2003 - Top Thrill Dragster - (5/27/03) Several readers reported in last night that Dragster broke its launch cable sometime Monday evening. It’s not known how long it will take Cedar Point to reopen the ride, but if they have a spare cable on site it could reopen as early as today, assuming there was no other damage. Another interesting item about Dragster is that they have removed the fake engine and tires from the back of all six trains. One reader caught up with the park’s head ride guru, Monty Jasper the other day who said that they were just “evaluating the ride” and that it was not a weight issue. He did seem to indicate that they would like to address the capacity issue by adding another row of seats if possible. No firm word on this however.

Dies war auch die Info, die ich erhalten habe von Angestellten des Cedar Points, da ich am 27. im Park war und den Riesenfrust erleben musste. Den ganzen Tag herrschte Aufregung und die Arbeiter schienen etwas ratlos. NBC war vorort, erboste Besucher machten einen Sitzstreik aber abends um 5 kam das entgültige Aus, nachdem man den ganzen Tag vertröstet wurde.

Habe einige Fotos, muss diese aber erst verkleinern.
