IndyGuy4KI Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Both trains were running last weekend. Anyone know if it was removed earlier this week? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disco2000 Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Both trains only ran last Friday. On Saturday it went to one train, and Sunday the ride was closed with the temp gates blocking the entrance/exit way and did not open again until yesterday afternoon with one train... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdf21972 Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 What has happens to ET ? Last weekend I understand with high winds but 5 -10 mph winds and beautiful weather and closed. Was closed on Thursday also.

But hey at least it isn't as bad as Kings Dominion's Eiffel Tower! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombRaiderFTW Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Zamperla offered CF a multi-Intamin refurbishment package. Next year KI will open 2 Eiffel 2 Tower. When ascending, the elevators will use multiple launches a la Power Tower, except using LSMs, and it'll stop at the top, not the bottom. When descending, the elevator will perform a randomized program of ascents and drops like Tower of Terror. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 You know, with CF working with Vekoma again, Vekoma did create trains for an Arrow suspended coaster in England- Vampire at Chessington World of Adventures. Maybe they could do it for Bat to give it some more life if it comes to that? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said the exact same thing in another post on here in regards to our old pal The Bat lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnjniehaus Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 I personally am a huge fan of the gondola style trains and hope they never switch them out for anything else 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And have preciously shared this sentiment as well. But if the trains were to no longer be serviceable I would rather them put the Vekoma floorless styled trains on it rather than them tear it down all together. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that through the years Cedar Fair can keep at least one of their 2 arrow suspended coasters running for the next generations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bat, Iron Dragon, Vortex 4 if you count Ninja after the merger goes through. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Cedar Fair has 3 and once the merger goes through it'll be 4. I love The Bat but I also remember really loving the ninja at SFMM. The lift hill ending isn't great but I remember getting some incredible swinging action in the back row. Also a genuinely fun layout down the side of the hill, through the trees, and over the flume ride/pond area. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterJack Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Still two train operations today, after 7 consecutive rides plus a few more sprinkled in, can say the squeaky swinging motion and loose seat are gone. Even got three zen rides, lol 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to going back and getting a few laps in myself this season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
