TTD closing early

The time right now is 11:40 pm and it appears that dragster is already closed for the night with the station empty. I was just wondering if they close the line early so works don't have to stay all night or is their another problem with it.

Also I have been watching the web cams today and Dragster never really had a long line is was just wondering why. Thanks

Well I've seen on a few occasions were the line has been opened past 11 and almost to 11:30 PM. So, it must have went down for the night because of a problem.

At around 7-7:30 tonight, Dragster's entrance closed for the evening. The ride was having difficulties, but was still able to accomodate the remaining guests in line. I'd have to say it was running much like opening day, with "intermittent delays" between launches. I doubt the ride will be open for a day or so.

I was at the park today and got on Dragster. Waited 2 hours. The line did close early around 7:30 but it was understandable seeing as how the delays would come every 2 launches or so.

I overheard a few guests complaining about this on Thursday (the 25th). They saw the ride running but were mad because they couldn't get in line. I could understand why they were upset, but you cann't keep the ride operators and mechanics their until 3 in the morning.

Might as well get your Freeway pass thing for MF or something if they keep closing TTD early. :(

I was there that day and I dont have sympathy really for anyone who complained. Anyone at the park that day knew it was having its troubles (the flyer passed out at the gate warns of downtime before you even enter as it always does) and if you saw that line open, you knew you better get in it because it may not last all day. I managed to get two rides in on Dragster (my first two ever)Thursday and rode every other major ride multiple times that day, so if someone missed their chance Thursday, they didnt want a ride as bad as they thought. All you had to do was get in line when it was open. Plenty of oppertunities.

Think it'll operate full park hours in August?

Didnt happen with WT, I dont think it will happen with TTD.

Yeah, last year Wicked Twister closed about an hour early before the park closed every night we were there, I got to ride it 7 times in 2 days, and it was very fun...as well as all t he other ones, hehe

I doubt Dragster will be running "normally" for the next year! When I go in September I am hoping to ride it

As soon as the storm hit the ride was shut down for the rest of the night.

They even took in the signs that said "Top Thrill Dragster May Be Open Latter Today".

Has is run today (sunday)?

No it does not look like it will be running even the line that was forming earlier has disapeard.

On the Dragster status report it says that it will be down on the 5th. Hopefully it'll be back up on the 9th and 10th for me.
