ok i was at cedar point yesterday 5/27 and milly was open for most of the day. I got at the park at 9:00 because I stayed at Breakers Express (and saw the new coaster track :D) and it wasn't doing test runs. I was heading toward Mantis because I was able to ride it early but it was broken down, so I went over to Milly nd they said it would be open...so overall, I was able to get 3 rides on milly yesterday. It ran the whole night too..

The yellow train just left the hill

The catch car detached from the train around 11am, after intermittent problems in the morning and yesterday.

It was scheduled to be up at 5pm, but apparently its up already.

Is it running right now? I have been watching funcoast and have yet to see a train leave the station.

Oooh... Catch Car detachment... Either that happened before, or we, as the crew just speculated about it all the time....

If MF still hasn't run, its my guess that they might examine the catch car and make fixes so this doesn't happen again any time soon.

As of right now millennium force is not running, been watching the funcoast cam dont see nothing going up the hill.

Man, this is a real shame... The year that the crew is really hitting the mark as far as capacity, 2 semi-major mechanical issues happen in around a weeks time.

Go Go Intamin Reliability!!

For what it's worth, I happened to be taking some aerials while they were working.

I have no clue what happened. Thought I would share these pictures, not because they offer any clues, but because I thought it was kind of neat watching them work at that height!

Great pics Walt...

Its clear that the sled and catch car definitely are not where they are supposed to be... I assume the catch assembly was lowered back into the station. It looks like they pulled the train over the lift somehow... At least with what I can see... Very interesting

Awesome shots!

Walt sure stays on top of things, good going Walt!
