😂 Bold prediction I like it!

Zero chance

@@alecscheerer2329 incorrect

@@alecscheerer2329 why

In time it could, but I really hope not. TT2 as a ride is very good. If they can get it open and KEEP it open, I think this is a massive win, but of course, time will tell.

No but it's not uncommon in this space to design something and then discover that it's not working as expected. At the moment, they've been able to get new wheel carriers on the ride, and have been seen testing at night multiple times. Hopefully we'll hear something soon.

I'm pretty convinced (for now) that it will still open this year. On the other hand, I wouldn't bet my house on it lol.

Have you ridden it? I can tell you it's actually really good as a ride. It all comes down to whether or not they can make it reliable. If they can? Huge win. If they can't? Well, massive L.
