Cedar Point | Steel Vengeance | RMC I-Box (Mean Streak Conversion)

Here she is

I've heard that the ride reopened about 10 minutes before closing at midnight tonight.
 
Its a picture of the DRIVE TIRE that fell from the brake run. It DID NOT FALL FROM THE TRAIN for the last time. The ride is back open. FFS.

Ah right. Thank you for the clarification @CoasterMac305; from accounts on the internet, I thought it fell from the train itself. Now I've discovered that, the ride's quick reopening makes much more sense...

Did they just put the drive tyre back into place? And how the hell did it fall off in the first place? Come on RMC...

To be honest, with the changes they've made to try and push the ride to 3 train operations, a hardware failure isn't completely surprising or unexpected. I'm sure Cedar Point is aware and while not happy, fine with it being a simple drive tire instead of a running wheel.

I'd be interested to hear how you get on - I'll be there in a month, so would be good to have an idea of the best plan.

The moveable lockers work pretty well, apart from the fact you often have to type in your code two or three times to get them to re-open! However some locker locations are often full, we found this on a day when the park was very quiet, and the suggestion of the staff was to go and find the nearest locker location (not ideal when you want to go on a specific coaster).

You should be able to fit two or three bags in each locker though, so if there is a group of you the cost isn't so bad.

Oh, and Steel Vengeance is awesome! :D

The lockers on-location were actually quite easy to use and I think MAY have been a bit overblown a bit by enthusiasts as it's a mere 2 dollars. I get why they'd be upset about the fee but @Hixee brought his SLR with him in the park and we had no worries grabbing a locker before any of our rides this past weekend rather quickly and easily.
 
For me, the singular $2 is not bad. If you times that by how many creds and rides there are which need lockers, it becomes ridiculous.

That's where the all day moveable locker for $10 comes in. We made us of these over both days at Cedar Point as well as equivalents at Six Flags Great Adventure, Kings Dominion and Busch Gardens Williamsburg. For some reason though, Kinds Island do not offer an all day moveable locker which was frustrating.

Bag policies in the US are quite frankly bizarre though.

Only 3 at this point as the rest have bins.. so TTD, MF, and Steel Vengeance? If you marathon, you can just use the same locker. While I understand what youre getting at, logistically having experienced this with Hixees camera a few days ago, it's not as annoying (even if it can get a bit pricey if your constantly only riding these rides on and off throughout the day) as you'd think.

You say that, last year they had bins on all the other coasters but were refusing to let people use them and making them take their belongings on the rides with them - @Ben didn't this happen on Valravn?

If that’s the case, that sucks. I think it also depends on what you bring. If you have a suite case :p

I’m basing this purely on a tote bag enough for an SLR. I don’t carry much with me so some I may be out of the know but I got most of the policies from Hixee a few days ago.
