Yeah...as long as I'm not the one that said it, I should be ok...they had to send away for a new one, which has to come from the land of banks, cheese, and cuckoo clocks.

It's been a long, tiring week. I think I left a t off in there. Oh well. Funny typo.

Hopefully it'll be good as new in 10 days when I head up there on the 20th. That was one of my top 5 rides whenever I go up; the lines are usually 15 minutes long. That may change now though with maXair over there now.

Based on the information I know thus far, I can offer a fairly educated guess* of being fixed between Friday the 15th and Tuesday the 19th (the sooner the better).

*Disclaimer: This is my own prediction based on facts that I have myself, and is no way connected to estimates given by my supervisors.

You should look up "status quo" if you intend to use it again.

So the Dragster actually stopped at the top???

What did they do about getting it over???

Maintenance pushed it over the top.

When I went on my Cedar Point trip last summer, my firneds and I were riding Wicked Twister and we got stuck going forward just outside of the station so we were hanging over the sand. Maybe this problem is related.

Not necessarily. That's where the train will e-stop (usually), and that can be caused by a bird flying through the station and tripping the sensors.

Well Whatever it was we were stuck for about 10-15 minutes. We almost didn't make it in time for are usual last ride of the night on Top Thrill Dragster. I hope Wicked Twister is back up for when we go on the 17th(night), 18th, and 19th of July.

Whats the big reason that Wicked Twister is down?

Thanks for the information skifan23.

Does Anyone have any pictures for Top Thrill Dragster getting stuck at the top ever???

There is a video of TTD stuck with riders at www.xtremecoastin.com ... but this is not what this thread is about!

The big reason WT is down: bholcomb said it on page 1. ETR: in the range of 7/15 - 7/19. As an employee, I don't feel comfortable stating anything too specific, other than that bholcomb was right.
