Titan Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 I've only been to Cedar Point two times, but both times Maverick was down in the morning and Top Thrill Dragster wasn't even open for my first trip (which was expected). Maverick was down for about 30 minutes, but it was still worth the wait.
Original Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 I have never been to CP when maverick of TTD have been shut down. I go all the time too because I'm only an hour away from CP (Man, that drive is horrible, Im used to driving 4 hours to get to KI, but this drive seems so much longer). Weird :/ 2
Maverick00 Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 I've been pretty lucky. During my last trip to the Point, Millennium was down half the day but that was because of a lightning strike. Besides that, they're almost all always open. I do know one Intamin that's very reliable, Jr. Gemini 2
TheCrypt Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 Sorry if what I said a few posts up was a bit snarky. The general point I was trying to get across was that these rides are typically up, at least from my experiences. Not once have they gone down when I've visited. In fact, now that I reflect upon my visits, even Space Spiral was operating during each trip. Maybe I'm lucky? 3

fanofFirehawk Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 TheCrypt (sorry the quote thing won't work on my iPad ) well the few times I have been (5-6) to Cedar Point, Top Thrill Dragster has been down every time I have been at least once a day if not the whole day. I have also checked the web cams a few times no car being launched at 120 miles per hours. Again as I said I am sue I'm wrong.
Browntggrr Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 I haven't heard much about Ravine Flyer lately, has it become rough too? Not at all.

xXDrummerKiDXx Posted September 26, 2012 Author Posted September 26, 2012 I've never been to CP (It's disappointing) but from what I've read CP seems to have the bigger rides?? Maybe it's time to walk or ride my bike cause driver's license are too mainstream xD
TTD-120-420 Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 Yes they have bigger rides. Much bigger rides. Take a look: http://rcdb.com/4529.htm

PhantomTheater Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 Yes they have bigger rides. Much bigger rides. Take a look: http://rcdb.com/4529.htm But KI has a coaster that is longer than any CP offering.

In fact, now that I reflect upon my visits, even Space Spiral was operating during each trip. Maybe I'm lucky? Nah my last visit only TTD went down and that was during ERT. They had it up and running not long after park opening. In fact TTD is the only ride that I have seen break down at CP. We both are lucky I guess
TTD-120-420 Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 Yes they have bigger rides. Much bigger rides. Take a look: http://rcdb.com/4529.htm But KI has a coaster that is longer than any CP offering. If that's what you're into. 1
HTCO Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 I don't know bout y'all. But when I went to Cedar Point, Millie broke down twice, TTD was down twice, Maverick didn't open on time, and Wicked Twister was down. Thank god I bought Fast Lane that day, otherwise I would be ****ed. Granted I did ride all of them more than once.
flightoffear1996 Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 At my visit last year to the point Top Thrill Dragster broke at least 3 times and Wicked Twister was down for part of the day. The other two were running fine.
stashua123 Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Were sorta and sorta not lucky to have no intamins in the park. or are there?
TTD-120-420 Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Drop Tower, White Water Canyon, Eiffel Tower, and maybe Congo Falls are Intamin. At least I'm pretty sure.
kblanken Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Drop Tower, White Water Canyon, Eiffel Tower, and maybe Congo Falls are Intamin. At least I'm pretty sure. Those four are Intamin rides, and so is Viking Fury.
xXDrummerKiDXx Posted September 27, 2012 Author Posted September 27, 2012 Notice how those rides are RARELY broken down. I've been riding Drop Tower lately (past 3 or 4 years) and I've rarely seen it down. Once or twice. 2
TombRaiderFTW Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 ^ Really? It goes down every time I ride it... 11
TheCrypt Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 ^The HUSS rides that have been bought within the last 10 decades have (had) immense downtime issues. The Troika, however, is a much different story.
fanofFirehawk Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Yes they have bigger rides. Much bigger rides. Take a look: http://rcdb.com/4529.htm But KI has a coaster that is longer than any CP offering. What are you saying, Milleiunuim Force is longer then Diamondback.
Colonel_SoB_fan Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 ^ Really? It goes down every time I ride it... It's when it doesn't go down that people have issues with.
KI FANATIC 37 Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 I think Drop Tower is not down a lot, but a good bit of the time. I definitively would not call it reliable. 2
xXDrummerKiDXx Posted September 27, 2012 Author Posted September 27, 2012 Well it has been faithful to me. One ride that has a lot of downtime (at least when I'm there) is Firehawk. With that being my favorite ride (not including SOB) it's really disappointing. And when it IS open it has a long line. It's always worth my 1 1/2 hour wait. Waits are only fun when you have people with you. I person couldn't wait an hour for s ride by myself. Although I did with SOB.
Jasper Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Huss... Ah good ole Hoose rides, now those are super reliable. In my several trips to Cedar Point I have never seen TTD operate for a whole day, Milly has at least went down once when I was in line for it on my trips, Maverick has went down once or twice in all of my trips to the Point and Wicked Twister has never been down in all my trips there.I would take an Intamin, down time or not, as those are some of the best rides I have ever had the pleasure to ride.
Original Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 I think Drop Tower is not down a lot, but a good bit of the time. I definitively would not call it reliable. I have seen it get stuck alot.
beastrider97 Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Yes they have bigger rides. Much bigger rides.

Unless I'm missing some sarcasm here, you are forgetting a certain wooden coaster that runs rampant through the woods of Kings Island. 1
