Was at the park on Thursday and even though it was kind of rainy all day every ride opened at one point during the day with the lone exception being Rougarou. Is there a problem with it? The other Coasters ran most of the day even through some Heavy rain.

Perhaps it was facing issues that day. I haven't heard of it having perpetual issues.

It had a fair bit of downtime on opening day as well. Keep in mind, the ride now has one additional moving part (the floor) that has to remain functional for the ride to run. With Banshee, B&M appears to have moved away from dropping floors on their Inverts, but for a floorless, you really don't have a choice.

Certainly a far cry from the days when B&M was the "tried and true" manufacturer with standard lift chain and not much else!

I heard the que was flooded.

Apparently not with people.  

Was it a short wade?

When i was up there Memorial Day Dragster, Raptor, and Gatekeeper were down, Millennium Force had a pretty healthy line.

Rougarou, right across from MF was basically walk on.

 

JMO the ride experience really hasn't changed except your sitting now instead of standing (I know, brilliant observation )

I like the stand up trains better. Don't think it was enough to draw a bigger crowd to the ride.

 

By the way, love the drummer guy, looks like Pac-Man.

We were there Thursday and Friday (July 9 and 10) and Rougarou was not running Thursday. During our travel there were a lot of standing water along Route 6, and Cedar Point Drive looked higher than normal. I would not be surprised if water was in the queue. We got 7 Millennium Force rides during the evening ride event. More riders than last time.

Understand that Rougarou even though a floorless and is similar and tried/tested in several areas, still has many unique things about it. Some things on this ride aren't how other floorless models operate or were built. This isn't a plug & play modification with new trains. Many things had to happen to be where it is today.
