robbalvey Posted September 1, 2015 Author Posted September 1, 2015 I'll eat my foot if they changed the name. Sort of hoping the name changes now just so we can get video of this... *Instantly regrets making promise about devouring one's own foot* I hope my big toe tastes like a McNugget when deep fried... Deep fried? We're just gonna rip that sucker right off and you'll eat it RAW!

RAW... RAW... RAW... RAW... RAW!!
MagnumFreak25 Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Going back to the arrow upstop pad discussion, I always assumed they were there to act as a kinda failsafe trim. During negative G's the pads would come in contact with the track slowing it down through friction. The higher the G's the higher the force applied. That way, if the G's were getting to high the train would be slowed down automatically. I could be wrong but I get the feeling that's why the second airtime hill was shaped so differently than the first. At opening, pre trim, that hills gave sustained negative g's, and would therefore slow the train down to a safe speed to travel through the pretzel. Then the next two would slow it down even further before the coat hanger hills start. After the upstop wheels were added the trim was needed to bring the train back down to that same speed. But it had to slow down more there because the next two hills would no longer slow it down either. Thus creating that over banking in the turnaround. I could be way off on all that but it makes sense to me.

coasterfreak101 Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 ^Here's the name: "Sushi Foot"! So that's what a Lagoon Roll is...
Garet Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 ^Here's the name: "Sushi Foot"! So that's what a Lagoon Roll is... He's going to have to eat his foot while riding Cannibal.
TB305 Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 ^Here's the name: "Sushi Foot"! So that's what a Lagoon Roll is... He's going to have to eat his foot while riding Cannibal. Would not be opposed if I get to ride Cannibal
coasterbill Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Gatekeeper is down and has a lift of some kind working on it. Live Cam 2 Any word on what's wrong? That seems kind of odd.
Coaster19 Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 *just saw that. A crane has been brought in. They are working on the top of the lift.
coasterbill Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 If that's the case then this seems exactly like the lift chain issue it had right around the same time last year.
DJeXeL Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Cam has been moved so you can't see work happening on lift. You can see the boom of the crane but that's it. Hope it's nothing serious.
Coaster19 Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 That will suck. I hope it is not the lift chain issue again. Also side note, it is crowded today. 45 min wait on Millie, about 45 on Maverick. Here some construction photos:
ImNotOneOfYou Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 45 minutes to Maverick is crowded? I waited 2 1/2 hours for Maverick and the rest of the park didn't seem very crowded.
Coaster19 Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 45 minutes to Maverick is crowded? I waited 2 1/2 hours for Maverick and the rest of the park didn't seem very crowded. Hahaha for me, this is more then I was thinking for today. And yes I won't wait 45 for Maverick.

Hahaha for me, this is more then I was thinking for today. And yes I won't wait 45 for Maverick. But Maverick is gods gift to the earth. Its the greatest coaster ever made!!!!

I love that ride now with the new restraints. I just don't want to wait more then 15 mins on coasters! I am very inpatient anymore, especially since I am a single rider and waiting in lines can get extremely boring.
coasterbill Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 If it's not a lift chain, what could it be? The lift motor is at the bottom of the lift... I would almost guarantee it's the chain (though I'm no expert). Last time they had it fixed in about 3 days. I'm sure they'll bust it to get it open for Labor Day weekend.

I apparently always visit on the worst days because I have NEVER seen a wait less than an hour for Maverick in the past 4 years.

It could also be a component on the chain housing or chain-trough nylon lining. I've personally seen those become an issue before when the chain starts making hard contact with it.
CP Maverick Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 So, did anyone else notice that they moved all the cameras yesterday, within an hour of parking a trailer in the GTT construction site?
blakelemay23 Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Hearing trucks are moving into the construction zone w/ "people walking around" If anyone can take pics to confirm please do.
Hoppy Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 ^ You will see trucks coming and going into the construction zone here on Cam 1... http://pixelcaster.com/live/cedarpoint/ If only the cam was tilted down a bit more you could see the entire area...
blakelemay23 Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Wow that area is way bigger than i thought.
