Saturday, June 22nd... Somewhat of a disappointing day.

The day actually started out great, but after it went downhill. Started at Magnum, walk on... Next went to Maverick, short wait for Maverick as well, maybe like a half hour. After that we did Mine Ride in another short wait (walk on). Next we did Gemini and pretty much walked on. After we did lunch at Gameday and the food was great. Perch was very good. So at this point things were going great. Short lines for a Saturday and it wasn't feeling as hot as predicted.

After this is when things started to go downhill. After lunch it started getting very hot so we headed to the water rides. Waited probably an hour for Shoot the Rapids. The capacity and line of this ride is awful. The line moves unbearably slow and they still are leaving at least one empty row on each boat. Also waiting in that line is terrible when it's 90 and humid. Finally got on and got stuck on the second lift for 5 minutes. At least we got our ride in because the ride shut down immediately after that.

Next we did Thunder Canyon and waited maybe 15. This line goes by very quick. Millennium was next and waited probably an hour and a half. Had a great ride as usual. After this we did Iron Dragon and waited 15. Alright ride as usual. After this we wanted a second ride on Magnum so got in line, waited 30 and ride shuts down. So we move to Gemini for the second time, waited around 15 and got on. So this is around 5:30 and little do we know this is our last ride of the day...

Go to Friday's for dinner and had a great meal as usual. Right after dinner we head to Gatekeeper (we wanted to save this for after dinner for shorter lines). Get in line, wait a half hour and notice very dark clouds coming. Thunder, lightning, and downpours begin. Everyone left from the que, runs to the gift shop waiting for it to stop. Once the rain stops they let the people originally in the line get back in. Dealt with an obnoxious couple spazzing about their spot in line. It was so ridiculous and immature. So anyways rain stops, rides open up... Except GK which is shut down for mechanical reasons. We stand there until 9:30 being the final 2 standing and the ride never opens up. Sat there for around a total of 3 hours.

Decide to hit Raptor before we leave but it had a 45 minute wait and we were tired and ready to go so we left.

Overall lots of breakdowns in the day and crappy weather. Hope my next trip is better.

And least you didn't get trapped in the flood in the back of the parking lot.. That would have made your day a lot worse

It was hot and crowded as the dickens yesterday!! I usually don't go on saturdays but I was in the area so I thought I stop in and look at the CP and LE Railroad engine house since it was open to the guests and get my commemorative pin. I had no expectations on riding any of the big rides figuring crowds would be heavy. I rode the train (of course). Then hit the Gemini and Corkscrew. Blue Streak line was too long. Then decided to do a few water rides since it was so hot. Did Thunder Canyon then walked over to Shoot the Rapids which had just closed. I think that was around 2:45. Decided to call it a day since I had plans in Akron around 5. The parking lot was pretty full as I was pulling out reminding me why I usually don't go on Saturdays. Guess I missed a pretty good t-storm!!

^How long was Blue Streak's line?

Posted time was 1 hour.

Whoa.

Yeah, um, just in general, don't go to CP on a Saturday between now and August 17th and expect it to be a great day --- although in this case, the severe weather did a number on Sandusky, not just CP per se....

4th of July(2012)sucked like your day, all rides kept breaking, lucky for us and our fast lanes, we rode dragster tip it shut down for the day, millenium shutdown way too much, still got to ride it 3 times! Lucky us! :) maverick 2 times, shutdown for the day to, magnum shutdown at 3pm raptor at 4pm, only ride that didn't stop was wicked twister, and like u, we got rained out. Hope u get to return to the point!
