i heard they were doing more work on minebuster. 
 

With all of the snow we got this winter, i hope it is up and running by august.  Last years repairs were worth the wait. 

The parts they did last year were great... Then the second half of the ride tried to kill me.

Agreed, first half retrack = awesome, then chiropratic help is needed after that god awful and just painful tunnel helix final thing.

Y'all are soft.  Soft!  Minebuster is an airtime speed machine on both halves.  The helix is the best part, just like The Beast.  It might be a little rough and tumble but it's a wood coaster, they're supposed to be.

Christ, you young'ns would have died in the 90s...

Your delusional. I guess you could call it an airtime speed machine if you had just rode Flight deck then Time Warp then Sky rider in comparison. I'm 60 so not young'n. The beast cannot EVER be compared to this mess, ever. It is also the not best helix I currently know and never will be. Maybe a helix retrack will help, but not enough to ever make it a airtime speed machine. Delusional.

I loved the Minebuster last summer, the helix was just the right amount of rough to make it interesting! Now Wildebeest, or whatever they call it, damn near killed me. That's the one in desperate need of retracking.

I had actually just come from two days at Cedar Point. Minebuster was the second coaster I rode after Leviathan.  It kicks ass, you're wrong, ride it in the back row and stop being a wuss.

I have always liked Minebuster since riding it when it was new. 
 

The last while it was in the category of rides i don't go on every visit. 
 

The improvements they made last year were amazing and the back half was passable but it stuck out compared with the new first half. It also got a lot busier than it had been before.
 

If they are going to do more work on it, i will say thank you. If they can even get close to what they did last year it will be a really great coaster. 
 

Wonderland has got much busier and making Minebuster a solid coaster again will help give some of those people a nice line to stand in.
