Maxair broken down???

Or posting phony teaser blogs...

As I mentioned before, I have the worst luck with MaxAir.

The only time I am going this season is on closing day, and once again, it looks like MaxAir will be down.

Screamscape just posted today that the ride might not even be open by the beginning of next year. No way it can take that long...

No, that's not what it said, nice of you to change around someone's words for them. I'm not a huge fan of screamscape but if you're going to quote them at least quote them.

I’m not sure if anyone can verify this, but apparently MaXair at Cedar Point will not be reopening before next season.

Which is exactly what I posted earlier in this thread...

From what I understood the part was in the vicinity of $750k and it will not be operational until '08.

It actually said it has bigger things to worry about. Possibly them acting once again like they know what our 08/09 present is.

So suddenly P&D's budget is coming from maintenance. What other absurd statements do we want to believe?

A major attraction being down is a big thing, at least it has been in the past. I can't think of anything that would be more of a priority.

^^ - of course Loops, I wouldn't be surprised if SS read your comment here and then turned it into a post on their site.

Exactly. Nothing looks worse and puts a bad taste in people's mouths like a ride not working.

^ - And sometimes the rides take that literally.

^Now why would you bring such a dark period back to the present. I tried to forget about that story.

Exactly. Just because you hate TTD John, doesn't mean you have to continually badmouth the ride.

It did just make it's 1 millionth rider this season. So obviously plenty of other people still enjoy it!

And it's your beloved moly orange hunk of steel that's responsible for our wonderful new rain policy!

I was being a little sarcastic.

Oh Snap. This is getting ugly.

So yeah, about that maXair being busted... bummer...

I never said I hated it. I am glad it gave its 1 millionth ride finally. Its about time. And I'm glad its finally had a consistent operating season. Nothing looks worse at the park than a ride that is not operating, whether its TTD or maXair or Jr. Gemini.

And besides, if you can't laugh at the issues that TTD has had while growing up, then maybe you are taking the whole roller coaster amusement park hobby just a bit too seriously.

I can laugh at it. But you seem to point out it's flaws every chance you get.

It just has had the most opportunities for humor of any ride built in the last 20 years.

Its not very often that a coaster decides to assault its riders (although SoB did last season), much less give them free piercings.

SoB didn't just assault its riders last season... It has assaulted its riders since the day it opened.... they just don't write about that in newspapers.

Just curious did those people on TTD when it broke get a rollback? :)

Deja Vu?? Many problems that make me laugh
X? Need I say more
Chiller SfGA Lots of problems
Kingda Ka?
Steel Dragon
Superman

I see coasters on this list that are going to be removed because they are more of a "problem/joke" than TTD!!

If anything you should be happy that you have TTD at CP. It is what helps keep your line down at Magnum.

And the fact that you would comment about TTD's accident is out of control!! It happened let it go! Everyone was fine and was riding rides the same day.

And to answer the other question the train cleared the tower.

Actually its MF that keeps the lines down, before MF Magnum would have Raptor size waits most of the day, after MF it has those glorious <30 min waits.

WoW. Now see, that's what I mean about taking things too seriously.

Did you mean WoW or wow!?

I can understand if you meant taking WoW too seriously, I've lost many good friends to that monster. :)
