Cedar Fair units hit five-year high

Posted | Contributed by Jeff

While opening day crowds at Cedar Point on the Lake Erie shoreline were lining up for hours to grab their first Top Thrill Dragster ride of the season, Cedar Fair investors were the ones buckling up for the uphill ride. The units hit a five-year high on Friday. Along with the tax-advantaged partnership's generous 6.7% yield, ownership in the company hasn't been as wild as the rides at its amusement and water parks.

Sadly, the scalping legend is basically true, but it did not happen on Power Tower or at Cedar Point. It happened on a flat ride in an indoor amusement park.

Trim Brakes are very helpful.

Last year on July 5th, my wife and I were visiting Cedar Point. On our 2nd Ride of Magnum-XL in the front seat the trim brakes went out and we endured a very painful ride. Every hill threw us into the bar and when we pulling into the station they stopped the ride (another train was going up the hill). After about 5 minutes they reset the ride and we were let off in loading/unloading section. Due to the lack of trim brakes we both suffered bruises on the tops of our thighs were the lap bar kept hitting us. These bruises were evident for several days after our trip.

Trim Breaks are there both for your safety and enjoyment and I would never wish to have someone endure what we did on a coaster again.

You see, I love the ride more without trim brakes...especially Magnum. The turnaround is actually smoother, and the return airtime hills are so extreme! I get a little room betweem me and the bar so my legs don't get all banged up...there is a little give in it.
