Chaos Dismantled

Anyone been to the park recently to see if Chaos has its cars on yet?

I was there today and they still did not have any of the cars on.

Aynone else been lately to tell us how good old Chaos is doing?

I was there Saturday and yesterday, no cars on Chaos.

No cars as Bull mention, but at Saturday night the lights on the back panels were on as if the ride was open.

[url][url]On CP's facebook page Tony says it isn't ready yet.

I was there opening weekend and perhaps it's just me but I felt like the park was not ready for opening day.

While it doesn't make me happy, I understand that there will be mechanical problems (and there were many).

However, I can not understand how they can open the park with so much unfinished work...

Trains yet to be on the track - Mean Streak, Corkscrew, (and maybe TTD - sorry I can't remember).

Chaos - no cars and now I find out that they still don't have it ready.

CCMR - Not being certified by the state until Sunday afternoon.

Mean Streak - Ride Photo Building - at least 6 monitors not working at all or barely visible picture.

I may be over critical but I expect a little more from the greatest amusement park in the world.

Ever been to a Six Flags on opening day?;)

But these coasters were open, right? Did it really matter if one Mean Streak train was not ready?

Yes, they were open. I'll give you that one.

CCMR was open opening day
because i defiantly took a ride on it.

Such a rebel! ;)

That's interesting Kyle, we went by it numerous times and it had not opened. A woman in line actually picked up the phone at the entrance and called the station b/c there was no employee at the start of the line. They informed her that they could not open the ride until it passed the inspection.

Perhaps that's why he had to ride it so defiantly. :)

I think the Mean Streak ride photo is just dying a slow death. Seems like they could care less about maintaining it for years now. I'm surprised they didn't scrap it a long time ago.

How much business is it actually doing? Unless your photo comes with the legend, "Look at me, I'm stupid! I got suckered into riding Mean Streak," there's really not much use for it. Okay, that was a tad harsh. I still count myself in the 'like' column for the ride -- but only marginally, and decreasing with each year they don't fix the darn thing.

Bear in mind, they are operating with fewer ride technicians today than they had in 1974.

Speaking of Mean Streak; which I rode a few days ago - I noticed Chaos cars still sitting behind the maintenance building located between Gemini and Mean Streak. At this point, it could be Halloweekends before Chaos is ready to run this year.

Well, I guess I won't be riding it this weekend. Hopefully it will be ready by CoasterMania!

But as I already asked in this thread, are those the old Chaos cars from MiA or the current ones from Cedar Point? There have been old Chaos cars sitting back there for a few years now.

I was told by a worker that Chaos was moving to another park, this has been confirmed nowhere but seems to be something worth watching for.
