It's an Intamin ride, it will open when it's done. Seriously, my sources at the Farm are refusing to give any kind of a date on completion. This is not unusual for these particular rides. Having had at least one reported incident on the launch system, DOSH is going to make them jump through many hoops.
Well, it’s been closed for nearly 6 months now. It closed shortly after Volcano at Kings Dominion reopened after a 2 week downtime period this summer.
Not a good year for Cedar Fair Intamin coasters at all.
Hey, let's ride (random Intamin coaster). What? It's broken down? I totally didn't expect that.
Based on reddit, it happened late July. Linked picture on imgur was uploaded August 1st. The OP suggests he has spoken to folks at the park, and states it might be February before it is open again.

Xcelerator started testing again yesterday! I can’t wait for it to reopen- it’s been far too long.
My personal theory is Xcelerator would have re-opened a while ago if TTD did not have its catch car fail.
As dumb as this might sound, I think CF basically switched the shipping address of the first catch car Intamin could ship them. Not sure why Xcelerator ended up even more delayed after CP closed for the winter, and I highly doubt we ever will know.
