Power Outage 8/24

12:00 pm Stuck on Gemini's lift. They said the back half of the park has lost power. Eerily quiet.

And you have your phone out? Oh, boy. 🤣

At least it is not a water main break.

Good thing you weren't on Steel Vengeance because we never would have known about the outage. Be safe.

The water park is out as well. People walking down the slides. Looks like we're getting ready for a walk down.

Let the whole-making begin!

At least its the first day of the OH v MI food truck wars, so people will still be able to eat. (Bonus that its not CP food)

Power restored!

Power must still be out in parts of the park as there are riders on the catwalk on top of Valravn leaning on the railing, apparently enjoying the view, waiting for their turn in the funicular.

I'd rather be in my boat with a drink on the rocks,
than in the drink with a boat on the rocks.

Well for once I'm glad I'm not at the park.

I was there when the power went out the first time this season, and the waterpark was running, but this time it isn't.

The line at Guest Services is steadily growing!

We're having a good time in the parking lot. We were in line for Millennium Force when it went out.

Power was also out in parts of Sandusky itself - and a good chunk of downtown, but it didn't appear to stretch into Perkins Township much (if at all). We lost power in my office near the library and courthouse, but there were no interruptions where my wife was at out near the Sheriff's office and county fairgrounds.

Proud to have fathered a second generation coaster enthusiast destined to keep me young at heart and riding coasters with a willing partner into my golden years!

Seriously, what happened? Why is the power out?

Sometimes power goes out. Storms can take it out. Power lines can be down. Transformers have problems. Haven't seen a reason given for this outage. Looks like about 9000 people in Erie County are without power. Wonder if they count CP as one?

That’s a fake account, made by someone who apparently doesn’t like the new Steel Vengeance phone rule too much.

Channel 13 in Toledo reported there was an issue with a power substation.

And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

I feel so defeated. The Twitter handle is the same and everything, except it’s in all capital letters haha. Not having a verified check mark should’ve been the big clue but I just didn’t think about it.

I was/am confused by that too since Twitter handles should not be case sensitive

I know rides going down sucks and all but the post on twitter by the person complaining they had to spend an hour and a half at Hotel Breakers "doing nothing" made me laugh. Did they not notice the beach?
