Down?

I was there and As soon as I pulled into the parking lot, I saw a red going up the hill and stopping about halfway up. they got it down in about a half hour, but it happened later in the day with yellow. they said it might be up later in the night, but never made it. maXair was workin, but broke early afternoon. They almost got it back up, as It was testing...about 20 feet off the ground, but that's something...it's working now.

Sorry, I only have expierence with auto unions, and they do suck. All they do is take your money to support themselves. They have very little power to do anything for their members anymore. Not like their help is needed anymore...

And I'm a downsized autoworker. Granted, not unionized, but close enough to see.

Maybe it's different outside of automotive.

Outside of Union and Maintenence photography issues...

Has anyone heard anything new on the status of MF?

Last year when the Catch Car left the train behind, they had it back up the same day... Something else must be an issue.

It reopened yesterday for a few hours and then went down at 11:30ish. It was then closed all of yesterday and today after that. On the plus side, I got 2, yes, count em' 2 cycles on Dragster with only 1 half hour delay while in line.

This is just getting ridiculous with MF. I hope its up and running by Friday!

Wait a minute...

Did Fastball84 just say ONLY a half hour delay on TTD? Did you catch that Adam? :)

At least the queues are clean. :)

Josh, I made a fool of myself the last weekend I was at the park. A guy named Josh on MF came up to me and asked me about my '04 MF Crew Shirt, and I was like "Oh! Are you Josh from PointBuzz"... and he gave me the stupidest look and said... "No, theres another Josh..." So I was trying to introduce myself and failed miserably...

Open mouth....insert foot.

Looking at the funcoast cam there is abut 6 maintenence guys up at the peak of millennium force, working on it, just looking at this makes me leary.

What the hell are they working on up there?

It's the apocalypse!!:)

lol seriously though, it was sad not getting a ride on Millennium. I was hoping Sundays stop at the top wasn't anything serious......but I guess it was.:(

And Fastball, when did you go? Memorial Day?

Technical difficulties with this computer. Have GP been evac'd from the Force before? I know Richey has! :)

Guys, as I stated before... the catch car.

And BTW, the catch car is still at the top of the hill. I saw it there all day yesterday.

Don't worry dude, Millennium Force has been very very reliable since it opened. You have to give it some credit, it hasn't had as many problems as Dragster. And by the way what exactly is the catch car that you guys keep talking about?

It appears to be down again. It might have ran this morning because the message on the CP website didn't appear until sometime after 1 PM.

The catch car is the mechanism attached to the cable that takes you to the top of the lift. Right before you leave the station you will hear a "clink"... that is the catch car engaging with the train...

Apparently what happened on Sunday is that the catch car disengaged with the train and kept on going... Leaving the train stranded...

Whats interesting is that the train appeared to stop where the normal block stop is.

I wish I had all the answers... but don't we all?

Is MF still down?If it is does anyone no when it will be back up i'm leaving this sunday for a 5 day trip up their.

It says on CP's site that it is closed.
