MF also rolled back Saturday. I was there and saw the blue train being pulled through the last turn before the brakes.

First MF rolled back on the island, then when they got it over the lagoon hop it failed to make it through the final overbanked turn and rolled back again on Saturday. Then they got it through the turn and that was the end of the rollbacks.

I think that can only be counted as one rollback... ;) Of course it wasn't going to make it through the final overbank if it was starting from a stop at the top of the return hill... :)

Majin Heero Said..Then they got it through the turn and that was the end of the rollbacks

For this episode anyway ;). Tune in next week as Cedar Point Maintenance chases it all over the island.

Actually, Raptor Twister, it didn't roll back until later in the day. I rode it twice sometime between 2 and 3. When I went back around 6, the red train was under the head choppers. It looked like they already had a small crane and a truck waiting to get it off.

With all the "rollbacks", perhaps Wal-Mart is now a CP corporate sponsor...
(insert rimshot and boo-ing here)

Maybe then they'd rollback the soda prices...and the food prices...and the gate prices...
