I went two weeks ago and millenium was walk on. I rode it ten times in about an hour or hour and a half. got the biggest headache. anyway, TTD was 15 mins when i went, after it rained. I actually waited only 9 mins for one ride, but 15 was the average. headed up tomorrow, hopefuly see more of the same.
Last night (Sat.) we got in line for the Dragster at 7pm, and did not get on the ride until 10:45pm. They were having major problems with rollbacks. We finally got off of the ride at 11pm, having rolled back twice. Had it not broken down 2 times while waiting, we would have been on and off in 1hr 30min. Any of you guys know what the problem was with last night?????

More than the likely, the wind was probably a factor. Was it windy last night?

Does TTD open at the same time as the park opens or does it open later on in the day from your experiences in Halloweekends? I plan to visit the point for Halloweekends next Sunday and was wondering if I should go to TTD for my first ride or go to the more reliable MF...
Sat it was a little unreliable but it ran great today. Got 16 rides!

TTD: 78 & 2rollbacks
Today was one of those days I wish I had more time to spend at the park.. (EMPTY) My first wait for TTD was 1 hour. then after the park balanced out there was no ques filled at all. I rode it 3 additional times in only 1 hour. I could not believe it. Every Sunday for the rest of the season for me.
------------------
TTD rides =31
Time spent waiting for those rides= 47.5 hours.
MF=84
What are the lines like on Fridays?
Since I will be there this Friday, I was wondering
For those who went last Sunday, I would like to know how long the wait for TTD was cause I'll be headin up to CP this Sunday. Just curious....thx
Last Sunday 10 minutes for back seat, 30 minutes for front.

Waited about 40 minutes early in the day on Sunday (two breakdowns). Rest of the day the line looked about 20-30 mins barring breakdowns. We were going to ride again at the end of the day but the ride queue was closed before the park closed, so we were turned away :(
Oh well thats a good reason for me to go up for another weekend :)
I just wanted to say by looking at the webcam the line for Dragster looks completly full! And the parking lot looks really full too. If Dragsters lines is full, as it looks today, how long would it take for all the people to file through the line to get their ride? Just curious.
I'm hoping to make it to the point next week and want to make sure they still are giving out Freeway stamps? And if so does the line start to form for the stamps at 11am or 2pm? I don't if I'll ever wait 2 hours ever again after getting the stamp for that ride.

Has Sunday been the emptiest day lately? From the sounds of it, Sunday has been a very bare day. I'm going on a Wednesday and Thursday in a few weeks, how do you think the crowds will be then? Just curious, not like I can do anything about it.

Smoking Marijuana isn't a bad thing or even a good one, like everything else, its what you make of it.
I usually go every Sunday, and from what I have noticed, the crowds seem to be very minimum. I was there last night and yes, the TTD line was completely full with people standing along the black fence. Actually, besides Blue Steak & Corkscrew, most qeue lines were 75-100% full. In answer to Gomez, TTD stamps begin at 2pm, but it is wise to get there at 1:15-1:30.
Thanks JRics82, the reason I asked is because I only read about people waiting in the 2 to 3 lines for TTD and no one gets a freeway stamps.

I was there 2 Sundays ago (7/18) and the rides werent TOO bad. To be honest, the longest lines went like this...Mantis (1.5 hrs), MF (1 hr), TTD (30-45min) and WT (30min). The only wait where I felt like I was going to go insane was Mantis...all the other rides lines were moving right along. We went on TTD 3 times. Once at 9:15 (we stayed in the park) so we were on in about 15min, then we went on again at 11:30 (the ride was being fixed until about 11, then it opened again). We waited about 30min to get on it at that time and right when we got off the ride the crew said they needed 8 more people to ride in the last train of the night cause they couldnt shoot off a train half empty. My girlfriend and I GLADLY accepted the offer and off we went....2 rides on TTD all within 2 min of each other. What a rush! And, if anyone else was there they can testify to this...the trains were movin REAL fast! They hardly stopped at the top hat....they went right over....talk about negative g's!! WOW!!
First trip the the point: 5/29/03
MF: 2 Magnum: 5 Raptor: 1 Mantis: 1 (TTD was closed)
Second Trip: 8/17/2003
MF: 1 TTD:2 Magnum: 2 Raptor: 1 (plus others)
Well, Gomez, normally that is what I read too, but I figure if I can get the freeway, I will utilize it. However, I think it was on 7/11 when I was there and they were not giving out FreeWay. So, I asked one of the crew members, and they told me they weren't giving them out on that day. So, we decided to go get a bite to eat at Fridays, and when we came back, it closed, and closed for the rest of the night. So, sometimes FreeWay works, sometimes not. Just like they say "FreeWay is not a guarantee to ride," and I sure have experienced that! :)
