The lift motor burned out. No, I don't know why its stuck but who cares right now really. It only been running for two weeks so I am sure there are kinks in the ride.

Heck I dont know probaly a plane ride to flordia. It was like 2 hours and 15 minutes.

I thought I remember reading someone that Don said there would a POV shortly after the ride had been testing.

On the 7 trips to CP last year, I only recall seeing one county sheriff on Route 6 and he was going west. I blew past him at 80 mph and he kept on going his own way. That road is pretty much deserted.. I think it's safe to say you can put the pedal to the metal. But I highly suggest stopping in Findlay to use the restroom and get food if you need it, no matter if you need to or not. The next station, save for lonely and somewhat shady truck stops, is about 30 miles west of Sandusky. I made the mistake of not stopping in Findlay to use the restroom.. miles and miles later on Route 6 I was dancing in my seat, highly considering just jumping out and using the ditch. I hit 100 MPH on that road in my own car. I tried to do it in my new one but it would only go about 90mph

I always take route 6 to get to Cedar Point. My first trip to the point mapquest told me to go into bowling green. I was like WTF. I figured it out after about 10 minutes or so of looking at the map.

I amke it to Cedar Point & KI every year. This topic brings up a good little off season question. Would rather live 15 minutes from one park and 2-3 hours from 2-3 different parks?

Im going to shoot for 2 a week but I know I will make it at least once a week. last year I had about 20 which is lacking for me due to gas prices and driving a SUV. My record visits was 36.

That is a nice video showing that. I like the area of the DB splash down more.

I would have liked to see that thing run with snow in the spash down. I wonder what the splash down would have looked like then.

That video is sweet. Too bad the spash down is empty.

What if they did sell of Great America do you think KI would be worthy of getting that B&M inverted coaster they have over there. KD, CP, Knotts, WL, all have full circuit inverted coasters. I think KI might be the only one without one which is why it would make a great fit for Kings Island back by x-base some where or jam it back were the go karts are. I am not sure of the layout so I don't know if it would even fit there. I can see it happening though if CF were to sell that park off.

Hey just for our view pleasure I would like to suggest to put the image links inside the IMG tag.

Wow that is so sweet. I almost cried when I saw that picture.

Hey look!!! The ducks are all ready making a come back!!!!!!!

^ Really? In the past I always see Maverick is the 1st one to close next to Dragster and Magnum. The Gemeni closes in a mist. A mist really? Come on!

Well, alot of Cedar Fair rides close in the rain. Maverick, Magnum XL-200, Firehawk to just name a few. But since this ride has a spash down which I am sure will get the track wet and the in turn get the under carragie of the ride wet if it would stay open in light rain. I doubt the spash down pond will overflwo in a normal rain as there are lots of drainage areas to prevent that.

Enought of the testing pictures of the train sitting on the lift. Hosenstly how many more do we need? I want to see a picture of the splash down! Beings that there is a spash down on the ride I wonder if it will close in the rain?

Yea spraying fish from the spash down would be funny. I am not sure a dye would be nice and really finsh the area off. Maybe a very light blue or greenish. I would like to see them paint it or put in a colored liner. How about a mossic of a Diamondback head like the dollywood butterflies!

Wouldn't a sewer drain fix that probelm?

While I don't know if he lives close to the park or not that is a webcam the park has posted for our viewing pleasure.

It looks like its bigger than a water hose and from the screen shot it looks like Diamondback has splashed down!!

Proper grammer please or at least try. No, I am sure they won't make you put a bathing suit on.

I just hope they are able to keep the splash down area clean.

I guess they wont be painting the spash down. O well.

Firehawk looks fine. There are a few other rides however that I think need to be painted first.
