Anyone else taking the risk sunday?

It's still a little early but the forecast looks awful sunday. 70 percent chance of thunderstorms and severe ones possible. I know this doesn't means it's going to pour all day but it just worrys me a bit. I'm going to risk it and go Sunday. I'm only driving from columbus so a day at cp no matter what the weather is better than being home. Anyone else going to risk it and go Sunday?

I'm thinking about it. I've been at CP the past four Sundays, so I gotta keep my streak alive!

A rainy day at CP can be loads of fun, depending on what things you enjoy doing. Since you have Dragster in your name, I'll say that riding Dragster is not one of those things. But it might be a good day for some Millennium marathoning. I'm thinking the haunted houses will have very short lines as well, since they have every Halloweekend Sunday so far, and the weather has been decent to great.

Planning on Sunday too. Along with tonight,friday.

My parents and I will be there. We'll make the best of it, but let's hope it lets up or the forecast is wrong.

Does anyone know if Iron Dragon and/or Mine Ride operate in the rain? Those are my son's favorite rides so we had planned on going (if even for a few hours) but might choose not to if it's really gross out.

Does anyone know if gatekeeper runs in rain?

I'll probably be there. Rain + Halloweekends/Fall = one happy me.

Running in rain is one thing, running during lightning doesn't happen

We think we're going. That can change but that's the plan for now.

We are going for sure. I have to marathon Jr. Gemini with my grandson again.

I rode GK this summer in the absolutely pouring rain (no lightning). We were so surprised they were still running it! The only things open in entire front of the park at that time were GK, MaxAir and the racing horses. It was like GK and MaxAir were going to run no matter what. Can't say either ride was good....but hey, only a handful of times can we turn them both into water rides so why not :)

Side note: MaxAir was such a cold and hilarious ride in the rain, listening to the painful screams.... I was laughing so hard I was crying by the time it was over.

If you bring some extra clothes, have a good attitude, and plan to be wet/cold for a little while, I'd say go for it in the rain if things are open. Makes for a totally different ride!!

Have fun!

I'm going to wait until next Sunday. Not sure how bad crowds typically are on the Sunday before Columbus Day, but I'll give it a shot. Anybody know?

Unless there is a 100% chance of rain Sunday, I'll be there. Probably for just a few hours, but really needing a Millennium Force fix.

The Sunday before Columbus Day is typically a very, very packed house; weather permitting.

Also the park is open 3 extra hours that Sunday, 1 hour early, and 2 hours later. Obviously Cedar Point is expecting a crowd. I'm happy to say I'll be among that crowd. I'll be taking advantage of the fact that the outdoor haunts and Hotel Breakers are also open that day.

It's quite fun to ride in the rain at times, (when it's warm out) never done gatekeeper though in it, but we did ride WT in the rain once, and sat in the back row, and we stayed dry the whole time, even though it was pouring :)

But yeah, I'd say go in the rain, as it may stop at periods, and that's when people leave, so the lines get emptier.

I try to avoid Columbus day weekend even in any weather, too crowded for my taste :( but we are going the 19th and 20th.

I was going to go tomorrow, but I won't now. Not because of the unfavorable forecast, which now removed the severe threat, but because who I was going to with didn't get the day off tomorrow. I may be have to go next Saturday, but I dread that.

My last day I'll be able to go is this Friday. From what I've been reading, sounds like alot are saying to expect crowds then as well. Just have to make the best of it. I won't be able to make it for early entry either.

I dont know how accurate the radar is but we are less than 24 hours away and i did future cast and it looks like the rain will be missing sandusky until 5 and it only shows a tiny pocket of rain. Lets hope for the best!

I'm here now and the turnout was amazing. Not much rain, dragster has been open and everything is a walk on. Pretty awesome.
