beastrider97 Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 Do any of the indoor rides close in the rain? I have never been on a rainy day (except opening day 2008) and never rode any indoor rides during that period. Quote
VortexPKIFreak Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 I don't believe so. It was rainy one day I went during Fear Fest and Flight of Fear was up and running Quote

I have never been on a rainy day (except opening day 2008) and never rode any indoor rides during that period. i don't know about Kings Island but at Cedar Point they close disaster trasport when it rains(and it seems to take the longest to start back up.)

The Interpreter Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 That's because the building that houses Disaster Transport has (or at least had) a very leaky roof.... Quote

I have never been on a rainy day (except opening day 2008) and never rode any indoor rides during that period. I've been down at Disney World when they close all rides if there is a Thunderstorm. Apparently they don't want anyone standing in line and get struck by lightning. Same for Coney, except there are no indoor rides. pilotank Quote
Cortney Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 I have been at Carowinds, Kings Island and Cedar Point when has has rained at each park.... Kings Island- the only thing open was Flight of Fear and we rode that over and over....I was in HS....probably back toward when it first open..it was pouring down rain and my school group wound up leaving early because of it. Cedar Point- raining....Magnum was closed everytime we went to get on it and so we rode Raptor and some other stuff that was under something Carowinds - ON A RIDE WHEN IT STARTED THUNDERING AND LIGHTNING! Was not scared at all, but we left after it started, we had been there long enough...sorry no help Quote
CoastersRZ Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Actually, at Coney if there is lightning and Thunder in the area, we automatically close all high rides (Wheel, Round Up, Scream Machine, Coaster, Rock O Plane, Super Slide, Pedal Boats and Bumper Boats.) If there is a lot of lightning, or heavy rain in the area, all rides will get shut down. If there is light or steady rain, everything should stay open with the exception of the Wheel and Rock O Plane. Those two rides are driven by cables, and if it is really wet out, the cables will slip in the drive wheel, making it impossible for the ride to properly operate. Quote
Jasper Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Cedar Point has really cut down on Magnums rain poilcy ever since the accident that happened a year or two back. Even in a light sprinkle they close it down. Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Well, actually, as of this year, at Cedar Point they immediately go down to one train until the rain passes....unless it thunders/lightnings...then the ride closes...they do this on ALL the coasters... Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 I just got back from CP and durning the rain it seemed that the wooden rides, corckscrew, mantis, and dragster where closed. There was a few flat rides that were closed. Quote
Jasper Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 I noticed Raptor was not on there. When i went up there a while back Raptor hardly ever shut down on the 2 days it rained. Quote
