You don't have to be at the park to compare the queue times if you have an Android device. In the developer settings, you can allow your phone to have a "fake GPS". You can download an app and set your phone's GPS location where ever you want. Then set the app to have your location in the Cedar Fair park and load the app. The cedar fair apps only use GPS to know that you are in the park. I use this method when I'm debating to head out to ride on an afternoon during the week. It works very well. I've also used it before to get check-in points for Bdubs, before they went downhill. You could use 4 accounts and check each day and after about 30 days, you'll have 4 free 20 wings platter. I have no idea if Apple allows you to do it. I've never been an iPhone guy.

Magnum's 3rd hill is the best airtime hill out of all the coasters in the world!

Bat is back in operation today with one train running.

Really glad The Bat is up and running. I don’t want to lose another awesome Arrow suspended coaster.

I rode The Bat tonight. Both trains were running and it was a walk on. Crisis averted I guess.

Didn't see an update on this...

I was at the park Sunday 7/24 (in the rain) and made a point of riding both trains. Both trains were operating, thoiugh they were running with very few passengers as by the time I got to it the weather had scared off most of the crowd. Someone had tried to tell me that the ride was running poorly ; I did not notice anything objectionable about the way it was running apart from the usual mind-numbingly slow trip from the transfer table to the station.

At least you got to ride. Had it been Cedar Point any rain would have had the entire ride lineup down for weather.

I just rode it as well over the weekend as well. Crowds were decent... maybe a 10-minute wait for it, but it ran the same as it always had in my opinion.
