Too Cold to Operate?

I just got off the phone with Cedar Point, and I asked then about M-Force's status. She said they dont know really what the problem is yet, but they are working on it. I asked her if she would be up ad running by Monday, and she said she was not sure, but she hopes so.... ;)

Anyhoo, I asked her about how the cold and only cloudy (NO RAIN) weather on Monday (the 20th), will effect the coasters (mid 50's) and she said that M-Force has been known last year to shut down if it was too cold, along with some other coasters....if it will be in the Mid-50's on Monday, will they shut down some if not all the coasters?? From what I've seen, the wind will be out of the North, 5-10 MPH.....

It ran in the snow last year, so cold isn't really that big of a deal because they have heaters under the station to warm up the bearings. As for the wind add about 10 MPH to that because of the lake, but 15-20 doesn't sound to bad. Still it's up to them.

I just got of the ride an hour and a half ago. the wind was at about 15 MPH blowing in from Canada and it had no effect on it what so ever even with the occasional drizzling rain even though cedar point has the rep of shuting down the big draws at the first drop of rain.

Millenium Force - this much fun has to be illegal

The high at CP today barely reached 50 degrees and all the rides continued to run. Besides the yellow train on MF, everything was running, even in the rain and sleet that came around 7:45 today.

MidwayMan, are you going to be there tomorrow? Im going for the day too. That forecast looks right, I hope the park inst crowded, anyone think it would be??

Yep, I plan on going Monday, :) I can't wait!!

In my opinion Force312, I don't think it will be too crowded cause everybody is still in school, and the cold weather will keep big crowds away.

Oh, from the looks of the webcams today, it seems M-Force has been up and running! Hopefully this is a sign of good things to come!! :)
