I'm going to start this thread now since it looks like we'll need one for at least a little while.

It seems El Toro will be down for a little bit. We'll post any official news we hear in this thread as it becomes available.

For now, this is all speculation only!

Can we call Cedar Point for this one?

Fjask · « **Reply #2 on:** June 26, 2006, 08:42:26 PM »

^Cedar Point doen't have a P&P, call Liseberg, they have one of these.

I hope whatever happened was not serious. Sounds like the Intamin curse is not only with the rocket coasters. $:-\$

Cedar Point DOES have an INTAMIN coaster with a lifthill cable....just an observation...

Fjask · « **Reply #4 on:** June 26, 2006, 08:50:11 PM »

But we don't know if the lift hill is the problem.

Might as well call both Cedar Point and Liseberg to be safe.

SilverBullet · « **Reply #5 on:** June 26, 2006, 08:52:29 PM »

Oh god. The park CAN NOT catch a break.

I just feel bad now. Hopefully this isn't serious.

WadeJ · « **Reply #6 on:** June 26, 2006, 08:53:03 PM »

LOL true

Although at this point, it doesn't appear to be anything horrible like we have seen with Kingda Ka. We have no idea right now - the ride could be open as soon as tomorrow. I just wanted our readers to be aware so they know before heading to the park

And thanks to Chuck for the first heads-up on this situation

Has this been a whole day thing?

Or was this a spur of the moment, bad bad thing?

PcMan · « **Reply #8 on:** June 26, 2006, 09:39:05 PM »

lucky I didn't go today I hope it's back up this week.
I want to use my 3 exit passes before they expire.

WHen it was running are they just using 2 ride ops to check the seats.
If so they need 4 ride ops with such a long train it's double Kingda Ka's

Bubba Z · « **Reply #9 on:** June 26, 2006, 10:16:17 PM »

^ No they had 4 people in the station doing a fantastic job!! I guess it doesn't matter how many people they have now if they can't send a train! Could it be the second train that's causing the problems, since it ran flawless with one?

ChuckR · « **Reply #10 on:** June 26, 2006, 11:38:59 PM »

Just got home, the ride was down the whole time I was there. This is speculation but I heard the ride could be down for 1-2 weeks. Today just wasn't a good day at the park.

Nozzy · « **Reply #11 on:** June 27, 2006, 12:00:35 AM »

While I noticed that it was down today, I did see one empty train run today during the evening. Hopefully this is a good sign.

I was actually just joking around but hey, either way

MRHSfalcon · « **Reply #13 on:** June 27, 2006, 11:21:44 AM »

The problem cant be that serious because they sent three trains through the course when i was leaving work at the park.

I knew you were joking, so I just added on to the joke to 'lighten' the situation.

An empty train running is definately a good sign.

Dubya91 · « **Reply #15 on:** June 27, 2006, 01:28:07 PM »

^ No it's not, that means everybody fell out!

WadeJ · « **Reply #16 on:** June 27, 2006, 01:46:22 PM »

Waiting for 100% confirmation but I hear it might be open again with 2 trains running

candc · « **Reply #17 on:** June 27, 2006, 02:07:47 PM »

Last Friday I went to the park super early and got right on El Toro (waited 15 minutes) and it was awesome! I did see the second train on the track, but not in use. Then I headed to Kingda Ka and waited over an hour to get on it - it was my first time! Amazing! Then did a bunch of other rides before a big thunder and lighting storm came and shut everyhting down for a half hour. The park cleared out a lot after that, as school groups left for the day. Went back and did Kingda Ka again (this time the wait was under an hour), then El Toro ended the night. :-) So I hope they've added the second train - that will speed up all the lines a little bit, though the employees are still quite slow in loading and unloading. They'll get the hang of it soon.

WadeJ · « **Reply #18 on:** June 27, 2006, 02:19:34 PM »

2nd train has been running since this past weekend

The issue here was with the entire ride being closed yesterday. We hear it is back operating again now though.

coastermom · « **Reply #19 on:** June 27, 2006, 03:19:56 PM »

does anyone know if it is operating with two trains or one ? That is after it was closed on Monday . Looking to try to visit after a day at HH either Thursday or Friday .

rjholla2003 · « **Reply #20 on:** June 27, 2006, 06:58:49 PM »

It was running today with two trains filled with very happy people. Dispatches were timely also. Hooray!

Are They running el toro in the rain? Just curious i realize for the potential for re-rides on days such as those we have been having.

rjholla2003 · « **Reply #24 on:** June 28, 2006, 11:21:23 AM »

Yeah, it has run in the rain.
