Did anyone go to the park sponsored event last Saturday 9/4? It used to be "Riding of the Bull" the Saturday after Labor Day sponsored by a local coaster group. Without El Toro out, it had to change. I normally go to this event, but Labor Day weekend, really?? It didn't seem very organized, and not worth my cross country trip. Just curious. ...

^ Sorry should've said AT TTD.

Amazing no new on the health status of this lady that was injured on TTD. The only thing was she got moved to another facility from Firelands hosp. Normally something would've leaked by now. I hope she's okay.

^^^ I have the same thing with my Cedar Point Platinum pass. I bought it earlier this week. I'm sure a glitch.

Inside rumor - Flash. They will then convert the existing Flash ride back to Atom Smasher.

Unfortunately that CEO is gone. I too loved those videos.

^ Wrong thread. This is the New Jersey park Great Adventure not Great America. Sorry.

^ Kings Island did it a few days ago. We'll see, but I hope I'm right.

Any news / rumors about a flash sale coming to C.P. ? I'm looking for that "special bonus" to make it worth my while. Maybe on Monday - National Rollercoaster Day.

^ I don't think its run much if at all this season.

The thing I don't like about the Jersey Devil is the seat configuration. You're sitting with your legs spread, almost like straddling a car transmission hump (for those old enough to remember). It also reminds me getting a colonoscopy! Also the engineering is poor with the restraints. I like that the entire restraint pulls over your head as one, but if you do it too soon the platform rideop needs to release it with a tool. Just lock it up until it's ready to come down or program the computer to not sample it's position until later. Maybe this has been fixed, since I've not read anyone complaining about it. I hope so. The layout is great compared to Wonder Woman at 6 Flags Fiesta.

I was at the park yesterday and today. I was told by one of the Beast (relocated to Mystic Timbers) rideops that Thursday the general public was complaining about the roughness of the Beast, so they shut it down 2 hours early and relocated the rideops to other rides. Today I was there until 2, and it never opened. There wasn't anyone on the platform either. Maybe the guys were working on the track which you really can't see, even from Windbreaker.

^ You're going to love that book. I really don't think a 17 year old wrote that.

The two days following Coasterstock, I was on both Windseeker & Diamondback during the fireworks. It was fantastic. Just lucked out. Sorry I missed you guys at the event. Soooo much better than Coastermania at that place up north.

^ I see Gatekeeper running on their webcam. Just empty trains??? I'm heading there for the weekend with my family and I hope it opens.

Sorry I didn't see you guys. I know seems hard to believe.

Hey you guys forgot to report on our new coaster friend - the groundhog, who came out of during the behind the scenes trip of Banshee. He looked like he was related to Don Helbig...

I just saw Gatekeeper cycle on the webcam. It's too far away to see if people are on it. Either way, that's a good sign.

I was at Holiday World yesterday. Legend was closed with no activity anywhere around it. It's been 2008 since I've been there and can't remember if I liked Raven or Legend more. I guess I won't know. I posted this as a "heads up" for those visiting. As of yesterday only 2 of their 3 woodies running. I'm definitely not a fan of Voyage, but that's just me.

^ My experience is that will NOT WORK. They have ride ops and security at the entry to those rides. These guys have X-Ray vision and will catch you. No metal detectors, as they don't need it.

^ From your post to the rollercoaster gods ears.

I really appreciate their ride / rain policy. Very different from the "big house" up north - Cedar Point.

The website for Great Adventure has El Toro "temporarily closed" as of this moment.

^ It's the national anthem. Yes, Cedar Point does this. Sea World San Antonio does it too.

Now get the fire turned on again on Apocalypse.
