Things have to be getting better at the point.

Based on what I've been seeing on the cams of funcoast.com, it looks like things are getting better at CP. In contrast to the downtimes and overall shut downs over this past weekend.

At 6:00 MF was sending 1 of it's 3 cars up the lift hill every minute and a half. That's 2.5 times faster than last year when I was there.

TTD launching it cars up every minute or so, haven't seen any downtime yet.

Maxair was running :)

Skyhawk is not :( Any word??????

Mantis every 2 minutes.

Raptor every minutes.

WT every 2 minutes.

Hopefully things will be perfect for the 17th, 18th and 19th. Whoo Hoo.

Was anybody there today? If so...let's here it, or should I say read it.

P.S. Sorry about proping funcoast but I think they have some pretty nice cam shots.

I was at the park today, it was amazing. No lines, TTD was only about a 10 minute wait along with MF. Everything was running smoothly all day. Got three laps on TTD, MF, and Raptor. 1 on gemini, magnum, mean streak, blue streak, iron dragon, Disaster, and Wicked Twsiter. Got 3 on Mantis too. They were running Mantis like crazy today, props for the crew.

AWESOME!!!

Sounds like you had a great day.

Dragster's running smoothly, wow that's soooo what I've been saying all off season!!:)

Hey TTD 120mph, you finally got your coveted rollback as I can see in your signature.

Ohhh yeah.

And to make things even better, it was the first train of the season..... I mean come on, you cant get better than that!!:)

Yeah no rollbacks today on Top Thrill lol, it was running so good.

No rollbacks?? Except for first thing this morning, it was open before 10. I was surprised, the trains were launching full, and they were not making it, so they kept taking people out of it, and closing off lines as the station was full angering a lot.

I love it when I'm right. lol:)

Just kidding, I know we still have the rest of the season to see how it runs.

Yeah i didnt get there until 11:45

TTD had a few issues today. Around noon I was in the station and the trains weren't parking in the load and waiting block. It was down for 15-20 minutes and delays were still were minimal. One thing great is that the launch system was running better than the blocking system. The first train launched before the second train got out to the waiting block. I got 3 rides on it and was pleasantly surprised at the interval between launches. TTD is having a great start to the season.

I've said this already in another thread. As long as oil and cables don't destroy everything in the hydraulic room (like last Sept. & Oct.) we'll be fine. :)

went there yesterday and leaving in 1.5 hours to go today. Yes it is 730 but im not good with hotels.

Well anyway TTD has many rollbacks between 945 and 11. Which is still better then last year. And no breakdowns yet. :D

Also Maxair was down yesterday with braking problems still. its funny to watch because after the ride it just keeps on swinging for bout 10 minutes.

Unbelieveable.

Im so happy my wife and I decided to stay on Monday. At 5:00, we waited 5 minutes to get on MF...12 minutes for multiple front seat Dragster rides (which was running perfectly all day, by the way).

I do have one question, though...which may sound a bit odd...but perch sandwiches?? Where were the perch sandwiches? I asked every employee I could find and they all looked at me like I was crazy when I mentioned thw word "perch". Im assuming this is something that will be worked into the menu a little later in the season?

I bought perch on Opening Day at Mr. Potato, which is across from the Aquatic Stadium in the Wicked Twister midway.

Ah hah....finally....thank you Pete!

Burger Patio is also supposed have perch. It's not a sandwich, however ... at least not at Mr. Potato. Didn't get to check out Burger Patio.

I thought the Transport stand was also supposed to have it....they just gave me a very odd look, and told me to go to Bay Harbor to get fish. Next time Im up at CP ill check out the above places.

But, how was the perch? Good? Bad? Or somewhere in the middle of the two?

MrScott

My first impression was that it was good, but not "DeMore's" good. I'd get it again.

It is a perch sandwich with fries at Burger Patio for 7.49. The sign said perch basket with fries, so whether they were supposed to put the bun on it or not I don't know but they did yesterday.
