Cedar Point has announced that the opening of Shoot the Rapids will be delayed until Saturday, May 29. The park sent an email to members of the media this morning cancelling Friday's scheduled media preview for the new water ride.

Hope that date sticks. We made plans to head up there on the 30th a few months back.
My, my, my....how times have changed. This past decade at Cedar Point has taken the park from being the best in so many regards down to they can't even get their rides open and working correctly on time. I dare say Six Flags has gotten their act together better than Cedar Point at this point......who would ever have thought that day would come????
"Hello, Q Funding...we have a problem in Sandusky!"
I would not likely peg the blame on Cedar Fair beyond their recurring insistence on using Intamin.

No one wanted to hear it though.
Interestingly, over the past 5 years, I've seen visits to SF parks feel more like visits to CF parks and vice versa.
In all fairness though, I think it says more about how far SF has come than how far CF has fallen.
(sorta wandered onto a sidetrack there)
The water has only been in the pools for a few days now, I would guess they found a problem while testing.
Rides are never the same on paper as they are in real life.... ask any engineer.
It was really a rough winter in Ohio this year, too. Lots of cold, lots and lots of snow.
