Yeah I was wondering if anyone heard about the breakdown with Millennium Force and when will they have it running again....

I really need to know this b/c my family and I are going to go on Friday if it will be up and running on Friday but if not, I only go to CP once a year and it might as well be when MF is open, so acn you please tell me if you have heard anything about when it will be open and if it will be open by friday!

G-G-G-roubert! Yeah I run distance in track and cross country but who says i cant do anything else? Huh, yeah thats what i thought. I'll take you one!

Rides break down all the time. Get over it. The ride is an intamin. You may be lucky, maybe not. Tough luck.

Scott a week ago my car broke down, but I figured I would not make a thread because NOBODY cares.

I visited on Monday May 23,2006 and they said it was broken down on Friday and they were waiting on a part. You can call the park before you visit from out of state.

It was the cable for the lift that broke again. The timetable that I heard was somewhere between 3 days and 3 weeks. Good luck.

And yes, rides break down. That was actually something that I was thinking about while I was driving home tonight. You can't be disappointed if something is down because it is just something that happens.

Where did you hear it was the cable? You wolud think they would have an extra one on hand or repair these things before the season every few years things need replaced. When did it break down?

I think it broke down last saturday, it should be up when the park opens today, and it wasnt the cable it was a gearbox that blew and they had to import one from Intamin...

Ah. I heard cable. Sorry.

coasterwom, sometimes things just break. It happens. Cars breakdown. Planes breakdown. Roller coaster breakdown. You can do all the checks that you want, and sometimes stuff just happens.

Hercule's right. There's nothing you can do if a roller coaster has a breakdown. Top Thrill Dragster broke down on me a lot when I went to Cedar Point last summer & I didn't ride it over the two-day trip, but oh well. I still had a great time at CP anyway. Just because you're family's going to Cedar Point on Friday doesn't mean that the park's thinking, "Oh my God! CCTrack's family's going to our park today. We've got to open Millennium Force before they arrive." You can might as well wait a lil bit longer to go to Cedar Point if the only reason you're going there's just to ride Millie.

I was just asking to see if anyone knew if it would be up on Friday, some of you act like i was crying because it was down, I just wanted to know if it was broken down because I wasnt going to go if it was b/c i only go once a year and i might as well go when it is running, as it turns out i went yesterday and it wasnt running but i had a good time anyway....

I think people are mad at me for trying to defend coasterwom...I mean seriously why get mad and all defensive just because I asked and hoped that a ride would be running when I went. Thanks D3ath Cab

Most of you guys are assholes here. All the guy wanted to know was the MF broken down when he was going to go there. Not a hard question if you didn't know you should of said anything. You guys need to stop bullying everyone you don't like.

Taylor don't use cuss words outside of the forum of namelssness.

We aren't getting on him just because of this it is manly from all the other things he was doing.

BTW when do we play softball tonight.

I wouldn't consider myself an asshole. I was being honest with him. This thread was pointless, how should we have known? Besides, I didn't even think anyone was that rude in this thread.

If you didn't know just don't say anything. I would of ask that question here because most of the time someone on this site would know.

Scott you said
"Rides break down all the time. Get over it."

"no cctrack, we are not mad at you because of that. You and coasterwom are just morons."
I guess that isn't be rude?

Just so everyone knows MF is now up and running. The motor died and they got a replacement for it but it was faster than the old one so the computer program wasn't in sync. They had the original programmer fly in from Swizterland Friday morning to fix the programming and it was up Friday afternoon. CP was nice enough to give ERT on it till 1 am for Coastermania.

I may sound rude, but everything I've said is true, I have been putting up with coasterwom/ cctrack crap for weeks now. This site has been putting up with this type of crap for years. You obviously don't stick around enough to get annoyed with these 2 idiots.

Thanks for the update loriu.

Scott has it right here. Any regular here can tell you how annoying coasterwom and CCTrack have been lately, and we are tired of having to sift through their crap in order to get to the good discussions we have here. And while I will agree that this thread was fairly harmless, others by this poster have been much worse. Besides, a better location for this thread would have the the Trip Reports and Tips forum, imo.

That's why I don't even post here on TPC anymore. Those two (mostly coasterworm) are getting on my last nerves & I'm just going to ignore them. Also, we need to lighten up this forum more with some fresh coaster ideas to make it more lively.

I visit this site every day. I just chose not to comment on everything. I have been a member for a couple of years. So I think I have been around. Also I think that is a rude comment Scott.

Oh no, you think my comments are rude, how will I ever survive

As I stated earlier, I may have been rude, but everything I have said is true.

BTW taylor, I doubt that you visit this site every day. You have gone months without posting at all.

As I said, I doubt it, but she still could. Anyhow, I'm done here. This thread has no point, CCTRACK has already visited CP. Case closed.
