Vertigo single tower collapse

If it would have hit Magnum, they would have reported that on the news.  Crushing Magnum would definitely not qualify as "minimal damage".

Break the scream barrier in 2002!
Wicked twists: 0

Why It could Have Been Wicked Twister:

-First tower is around 65 feet at this point

-It looked unstable today as I looked at the cam

Why it can't be WT:

-No lights on in Cam

Vertigo (Why)

-Each section is around 65 feet.

Also, In columbus the winds have been around 25 all day. It's raining now. I fear they didn't secure it enough, and WT is down.

Winds are always that strong in the winter time have been all winter CP gets the same weather as I do in the toledo area and it wasn't extroidinaireily windy today either.Something just sounds weird.

Welcome back Magnum riders how was your ride?

Also wind strong enough to bring down WT would do a whole heck of a lot more damage, I don't think wind really had anything to do with any of this sounds like a construction incident.  has any work been scheduled for vertigo?

They won't be laughing when Wicked Twister is ready and is awesome! Even if it did collapse, it will still be ready, in my opinion.

LOL why does it always have to be cedar fair vs six flags, I have plenty of fun at both of em
