Opening Day, not many posts...

Seems like an almost non existence of posts for an opening day (especially with TT2 or TT2.1)

Even reddit has posts of TT2 rollback today

Is the speed dumbed down that now it barely makes it over the top hat?

Was the fix... was to make it TTD?

I don’t think the speed was changed at all, but I only had 1 ride on it so far. The train is still hitting the same spots on the 1st and 2nd launches as it did last year. Of course there can be variances of a few feet or so from train to train but overall they reach the same spots. You still feel like you’re getting whipped around the spiral going up. Another major difference is I did not notice any shaking which was very noticeable last year.

There was at least 1 rollback during the employee ride time Friday evening and at least 1 that I saw yesterday. The thing I’ve noticed about these rollbacks along with a few I saw from last season is that the train is not reaching the second to last red track section on the reverse launch.

If the weather was suboptimal, I don't imagine people were as motivated to go.

The weather is definitely rough, if it weren’t for the fact I had already requested vacation days from work and booked a room at Breakers I wouldn’t be here now. It’s still fun though and we’re glad to be back. We still have the entire season to ride the rides. Overall the staff has been great and in general folks are in a good mood despite mother natures typical northern Ohio weather.

There were more people there yesterday than I expected.
The weather seems even worse today, so I'm staying home.

I left before TT2 was running.
I did catch Judy K as she made her first trip of the season.
And despite the wind and rain, Sky Ride was running. It did shut down for about 10 min while I was on it, so that was fun.

Given our kids' schedules, the next window of opportunity for us to go to an opening weekend will be 2031. Have to live vicariously through you crazy kids.

Looks like Millennium Force just valleyed? Per webcam. Train was stopped near top of first hill. Didn't complete cycle when they started it back up.

Well the webcam has been moved so this could be true.


First ride; Magnum 1994

It wouldn’t surprise me at all if that happened. My daughter told me numerous times today MF appeared to be struggling getting over the hills on Millenium island and it definitely looked slow to me as well.

Was interesting to see how long it took to settle into that valley. Went back and forth several times.

Back...and forth.....I can imagine this being pretty unnerving for riders not knowing this can be a thing.

What a weird spot. I've seen it go slowish through the last turn, but never in danger of not making it. And yeah, that's a long stretch of level track to Ocean Motion through. Either they're using an unproven wheel material or something out of line caused a lot of friction.
