I rode it yesterday ( June 14th )

Wow! What a ride it was. We jumped in line right after we saw it run consistently for about 15 minutes. After waiting through one 15 min breakdown and a 1 1/2 hour line I was on. I got front car, and I was pumped. The green hit and the hands went up! I was so excited, anyone else wanna share their experience of it?

Wow! The first one here to ever ride TTD...

TTD should be changed to TTL- Top Thrill Lawn Ornament! As of 6/14/03- Nevermind!

I went today 6-15 just later in the day around 530 cause i heard it would be up by 5. It never did open. At one point the music and stuff started playing and people rushed to the line but i think they hit a wrong button. But i know i will get my turn sooner or later!

I got to ride it Saturday also, it was thrilling! But with all great rides I guess comes all new innovations. By hydraulic system, I think they use pneumatics, and in my years in robotics ( I know that's only for high school students) but it is just unimaginable to hear about a ride of that magnitude to launch a five ton train over a 420 foot hill.

------------------
Life has it's ups and downs, might as well make it on a coaster!

The only pneumatics on the ride have nothing to do with actually launching the train, they just operate the brakes.

check the cam on cedar points site tell me if that's a line...2nd cam

It sure looks like a line is forming...But who knows if the ride will really open today. People see it launch then a line normally always forms. Maybe today the ride will open.

well...i was there on monday and the signs were out about it not being open and people still got in line, something is definately up, i hope it opens up...people deserve to ride after it being down so long (lots of broken hearts)

First full train just launched with people. Its fully working now. Lets hope it stays up.

Scratch that, the train pushed back into the station, looks like its still scared of people.

Has anyone seen a train with people go over yet?

1 train and now there is another push back.

what do you mean by push back?

It didn't launch. I wonder how long those poor people will stand in line. It will be a bummer if they don't open it. I have a gut feeling that it won't be open.

Is it just me, or is the line gone? I can't tell if there is anyone left in the station house either.

have they let people into the actual line yet leading up to the station?

i wish i could just get ahold of someone on the inside to find out what is going on....

The queue is full leading up to the station AND there is a line going past the 2nd webcam. This is crazy. They are going to have to wait at least 4 hours if not alot more then that.

They loaded a train, so there had to be people let into the station. But the line on the sidewalk is gone and I can't tell if there is anyone in the station house. My first thought was that they let people lined up on the sidewalk into the que line, but I still haven't seen a train launch. So if they did the people are just waiting in line.
