2007 TTD status: Day to Day

Any reports for today/friday?

TTD ran pretty good today. The line moved rather well and it consistently made it over...sorry you didn't get your rollback on your b-day though TTD.

Oh well. At least I was able to ride yesturday as apposed to Memorial day when I wasnt able to ride at all.
And I'm starting to think I'm connected to Dragster because when we headed to her line on both of the rides, she was down BUT went up AS SOON as I got to the entrance!!

Weird!:)

Friday it was down due to winds until the storm passed.

I was there Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday last week, the 5th, 6th, and 7th. All three days TTD was up and running for a vast majority of the day. It had a short breakdown Thursday, maybe 20 minutes long, and was down for weather on Tuesday night. I was honestly impressed by how well it was running this year.

One day we'll have to go ride it early in the morning, then you have a much better possibility of your rollback. I also noticed that TTD has been running better than in years past.

I'll corroborate what ltrain2006 said. TTD seemed to be running flawlessly the whole day -- or at least from about 12:30 this afternoon until 9:00 tonight. They were moving trains through the cycle pretty fast. From ID, the line looked like about 30 minutes around 1:00, and about 45 minutes or so around 7:00.

I was there at the park yesterday, 6/19/07. Apart from the rain that was on and off from the morning until 3pm, TTD seemed to run very well and efficiently until around 7 something. I don't know what happened but it was down for close to 2hrs until I was leaving at 9 when i saw it start launching again. I got on it in a half our earlier in the day.

Ran great Monday and today (left the park today at 2pm)

Tues she was down mechanical early and then weather related as TTDCP said.

Was at the park today, 6/28. This is a first. Absolutely no down time what so ever today. All day from 9-till 6:30 when we left, not even a problem with loading in the station, 15min waits, 5 rides in an hour. Best experience ever. It's still running perfectly now on the cleveland cam too. Impressive.

She's running like a beast so far. I can't believe how well they're hitting (and breaking) intervals!

GO DRAGSTER!!!! KEEP IT UP!!!

TTD was running nicely all day on Wednesday, 6/27. 20-30 minute lines, and I got 2 rides.

^^^ Dang it! I missed CP's annual "75-minute hour" day!

;)

Dragster ran like a champ on Wendsday. No downtime that I saw at all.

When I rode, it only had a ten min line too!

Thursday she did great as well. Line was at the ramp throughout the day. :)

Ran great on Friday 6/29 (at least from 2pm on). I ended the night on the last train :)

^^ Yes, ramp all day (6/28), literally. I got 5 Rides in :). It was a wonderful day at the point

Maybe off topic, but how many rides could Dragster give if she ran perfectly all year? Could they even do the 2 million rides that the sign in the queue says?

It'd be very tough, and it'd be pushing the limits.....possibly going beyond the limits.

For now, let's just wait for that elusive 1,000,000.....which I cant imagine is far away with how great she's been running, like yesterday. She actually didn’t open up till 1, but WOW did she make up for it. There was a few other short downtimes that caused many people to become impatient and leave the line....but it ended up benefiting Mark, my friend and I. 5 rides with the last being the last train of the day....which was one of the loudest trains I have ever been on (and apart of of course;)). I always get a different vibe from riding Dragster at night. It always seems to be more enjoyable going on her at night as people are more pumped and the ops do fantastic jobs at getting everyone excited. It's those kinds of things that make Maverick and Dragster some of the best coasters to ride at night.

I’m going to try to make the rest of my vast majority of Dragster rides at night since that seems to be the best time to go on. Not to mention that I’m only 20 rides short of 200!!
Mark, don't forget that you have to be there when I get my 200th, since I was with you for your 200th. We’ll make it front.;)

BTW, I was there with my daughter on Sunday (July 1st). Dragster seemed to be running most of the day. It went down sometime around 3:30, but by five or so, when we made it back that way again, it was up and running.
