Thanks for the invite/heads up Tony. I can't think of any other ride in the park that is harder to marathon than MaXair. :)

I rode maXair for the Bert the Conqueror shoot. I'm not sure I'd want to do that again. I love maXair. But, 1 time per visit is my limit.

How long do you have to be on the ride?

Up to 2.5 hours. But, with as many as 300 participants, I'm sure they're taking into account that many people will not be able to ride over and over.

That being said, with how film shoots go, the time between intervals can be quite long. Be prepared to do a lot of standing around and waiting.

I signed up so Ill just take the long way to work on Friday. Question, I know they said plain clothing, but I assume Cedar Point attire will be acceptable.

I rode MaXair twice in a row when it opened, as a Red Cross rider. But that was in 2005 I think. Not sure I could marathon it now. I'm glad the event is full.
