Those trims on Magnum were added early on, I think it was whenever they re-profiled the 3rd hill that they were added. Riding Saturday night, second weekend, in the rain with the trims off were some of the best rides I have ever had on Maggie.

I agree. I like Magnum when those trims are off. It's definatly better without them.

That sounds more like a trip report.:)
Is that not what you wanted? You want an all-around, general update for the entire park, right? Not some specific ride for which you have a fixation bordering on obsession? ;)

When I went to the park on Sunday TTD ran VERY well with no breakdowns or rollbacks. :)
Total Maverick rides for the 2007 season = 27

Mike, it's just fine. It just sounded like a trip report more than a Dragster report.
It's all good, it's all good.:)

Yeah, it kind of was. I was just jazzed to actually be at the park to provide one. Plus, it's just fun to rag on you. ;)

ttd was down tuesday night due to "mechanical reasons" but ran good all day wednesday till i left at 6
TTD ran beautifully on tuesday until it brokedown in the late afternoon. i couldn't believe it because when i've gone to ride it previous years, it was down at least every 20 minutes. i'm glad CP has gotten it right.
Take a long hard look at the calendar.......Looks like they have more problems than just getting the ride correct. Coincidence?
However, for the record I love TTD.

Hey Coastern3rd and Dj why not wait a mintue and take a look at this and tell me Im not listening to anyone.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v175/Dragster420/log.jpg
Where have I said that Dragster has been running flawlessly? I've said "good" and "great" but not flawlessly. I might say flawlessly about a day but not about how it's been running so far this year. You guys are acting silly.
P.S.- Thank you Mark Small. That kind of input is valued.

I went yesturday and it ran great. It rained around 6 but it opened back up after the rain stopped. I got 3 rides out of the day so I bumped my ride count to 120. I got 3 rides on Millennium as well.

I'm back from my trip! I was at the park June 28th & 29th. Dragster ran PERFECTLY my whole visit, except for that storm TTD mentioned above. I got a total of 3 rides for my whole trip, and it is now my favorite coaster. :)
EDIT: Yeah sorry for typo, I never do that.

I was there on Wed (6/28) as well. Just went for a few hours after work. It was still raining when I got in the park, but it blew over fairly quickly.
Got in the line outside the entrance for TTD and waited for it to reopen. Line moved pretty quickly, so after that ride, I got a few swings in on Skyhawk, then came back to TTD to finish the night. I ended up getting a front seat ride with a kid that had never ridden it before.
It was a great midweek break from a crazy week at work. The rain cooled things off and cleared the crowds.
Next trip will be Sat. Jul 8. Taking my 10 yr old niece for her first launch on TTD!
One of my 3 rides Wednesday was in front and I think I'm going to wait for the bugs to clear up before I ride front again. And I'm thankful I wore my sunglasses because me and my friend were covered in bugs. Our faces, shirts, arms, hands, hair..... mouths.:)

TTD 120mph where you wearing a TTD hat by any chance? If so were you using the resort gate? *** Edited 6/30/2006 7:07:22 PM UTC by CP4eva'04***

101 on Magnum and counting...
I was wearing my Dragster hat (as I do every day and every trip) but I was at the front gate. There were a few others I had seen that had Dragster hats on. It was probably one of them.

Well, the ride seemed to run pretty well today, although when I left around 7 I think it was down for maintenance, but I wasn't paying much attention.

TTD I think I saw you at the front gate. You were like the very first in line all decked out in TTD gear. I didn't wanna go up and be like "HEY ARE YOU THAT KID FROM POINTBUZZ?!" because it might've been some random person, lol. Were you the first in line for TTD that morning too? I got in line at about 9:45 and was way back by the loading platform area.
