firehawkboy Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 AS many of you guys are aware, Cedar Point's opening day was this past weekend and of course I went to it. I left about 5am to head up there. It was a cold, windy day. Brr. And to top it off, it must have been "Intamin's Don't Work Today". Top Thrill kept rolling back all day. Millennium Force kept running empty trains. Wicked Twister wasn't functioning right. The only Intamin running right was Maverick. But anywho, here's a few pics I took that I'd like to show you guys. Power Tower: Space Launch, which is amazing!! Wicked Twister: Very photogenic! Best pic of Wicked that I took. Mantis and Millennium Force. Beautiful Pic, in my opinion. Quote
skaterboy22101 Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Is that all, or are you going to add more? Quote
firehawkboy Posted May 21, 2009 Author Posted May 21, 2009 ^ That's all. I only had my iPhone, and the battery life sucks! Ha. I only took ones needed to be taken basically. Quote
skaterboy22101 Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Oh, ok. Those are some really good pictures, expectaly the last one! Quote
coasterguy15 Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 How was Jr. Gemini running? I ask this because it is an Intamin ride that could have contributed to "Intamin's Don't Work Today" day. Quote
firehawkboy Posted May 21, 2009 Author Posted May 21, 2009 ^ Haha, I was never over in that are actually. But Sunday it was working. Haha. Quote
gigacoaster2k Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Awesome photos.. makes me miss the place already. Hopefully you had a good time even with MF and TTD having issues all day. Did you get any rides on Magnum? It was running trimless all day.. made for some stellar night rides. Quote
IndyGuy4KI Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Nice pics, I have only been to CP once when I was a teenager. I really should get back up there, but I am to cheap to take the trip. Quote
TOPGUN1993 Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 That last picture is great, other than the fact a huge pole is in the way. Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Excellent pictures! I can almost feel the cold, even! Quote
PhantomTheater Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 And to top it off, it must have been "Intamin's Don't Work Today". I'm pretty sure thats everyday. I have never been to the point on a day all Intamins worked properly. Dont forget DISpatch mASTER TRANSPORT is also an intamin. Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Its like that pretty much every singale opening day at Cedar Point Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Quite frankly, opening days can be iffy at many parks... Quote
gigacoaster2k Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 People also do not realize that the weather up by the Great Lakes is harsher than it is down here, especially in the winter months. Cedar Point's coasters cease all operations and take a beating from Lake Erie weather for 6 months while their trains are in storage. Trying to fire those bad boys up on opening day is much like leaving a car outside in the cold for 6 months, and then starting it.. do you really expect it to run like a dream? Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 It's the same story at that park up New Jersey way. Opening days there can be great adventures.... Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Great photos from a iPhone. I got to get one of those. Quote
