TTD 2005 - Changes?

heres a change...they arn't making people wait around wasting their day by telling them they might open it...they just stright up put up signs sayin this ride is closed and dont even try and test it. $25 mil, and it sits there...

I'm not sure you really want to be posting here as the TL of a major ride... you'll get an unpleasant visit by silver tags.

The other people are full of crap, we know this. Let me and the other reality police take care of it. :)

What's the sense in testing your car if it is without a transmission or an engine? You know it isn't going to work. What about a radiator? It isn't going to work for long and you will cause more problems in doing so. I agree the ride is a major problem (okay, it's a pos), but saying that they aren't doing their best to make it work is probably not accurate.

understood...but its the begining of its 3rd year...3 years and its constant problem remains...im not saying that they dont try, just that i dont get how it can for so long.

I didn't want to start a new thread for this so I will just write it here. Before they took the trains off the transfers today, some of the crew members were measuring the length of the seatbelts. Is this something they do everyday? I have never seen this before, just curious.

Sounds like they were bored.

hey ohiostate like jeff said let people who have some clue take care of the people who are full of crap. by the way congrats on getting TL you will do a great job. who is ATL with the old TL being gone. by the way GO BLUE

I saw that too wing nut, there and millenium. The seatbelts look new too.

What is the major problem with TTD???

Sorry to drag this back up, but I thought it might be worth sharing. I noticed that in the last few weeks they've cut out the "are you ready for the tallest and fastest coster in the world" line from the Sunday Sunday Sunday spiel they play in the line. Just thought I'd share.

I noticed that as well. When I'm In line I like to sit there and pretend I'm following along with the spiel. It's a lot of fun especially when the line moves like ever 10 minutes. Good Point Chris.

I have seen a big improvement with the ride overall. I've gone to Cedar Point 7 times this year, and only 1 time have I heard the ride operators tell me while I was waiting that the ride is down due to technical difficulty. I know for a fact that the downtime this year is like 3 times compared to last years 10 times.

I noticed it too.
I had a feeling it was going to be the way they have it now. Though there really wasn't much they could of done to it to have changed it.....besides making a new spiel.:)

Next up is the sign!

BTW, you make a good point Shawn. When I went to the park last Wed, Dragster didn't break down AT ALL. No downtime what-so-ever.
I got on 3 times and boy did that line move quickly. Now I'm not afraid of waiting for the front or back. ;)

If you didn't know, the Sunday Sunday Sunday thing for Dragster skips the "are you ready for the highest and fastest coaster in the world!?" now.

Is there an echo in the room?

when i went to cedar point the other dya, i bought my ttd pic finally and it still says the worlds tallest and fastest coaster on the little back insert thing.

Cedar Point will eventually get the rest of the items that have "the worlds tallest and fastest" logo on it. One step at a time.

Be glad that you have something that still reminds you that it once WAS the tallest and fastest in the world.:)

Well when they change it next year they'll have something on that Billboard? Maybe they should add this....ARE YOU READY?! Heres another one.....ARE YOU READY FOR TOP THRILL DRAGSTER?!?!
