Top Thrill Dragster - # Current Trains???

I will be at the park next weekend (May 31st, June 1st) Just curious at how mant trains TTD is currently running. Is it still the original 2 as it was on opening day? I hope not. Any info would be great.

There were three on opening day: Blue, Red, and Green. I don't believe they are running all 6 trains yet (yellow sitll missing) but all of the trains have 5 cars on them. :)

I was there Friday and waited 3 hours. There was 2 breakdowns while I was in line too. Oh well Millenium Force broke when i was in line that day too. So the wait will be at least 3 hours is my guess. And 5 trains we running.

As has been stated on GTTP today.. 5 trains running with the gold train in the transfer area.

I can't really say what the line was on Friday, since every time we found ourselves in the area, the ride was broken down. On Saturday, the ride was down in the beginning, and the line, which was further than the "200 feet to entrance" sign, was 5+ hours at 10:45. The people who waited in line then ended up getting on the ride in 2 1/2 hours, since many people began to leave the queue. We returned to the entrance at 11:50, and the line started on the infield. When we asked how long the line was, we were told 3 1/2 hours, but if it rained, it would be longer. Since there was no rain, there was no downtime, the ride luckily didn't experience any problems, and we only spent 1 1/4 hours before getting on. Also, the slicks which were missing on Friday returned on Saturday.

brian017 - is that why the line for MF was so long? We spent 1 3/4 hours waiting in line at dinnertime.

I read somewhere that the yellow train is back and they have all six trains again. Hope this helps you all out there.

Im trying to figure out how to aviod a 4 hour wait in the morning, I must need to get there at 8am!

Is the park still opening to all passholders and the public at 9:30 or earlier?

Gold train was nowhere to be found on saturday, but was on the transfer track on sunday. There are no Cedar Point or Top Thrill Dragster decals on the train yet, and I don't believe the tires were installed yet on the back. It did not look ready for guests.
