coasterbill Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Cedar Point had issues with Gatekeeper’s chain a couple times, as well as dragster’s launch cable. Any park can have a lift chain issue on any ride, the thing that sets parks apart is how quickly they fix those issues. In the cases you mentioned, Cedar Point re-opened the ride in less than 3 days. Iron Dragon had a lift chain break last season and it was fixed in less than a week. Let's see how this goes (I think we all have a pretty good idea, lol). Sometimes I click on this thread and immediately regret it. Today there are cat pictures. Thank you. You're welcome, this thread is the absolute worst.

jconsolmagno Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 The park was hard at work on the Boomerang this morning. I took a few pictures, can attach later. Had the sidewalk blocked off and multiple cranes with 10+ workers.. Worked stopped around noon as the park started to get busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjr19 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I'm considering going to DL on either Thursday or Friday, does anybody know if Boomerang should be open again by then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ride of steel Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Wow they're really trying over there, I'll see if its open today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ride of steel Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 First things first Boomerang was closed with no crews working on it. RoS was like the last ride and might I add that the 2nd row is INSANE, I got airtime on the helix entrance for gosh sake. But the real show stopper was Predators missing supports with empty footers. TR as closed with a few logs trapped and drained all around. Why though? And what are these This was delivering a brutal mix of headbanging and speed , and I greyed out during the Batwing.

rjr19 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I just got back from a short trip to DL. Boomerang still has its chain hanging from the track, with no work crews in sight. It's appearing as if it won't open for the rest of the season. As said previously, TR was drained with logs stuck on the lift. Mind Eraser's shakiness seems to have gotten much worse to the point where it was almost unbearable. One nice thing to see was Twister's fountain back up and running, which hasn't happened in a few years now! Also, Silver Bullet was back open today, and it was delivering quite the lengthy cycle! The only thing worrying me about SB is that the motor sounds much louder and rougher, and instead of it slowing down at the end of the ride, it just shuts completely off. Haymaker was also down all day. Silver Bullet update... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haymaker Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 With the daily season over at 5 on Tuesday, its probably safe to say Boomerang and TR are done for this year. Maybe Boomerang gets fixed for Harvest Fest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ride of steel Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I think darien did ok this year, but even fantasy island scored higher on my personal ratings than darien. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajfelice Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 But the real show stopper was Predators missing supports with empty footers. The ride has been slightly modified/re-profiled over the years. The empty footers are leftovers from original bent locations. Nothing preposterous to see here.

Johnlloyd Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Contrary to the held belief, Boomerang is actually operating again!

ride of steel Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I took some pictures, then messed with them and I think darien needs to make a shirt out of these. I like the colours on this one. This one looks like an old promo. This one is my favorite! This one I don't really like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SbSteveZ Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 ^ Nice edits! Im a big fan of artsy fartsy Darien Lake pictures. The park for the most part is really beautiful (of course I’m probably just being bias but Viper to me is one of the most beautiful rides out there).
