I wonder if they'll use this down time to add some free lockers to the queue line. I somehow doubt it.
I’m supposed to be going June 16-20. First time coming and never rode dragster. I literally went out my way not to come until the new dragster was ready. So this is a big deal to me.I know so many people who've gone out there, or are heading out there in the coming weeks, this really sucks for them. :/
I take it you've seen the news @Will ??? Hope it's back up and running for you.
I mean… second half of June, should be back open by then right? RIGHT?I’m supposed to be going June 16-20. First time coming and never rode dragster. I literally went out my way not to come until the new dragster was ready. So this is a big deal to me.
Does anyone know if the hotel breakers offers rescheduling for later in the season? I googled it but found more questions than answers so I may call them. Fingers crossed that this is much quicker fix than it looks

Yeah - I'd seen. I'm just going to have to accept it will probably be closed rather than driving myself mad looking at updates and clinging onto hopeI know so many people who've gone out there, or are heading out there in the coming weeks, this really sucks for them. :/

They have an ok batting average; indeed the rumors seem to corroborate and point to refabrication of a train component. Fingers crossed on seeing motion at least by June.Not entirely sure how reliable of a source Screamscape is, but they seem to think the closure will be two months minimum, which makes sense based off everything we've heard. Gutted as I'm going on a bit of a once in a lifetime trip to CP all the way from the UK in mid-June, and TT2 was potentially my most anticipated ride.

Heard they were originally intended but got cut. Very much hearsay but Cedar Point cut some fat from the budget apparently, according to a couple of different sources at the park. Tony Clark would have you believe it’s not possible but if they truly wanted them they would have done that.I wonder if they'll use this down time to add some free lockers to the queue line.

But at least the OTSRs with no seatbelts remain in tact!I initially dismissed it as teething issues with a prototype but apparently the situation is serious.
TT2 crew was kept in the dark on the issues but maintenance has been kind enough to leak out stats to a bunch of ride ops and the info's run rampant, so ok to spread. From a firsthand source though the final tally has come down to 27 cracked wheel bogies on all three trains, damaged chassis, and some broken LSM fins. All of this after only two days of public operation, a few days of previews, and several months of commissioning.
As @Hyde mentioned the trains have been making physical contact with the LSM's. Whether this was caused or exacerbated by the "rough ride" isn't clear.
Oh those lockers were planned all the way up to the final design. That and a couple other trivial things were cut from the budget to pay for an expense that the original coaster had left Cedar Fair. Although Tony Clark would have you believe otherwise, it was definitely possible.
Overall I wasn't intending to get out to Cedar Point this year anyways so not terribly iffed by the possibility of an extended closure. Had some friends that travelled for opening weekend and they were pretty wowed, hope for everyone's sakes they can fix these issues quickly. Also hoping even harder that Canada's Wonderland didn't buy Zamperla for whatever our Project 2025 is, would be a travesty if that park was spending huge amounts of money on infrastructure for a mechanically challenged prototype .
