Paint Job coming as announced by the park.

Goliath was open yesterday! The only major attraction closed for maintenance was Lex Luthor. Superman was closed because of lite rain early in the day.

@bert425^^^ "I spent an entire day at SFOG wearing a mask. it's NOT that big a deal, folks. either wear a mask if you go those days that require it? or don't go those days." Bert I hear what you're saying. It was your choice to wear the mask. It's not required. I did that (mask wearing) last year. This is just insane now! Nobody but LA county requires this when you're outdoors. Does covid know to stay away Monday -- Thursday??? Just kidding.

Two other bits of bad news, I've learned from an insider. Goliath is closed until the end of October Lex Luthor is closed until the end of November.

Well, I was expecting this from LA. It starts tomorrow 10/7. The selected days are Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays in October. I'm fully vaccinated, but this full time mask requirement is uncalled for! We're going backwards... COVID-19 Protocol Update – Full Vaccination Verification or a NegativeCOVID-19Test (PCR or Antigen) Required on Select Days for All Guests 12+ In accordance with the LA County mandates, effective October 7, guests 12+ will be required to show proof of full vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test (PCR or Antigen) within 72 hours prior to visiting the park on certain designated days, which can be found on the park hours and schedule page. All guests 2+ will also be required to wear a face mask at all times on certain designated days, including while outdoors. Additionally, all visitors 18+ will also be required to show photo identification, effective November 1. On days not affected by the mandate, vaccination or negative test verification will not be required, however, everyone 2+ will be required to wear face masks at all indoor locations regardless of vaccination status. All policies will be adjusted on an as-needed basis to ensure compliance with state and county requirements related to COVID-19.

Both webcams are back up. Tony admitted a "technical issue" after a storm last week.

Cedar Point took down both of the video feeds from the park earlier this week. Not sure what this is all about???

I've heard from an inside source that Lex Luthor is down until December. No further info on this. It was down last weekend too.

^ That's called a fly-by. Very cool and very fast...

According to a friend of mine, Tatsu was open yesterday Saturday. He rode it 4 times. I also read that Superman is only running 1 side (new forward version), as the restraints were taken off the other train.

^^^ I'm not heavy, but I do find the straddle position on the Devil very uncomfortable. The ride is good, but the trains not so much.

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.
