Cedar Point offers update on status of Millennium Force for Millennium Mania

Posted | Contributed by Jeff

Cedar Point issued the following statement regarding Millennium Force and Millennium Mania, a limited-ride event being held this week:

As you may have heard in news reports, due to necessary maintenance, Millennium Force is currently closed and will not be open for Millennium Mania on Thursday, Sept. 6. Its status for Friday, Sept. 7, is unknown at this time. For updates, please visit cedarpoint.com.
Cedar Point sincerely regrets this uncontrollable situation and is very disappointed that Millennium Force will not be available for a portion of this special event. To try to make it up to you, our valued guests, until Millennium Force is up and running for Millennium Mania, VertiGo, our brand new thrill ride in Challenge Park will be available for rides FREE of charge for Millennium Mania participants. Each ride is a $10 value. And as a special added bonus, Blue Streak will also be in operation.
Best of all, everyone attending Millennium Mania while Millennium Force is unavailable will receive a Millennium Force Boarding Pass, which allows you to enter through the exit and ride without waiting in line. This exclusive pass is valid for the rest of the 2001 season as well as through the 2002 season.
We are working feverishly around the clock to have Millennium Force back in operation as soon as possible. We hope you will come see us at Millennium Mania, and again, truly regret the situation. Thank you.

To piggyback on what chi-town said, I can offer a time (coming up) when an SF Park had (well will have) an event where a coaster is unavailable. For Coaster Celebration @ SFGAdv Viper will be closed as it has been all season. However, in its place for ERT, SFGAdv is opening the Twister (Huss Topspin), that was not previously available for ERT.

Take that for what it's worth.

It's true....It's DAAAAAMMMMN true!

Thought you might like to know... they gave the red train a little "push" and sent it over the hill today. They're busting their collective rumpshakah as we speak.

Jeff whats the odds of it opening by friday?

Official word from Cedar Point is that it isn't going to be open Friday. At least that is what is on their web site. They are unsure about it being open on Saturday too. We'll just have to wait and see. I, for one, will still be at Millenniumless Mania tomorrow :P

I don't see where there can be any complaints or comparissons, really. MM is almost a one of a kind event. Even if good parks had to survive off coaster people, they would do very little business. It's really those other patrons and people who walk around and buy drinks, souveniers, and candies instead of investing time riding with friends/family. CP just happens to attract enough enthusiasts from around the world, that they can offer times such as these, other than "private" stuff. Most stuff in the park is closed and everybody would love to be there, that can't happen (many) any other place(s).

To elevate CP to some special "where nothing goes wrong" park is not needed. People's opinions can be important, and can be heard. Stop and think, offer suggestions to the ACTUAL Six Flags, or whoever, park at the ACTUAL time of problem and don't take it home where you can make it into something bigger. Yes, problems happen, but I suspect not enough complaining into the right direction goes on.

I've never been to Cedar Point but would love to check it out sometime. Lucky for me though, I only live about 30 miles from Six Flags Magic Mountain in L.A.
