johnjniehaus Posted April 25, 2023 Posted April 25, 2023 So most people likely know by now that Iron Dragon had some track removed during the off season at Cedar Point. I heard from someone that the track has been reinstalled and I decided to reach out to Cedar Point about the coaster and received the email pictured here. From the sound of the email, it should be operational for Opening Day. If anyone else has any more information concerning Iron Dragon, I and possibly others would be interested. Quote
Browntggrr Posted April 25, 2023 Posted April 25, 2023 It was announced at Winter Chill Out that the plan was to have ID operating for opening day. 1 Quote
robintodd Posted April 25, 2023 Posted April 25, 2023 Last picture of ID showed the track back in place and a car on the transfer track. Quote
BeeastFarmer Posted April 25, 2023 Posted April 25, 2023 Didn't Kings Island say they planned for all coasters to be open except advexp on opening day this year? 1 Quote

Yes exactly my thoughts! I personally won't be at CP on opening day but I'll be there that following week weather permitting. Quote

That's what was anticipated. Rides, however, are machines and because they're machines, throughout the industry they're all day-to-day. 1 hour ago, BeeastFarmer said: Didn't Kings Island say they planned for all coasters to be open except advexp on opening day this year? 7 Quote
johnjniehaus Posted April 30, 2023 Author Posted April 30, 2023 So.... sounds like it's not going to be opening day after all. 2 Quote
johnjniehaus Posted May 12, 2023 Author Posted May 12, 2023 I was at CP yesterday (May 11) and Iron Dragon was not operating. They did have trains on the lift and in the station house. Hopefully they get it up and running soon! 2 Quote
Browntggrr Posted May 12, 2023 Posted May 12, 2023 ^ Likely waiting on ODoA approval. I imagine it's a crazy busy time for that office. 3 Quote
Rivertown Rider Posted May 12, 2023 Posted May 12, 2023 I'm at CP today and it is closed. It is running with empty trains though so it looks they are doing their testing. 2 Quote

Rivertown Rider Posted May 13, 2023 Posted May 13, 2023 ^ Relatively moderate crowds. Longest I waited was probably 40 minutes for Millennium and Valravn. I was able to do Wild Mouse during ERT and was on the first train of Maverick and hit Steel Vengeance shortly after it opened. 2 Quote
silver2005 Posted May 15, 2023 Posted May 15, 2023 I've seen reports that Iron Dragon opened today. 3 Quote

silver2005 Posted May 15, 2023 Posted May 15, 2023 ^That and on the video I posted in the TTD thread it's shown running. Quote
