Man was it an unusual friday, normally you would think that the lines would be horribly long, and outrageous, but it wasn't the lines were amazingly short. Me and my brother decided to go to the Point out of the blue to meet our friends up there. We got there at 3, and first went to the power tower and walked straight on to it, green side, then went straight for dragster took like 20 mins to get on, it broke down for like 5 mins, then started running again, man was it just another awesome ride. We then went to the magnum, and it was just a walk on ride, to me it seems like it has gotten a little jurkier, but anywayz, it was still fun, we then went to the gemini, which was another walk on ride, when we sat down the ride op announced that the dragster was stuck at the top, so we all turned in our seats and look over, it was unbelievable, at how it just stopped perfectly balanced up there. After the gemini we just sat and watch the mechanic, after they were sitting up there for like 20 mins, ride up the elevator and push them down the hill. We then went to mean streak, it was again another walk on ride, and let me tell you no wonder it was a walk on, that ride has gottin so jurky you can't even enjoy the ride. Then it was time for Millennium Force, it took about 30 mins to get on it, and it was just amazing with the sun setting while we were riding it. we went back to the power tower, againa walk on ride,green side again, and then it was time for Top Thrill Dragster again, after it has gotten stuck up there my nerves were jumping out of control , it took about 10 mins this time, and while we are going over the top hat, my brother is trying to grab the stairs to stop the train, he is such a idiot. We then went to ride maXair but the line was to long, so we went to wicked twister, whihc was a walk on ride, then raptor which we waited like 5 mins to ride. That was the last ride of the night, but man was it an unusual friday. Me and my brother were expecting to get in like two rides, getting there at 3 on a friday, but yet we rode 10. It was awesome, and the stuck train on the tophat of dragster just made it exdrodinary.

Wow, stuck at the top WITH PEOPLE IN IT!!!

If thats really true, that has to be a first....

Actually it's the second time it's happened. http://www.pointbuzz.com/cpplace.aspx?mode=thread&TopicID=16774

Yes, but this is the first time its happened with people in it (suppousedly)

Apparently its gotten stuck up there 3 times without anyone in it, but never with people in it.

This is the fifth time the hydraulically propelled coaster has stopped at the top of the hill since opening in 2003, and the second time it happened when riders were in the coaster, (Robin Innes) said.

I wasnt trying to get in an arguement. I do now see that I was wrong, looks like it was actually the 2nd time its happened with riders in it. Although I dont see where it says that in the thread bholcomb posted, which is why I thought that he was thinking it was the second time its ever happened at all. But Walt cleared it up for me, thanks, sorry for any confusion, I certaintly wasnt trying to cause trouble.

When i was there, the Gemini Ride Op, said that it has happened many times with people in it, and that the mechanic has to push it down almost once a week or so
