I love how they call it "Guest Illness" when asked what the delay is.

^^Magnum is worse than some of the others because of that lovely ejector airtime. That figure is pretty accurate, especially on the really hot, busy days. There are sometimes where we will go a couple of days without incident and some where there are a few. I can't say that cleaning those up are the highlight of working Magnum but hey, at least we are not maXair. Rest assured though that we thoroughly clean and sanitize the affected areas and then cycle that train empty for a few cycles before we put it back in operation.

To answer the OP, all of that change people throw in and the change people lose while riding all gets donated to a charity of the parks choosing at the end of the season. It is a pretty substantial amount. I don't know the exact amount but it is in the thousands.

Is it just me or should Cedar Point completely redo Magnum's trains with softer restraints and more comfortable seats? I love the airtime on the coaster, but every pop of zero-g sends me flying into the tight iron bar they call a restraint.

I would support new lap bars. Next time you ride it, pull your seat belt as tight as you can and have it flat against you. It is a wider surface than the round lap bars. Also, if you hold on to the grab bar through the bunny hills, it helps a ton.

Thanks for the tip, GDUBS! I'll definitely try that next time I ride Magnum.

I don't know how often then have to clean maXair after a "guest illness," but I do know they don't bother to put the hose away.

Tell me about it! Thankfully, I've never been on a ride during a guest illness so far.

I ride Magnum with my hands between my thighs and the lap bar, palms up.

The ejector seat always seems to be one of the shortest lines when we get to the platform, so my daughter and I usually get in that. Riding this way has made it much more enjoyable.

Does anyone know if SRF and TC opened for the season yet?

I will take a guess SRF and TC will open same day as Shores. I saw people working on TF from Maverick and saw testing of SRF yesterday.

They will open on the same day, actually. I asked an employee.

It’s memorial day weekend same as the waterpark has been for years.... but don’t you worry, there will still be plenty of too cold days where those will be a walk on.

And then you'll end up freezing your ass off because you want to do the water rides but don't have the patience for them. If you're like me that is.

Riding Skyhawk for the first time, right after SRF With soaked shorts, was one of the scariest rides ever. I loved it, and try to get newbies to the park to ride it that way too.

Yeah I intend to do that more this year, come from the Shores and ride the water rides a bit, then ride Skyhawk all wet.
