After what happened a few years ago, I would imagine they are taking even more precautions. Would you want this ride to break mid flight ?

I just don’t understand how this is something they didn't catch during testing (I was pleasantly surprised how early they started testing) or the couple weeks of previews they had. I purposefully waited to book my hotels, etc for my roadtrip until opening day to make sure there were no issues, yet here we are. I understand things like this happen it’s just frustrating how it wasn’t caught earlier, or perhaps ignored until it couldn’t have been anymore.

Depends on what it is. If its some part that broke, it could have just not broke during testing.

Wow …. Not being opened for Memorial Day crowds has got to be a big disappointment for the team.

Yeah, it could very well be something that took a little bit of time/use to wear down to the point of concern. Whatever it is, the general rumor (and I can't stress it enough, RUMOR.) seems to be focused on an issue with the trains.

The only thing I do know is there were reports of a lot of rollbacks when the trains were trying to clear the hill, and that the cushions for the wheel bogeys are pretty small compared to the heavy-duty fat ones that the Intamin trains had.

Either way, it's a big wait and see on whenever the coaster will get back up and running, and when it does, if there's any visible differences to the trains, as that'll probably give the best insight on what the issue was.

I'm way out of the loop, but the day it was having a bunch of rollbacks was a really windy day that it would have been closed on in the past.

Of course it hasn't opened since, so it's hard to say if it was just wind, or that's when they discovered the problem.

It's a petting zoo and they are part of the crew. Maybe they were mad because they saw the price for FastLane Plus as well as the wait times for Steel Vengeance.

Had no idea they had a petting zoo. Pretty sure they were pissed off because top thrill 2 still isn’t open

Agreed. I am so concerned about this dragging the Cedar Fair parks into the morass of Six Flags.

I think it will be Six Flags parks being brought up, not Cedar Fair parks going down. The top management will almost all be the current CF team running things.

Judging by my local Cedar Fair park, they don’t have too far to slide!
