Cortney Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 My great-aunt was telling me that either Kings Island or Cedar Point one of the "big" attractions at the park is closed this summer? I think she said it was Cedar Point; but not sure. Its a roller coaster, thats all I know. Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 So far as I know all the Kings Island coasters are rollin' this year (but I didn't ride FOF this year, so I don't know about that one). (There's one big attraction that isn't open, but that one's under construction )... Quote
MarketingExpress Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 ^FOF was open on April 19th when I was there, and I have seen a few trip reports of others that have ridden it. Quote
flightoffear4thtrain Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 I can personally confirm that FOF is indeed running, in fact it is running very well Quote
cholderfield Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 My great-aunt was telling me that either Kings Island or Cedar Point one of the "big" attractions at the park is closed this summer? I think she said it was Cedar Point; but not sure. Its a roller coaster, thats all I know. The only ride I can think of that is closed at Cedar Point (not a roller coaster, though) is MaxAir, which is similar to Kings Island's Delirium...at Kings Island, the only ride that is down (again, not a roller coaster) occasionally is The Crypt, but I guess it's gotten more reliable over the past couple of weeks...

KIBeast Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 The coaster that is down IS at Cedar Point...and it's the Wildcat. Here's a thread where it's being discussed. Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 THe person said major ride which I would consider Wild Cat one. MaXAir at CP is closed. I think they are waiting for a part from Germany to be manufactored and shipped. If I am correct its the same one that Delirium needed a few summers ago. Quote

They are the same just height are different between maXair and Delirium. Quote

They are the same just height are different between maXair and Delirium. Which is why I said they are "similar"... ... I wouldn't really consider Wildcat a major ride (I had actually forgot about it being closed) - its a fun ride, but when I enter CP I don't think "Hey let's go hit wildcat first!".... regarding Maxair....it's kinda ridiculous it's down considering this happened halfway through the 2007 season...hopefully it will be up again soon!

flightoffear1996 Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 ^ I think they have to manufacter the part. Quote

I think she said it was Cedar Point; but not sure. Its a roller coaster, thats all I know. She is probably thinking about Twisted Twins at Kentucky Kingdom, which is not operating this year and is no longer on their website as a ride. Quote

They are the same just height are different between maXair and Delirium. Incorect, maXair seats more and is considered the "largest" of its kind. Quote
BavarianBeatle Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 Could your great aunt have missed the story about SOB reopening last year? Quote
Guest TombraiderTy Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 ^I've seen a few people from my school become surprised when they learn SoB is reopen But people get facts mixed up all the time. Like it's common to hear a park guests point to Drop Tower and say to their friend: "There's no way I'm riding that, a girl got her feet cut off on that last summer!" Quote
Delirium33 Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 Funny that it was mentioned that Flight of Fear and Crypt have been more consistent lately- They were both closed today. Also, for some reason, the park never opened Boomerang Bay today... And the park had a decent crowd... most lines were about 15-30 minutes. Quote

flightoffear1996 Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Since when? I got back from the park last week and it was closed with no one working on it. Quote
