2007 TTD status: Day to Day

I have inside sources that can tell me how she ran on a given day.;)

If your source is better than a ride host, then I might be impressed.

Let's just say I think I can take their word for it.....whatever they might say.

What an opening day! Dragster was pretty touch and go in the morning and evening but ran great throughout the day. I didn’t really notice any substantial downtime besides, again, the morning and evening. The blocks were pretty touch in the evening but it was pretty cold anyway, so I could see how hard it was for Dragster to run.

Anyway, the first day in the log is most definitely marked as green. Now let's see how the rest of the season fairs.

That good to hear, Dragster didn't have a rough or bad opening day. I was watching the Cleveland webcam yesterday morning, and saw it roll back at 9am could that have been its first of the season? I can't wait till Monday! *** Edited 5/13/2007 4:25:14 PM UTC by Daniel Smith***

Not to run this thread off track or anything, but Adam, do you own this yet?

That, and it was pretty chilly in the morning... it was doing the same at night when the temperatures fell below 60 degrees

This wasn't uncommon today during testing and with riders.

This morning seemed to be a little tough for Dragster during JC. My mom and I were in line for about 2 hours before we finally got on, though it did appear that after the first 2 or 3 hours, it was off to a great day. I think they had a blocking/sensor issue for a while this morning, as it seemed that all of the trains weren't setting up at their proper positions, and that took quite a while to fix.

I did notice that it wasnt launching trains the other day around a certian time (forgot what time it was). They didnt close Dragster did they? How long would you say it was down BlueStreak64?

it wasnt closed or anything they were just luanching trains like every10-15 min and the first 5 or 6 trains had rollbacks

Ok, thanks for the info.

There was aa 10-15 minute period yesterday (Sunday) where TTD was "down" probably around 4:30. I was stuck on the 2nd train in line waiting for them to reset it or whatever they do. I was pissed too, because when they launched the train ahead of the one I was on, it rolled back! Twice I've missed a rollback by 1 train! One day it'll happen ...

Any report today? I watched the cleveland cam for a little bit (about 20 minutes) at around 3 and didnt see a single train launch.

Yea, I think Dragster ran for a bit in the Morning but during mid-Afternoon I didn't see a single Train launch when I was there. They had the station cleared out and the Ride-Ops were just cleaning. There were only 4 people in line by the entrance. Saw some maintenance. You could mark this has a Half-Day I suppose.

Actually, a lot of the rides today were running slow intervals and about an hour to close most the major rides were down for maintenance. Some of those opened back up after a short down time though. Dragster, Power Tower (Only one tower was running), Magnum was running slow and had a 10min downtime around 7pm. Skyhawk was all kinds of crazy with its downtime today. Raptor went down a few times for a good amount of time.

I got a Roll Back on Sunday, third train of the day.

May 14, 2007 - Update

Ride was up for the entire morning, shut down around 1:30 PM.

It reopened around 6:30 PM and the queue stayed open 30 minutes after close and had its last train at around 8:10 PM.

There ya go Adam.

Now that's what I'm talking about!:)
Thanks Craig! I'll expect good things from a member of the Power Tower crew.:)

Haha, I saw that in the window of Speed Zone and instantly thought of Adam. I know he is going to have to add that to his collection!
