Shoot the Rapids?

Yes. And please do them in that order in case I happen to want to ride Millennium Force that day, too.

You can ride with me that day if you happen to come across me. I promise I won't talk your ear off about Shoot the Rapids. Lol

That'll be fine.
But I was mainly thinking about wet seats.

Anybody watching the cameras today at Cedar Point? Very nice angle of Millennium Force, Shoot the Rapids, Skyhawk, Cedar Creek Mine Ride, and Maverick.

Yes, that is one of my favorite webcam angles.

Is STR running? Has it been having problems this season so far?

I rode twice on Monday. It was a decent wait both times (about 30 mins). Not because the line was long though - more likely because it runs two less boats than it was designed to run, seats two less people in each boat than it was designed to seat, and the ride time is twice as long as it was designed to be.

I'd say it's running as good as any other 11 million dollar log flume.

In my opinion, Shoot the Rapids has been running great this season! You should definitely ride it! ;)

Shoot the Rapids? Why do you people hate it so much?

From my observation, it potentially could have been a spectacular ride, if anyone other than Inatamin had built it. Instead they have a cobbled up mess that probably never be completely right until the decision is made to do it over completely. That may not happen for a while, as I don't know for sure if litigation is involved.

I can confirm what Shawn said, STR is running great this year.

It went down 3 times while I was waiting for it on CoasterMania weekend. I think that was enough Shoot the Rapids for me for the next 3 years.

It was not running tonight. I'm guessing weather related as SRF wasn't running either.

STR may have not come out the way we had wanted but at least it's not an eye sore of a mess like Disaster Transport was!

Sorry Exit English. They should suspend me for a couple days.

I too agree that anyone other than Intamin would have been a great idea, actually I wish Intamin never built anything at Cedar Point due to how horrible they are. After all Millenium Force, Maverick and Dragster are all horrible rides that no one likes...

Yes, it's slow and had more than it's fair share of issues, but STR will always hold a special place in my heart as it is my "claim to fame" on the CP website...
