Millennium Force Gets NEW Trains at Cedar Point!

[TTD03]

Well, it looks to me that Millennium Force got some new trains this year. Either new trains, or new covers, you decide. I personally think they are new covers but eh, you know. Tell me what you think. And I'm sorry to say, but credit TPR for photos.

Look around the park more too... lol

[TTD03]

^ Yea I need to look more, there's some new crap. But if they TOUCHED MY TTD, I WILL KILL THEM! JK.

So you want it to looks like it desperately needs paint still?

[TTD03]

Sure......

Wasn't it supposed to get a repaint this year?

[gouldy]

Looking at the gear in the first image, they've certainly just been refurbished as opposed to them being new trains. Nice, though.

Not refurbished... new. Also not the only ride.

What difference does the material make? Is fiberglass lighter/heavier than aluminium? Or is there another reason for the switch?

Well at the very least they must be second hand trains, or at least the gear is... those wheels look to have been in use for a good while!

And the other is....?

OtherS... Look around the park. CP did a TON this off season.

Was it magnum? Those train's were in pieces halfway through the year.
Anyway, from what I can tell they did this:
Rougarou
Hotel breakers
Land Clearing
Maverick restraints
Millenium trains
wicked twister midway
sweetshop
new coke freestyle places(One near mean streak and one near Rougarou?)
New beers
some new queue lines
Quaker steak
Beaver tails
Anything else I'm missing?

And coasterhero, fiberglass is heavier so it should run faster .

Nah, Magnums trains had a complete overhaul in 2013. You're missing Point Pavilion, Lakeside Dining room and pavilion renovations, and at least one more thing. But I like my job and don't want to announce anything the park hasn't. Sorry for vague responses.

I think what's unfortunate is that for all CP did over the off season, it did not translate to their opening day. Perhaps that should be a lesson in narrowing their focus leading up to opening day.

Most of the issues of opening day was not CPs fault... ie manufacturers not supplying parts on time...

Dude, I heard from someone who worked there that they're considering removing TTD due to maintenance costs.....not happy

^Um, ya, no. It's not going anywhere.

Forgot about that whole section whoops. Wouldn't anything unannounced be there already? Or are going to get something else this season.

Yeah TTD isn't leaving... at least anytime soon...

And I'm not sure.

Lol yeah TTD would have to cost several million annually before they'd consider its removal. It's an absolute icon. I doubt any of the B&M or Intamin coasters will be gone in fewer than 20 years, with exception to maybe Wicked Twister, but its footprint is so small that removal for another attraction would offer little benefit.

Yea TTD is a part of history. It isn't going anywhere for a long time.

repainted TTD trains (they were really bad with chips and pocks). They also have new bridgework between Snake River Falls and Maverick, refurbished and polished Judy(?) the blue train, cut down a bunch of trees near MF, between Corkscrew and Magnum (tractor advertisement area) Scalped the trees headed to Soak City to the trunks, replaced electric boxes on Iron Dragon, Maxair got a new queue, got rid of the planter/benches by Mean Streak, and got the cutest wet floor signs, messed up the tracer lights on Blue Streak's turnaround


Things they DIDn't do

take down the halloweekends ads from last fall XD

Like TTD03 is a big part of Coaster Crazy! I don't think CP plans will make him sad! No removal of TTD!

Has anyone seen the Quiz questions on FunTV at CP so far? They drop a teaser about 2017
