Word on the street is that they were dimming the lights on The Force to extend lamp life in the lighting instruments.
If anyone at Cedar Point is reading this, please consider that those instruments dim mechanically, by iris, not by physically dimming the lamp itself. If you dim the lights, all you're doing is closing the thing down with the lamp at full intensity.
