Will you ride Shoot the Rapids if it open back up?

How do you know this Mr. Cedar Point?

A friend that works at the same place. Her sister works at CP and told her. SKYHAWK will stay. I hope she is right that the Skyhawk will stay. StR isn't that great water ride for me.

He doesn't know anymore than you and I know whats going to happen.

Is this where Lemon Chill guy comes in?

Why would they demolish the ride? Even if the lift hill has a serious engineering flaw that would require a redesigned lift hill, I would think they would replace the mechanicals and keep the rest of the ride to get a return on investment.

As much as I hate STR, it should sadly re-open eventually. And I will probably ride it again when I have nothing to do and the lines are too long for everything else. I have always had a hatred for STR mainly because I loved a former CP water ride... I think you can guess which one.

I was at the park yesterday and it looked like they were putting water back into StR.

I wouldn't read to much into water being put into the ride though. If it is fixed, here is still testing and inspections that need to happen. And there is only about a week and a half left of this season for this ride. As others have said it's done for this year.

(and I would ride it next year, I just wouldn't be one of the first though...)

I believe it will open, but maybe ony for the last few days. Why would CP put the water back in to it if it was not going to re-open. I'm pretty sure that they take the water out during the off season anyway (not positive on this just guessing) so there would be no point in re filling it if it was not going to open. Any testing and inspection could wait until the spring.

STR runs year round. It doesn't close after Labor Day. They adjust the elements when it's cooler.

I went to halloweekends yesterday and the chains aren't there so could this be a sign?

If you mean the chains around the observtion deck and lockers area I think they've been gone a couple weeks already.

Yeah are you talking about the chains on the lift hills or the chains that were around the ride entrance?

Hell yes. The chances of dying in a permanent American amusement park are infinitesimally small. And, if you get injured, cha ching!

Btw, it's a fun ride as far as water rides go. Of course, I was never part of a commercial shoot. Though, I did accidentally bump a guy on Friday night holding a camera for his family. My 15 minutes has started baby!

Yes, I will ride it.

Well said Scottyf! I feel pumped up everytime I hear someone say they like this ride. So many people on here dislike Shoot the Rapids. But yeah, I will be back in line when Shoot the Rapids opens back up.

Have you ever been on a 1001 Nachts? What are your feelings on that ride?

Also, how do you feel about fences?

I've never been on that ride, but it looks cool. I would ride that. Fences don't bother me as long as the ride is fun.
