I waited it out until about 10:30 and then gave up hope. What time did the park call it quits?
It would have been nice if they would have sent an op out to explain to guests that the ride was down. The line stretched over to the railroad crossing and then switched back along the fence and was back almost to red garter when I left. I was over near the railroad crossing and no one in line knew what was going on.

they called it quits at about 11:15, but the worst thing was that they said they couldn't get it up and running in time for ride night and 5 mins after they cancelled and everyone walked away they started sending empty trains through! There were alot of unhappy people when they saw that!

My brothers and I have platinum passes and we were at Cedar Point yesterday but we wearn't going to stay for the ride night because my brother had to work at 6 in the morning and we had a 2 hour ride back home. But we decided not to ride Millenium yesterday until it got dark....bad choice!! We got in line at about 9pm and we made it up the ramp to the exit station and it broke down. It was about 9:30pm. It sucked. So we didn't get to ride it at all! :(
We waited it out until about 10:15pm and we just gave up. Tony was standing right next to us in the station and he looked furious. That stinks though. The same thing happened to us on Dragsters ride night this year too.

Can't Wait!!!
Thanx for the info guys. I wondered how it turned out. When I saw MF wasn't running (after I had gotten out of TTD's line when that one broke down) I rode Maverick twice. I walked back to MF and saw everyone in line as described. I kept on walking, betting it wouldn't run that night. The maintenance cart was at the top of the lift hill in under an almost full moon in the clouds. Kind of eerie.
I imagine it wasn't moved to TTD because that was down. I bet it wasn't moved to Maverick because they had something going on at 6 am the next day according to a ride op. That would have been brutal on them.
I actually lucked out with the TTD ERT. I wasn't able to make it on the original date. But I have to say, that even with less Platinum pass holders for the re-scheduled TTD, there were still more there than Joe Cool the past 2 years. I got 5 TTD ERT rides (not complaining a bit) compared to 8 the previous two years (others got 10 or 11 but I'm not an overzealous single rider :) )
So I don't know about the Platinum ERT's. I can do my own personal ERT ride 'til you drop on weekdays in May as well as Friday Night HalloWeekends. The weird weather day after Memorial day was another one like that when I rode Maverick 7 times in an hour. It takes 1.5 minutes to run onto the seat from the entrance if you care to know. I don't recommend it though. You could sprain an ankle. But I had to do it just once.
