CPmaverick Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 If anybody is planning to go to Cedar Point in the next few weeks, don't get your hopes up for Millennium Force to be running. Yesterday the cable apparently snapped. Last time this happened the ride was down for about 2 weeks. There are rumors saying that it was actually a catch car problem, and if that is the case who knows when the ride will reopen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmicha Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Hopefully it is just a cable problem. This shouldn't take them long to replace. If it is a problem with the catch car, that would probably be a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
printersdevil78 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 ^^Why, did they drain the sub lagoon at Disneyland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverickrocks Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 That dosen't look good. Â They changed the ERT scheduled for tonight's ride night to Dragster/ Magnum. Wonder what they're going to do for Coastermania if it's not ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennyweird Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 The catch car is dangling from the lift hill. That's not a good sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeti762 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 That dosen't look good. Wonder what they're going to do for Coastermania if it's not ready. Â CoasterMania is the 1st thing I thought of too, would suck if it wasn't open by then. Â (crossing fingers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE ONE Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 That doesn't look good for Coaster mania, I'm glad I'm not going this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Movieguy Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Wow...I've never seen MF in that state. Â I can't go to CP this year, once again, but it still depresses me to see that MF will be out of commission for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterfan99 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 That does not look good. Looks like a return trip after Coaster Mania for me to get my credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandaman Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 If the cable keeps breaking, why doesn't the park just switch to satellite already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 CRAP! I'm visiting the park on the 9th-11th...I wonder if it could possibly get running again by then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelTheFORCE Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 That sucks. I'm going to the park on Sunday. Oh well, that's the good thing about Cedar Point...they have a plethora of other coasters/rides that will make it hard to even notice Millennium is down.

Calicoasters Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Sweet... Go ahead and break a week before I'm coming to the park for the first time!!! Â I'm going to be there 6/5 and this is the CP coaster I was most excited to ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netdvn Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 First TTD gets stuck on the top hat, and now MF's cable breaks... Â What's up with CP lately?? Â Next I predict, Maverick will explode and Raptor will derail... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 It's because the whole park is sinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Next I predict, Maverick will explode and Raptor will derail... Haha! Do I predict that Wicked Twister is going to fly off the top of one of the spikes! Anywho... Back on topic! I can not believe this happened. I mean I know coasters are not perfect, and things go wrong... But OMG! This is insane! But makes for a great picture!~Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emiroo Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Anyone know of exactly what was happening when it broke? Â I imagine we would have heard by now if it snapped while taking a loaded train up...but then again maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobloboi Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I'm happy that I got to ride it 4 times last Monday, but sad that I won't likely be able to ride it on the June 1st when I go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calicoasters Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 This is the worst news ever! Â I just died a little inside! Â If I don't get to ride Millennium Force that means I have to go back to the park again! TPR 2011 it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillrideseeker Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Anyone know of exactly what was happening when it broke? I imagine we would have heard by now if it snapped while taking a loaded train up...but then again maybe not. I did a bit of research and came up with this... The lift cable on Millennium Force broke today during test runs, apparently stranding employees on the ride. Those were some lucky employees!~Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slither37 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Wow, I would hope that CP has this up and running for Coastermania. It was scheduled for 2 hours of ERT Sat.morning. Here's hoping..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
