Opening Day -
2002
May 5, 2002
- a long awaited day - the opening of Wicked Twister and the start of
another season of summertime fun. Like expected the attendance was at
medium status - most likely due to that new thing on the beach (Wicked
Twister) and the weather was perfect "Cedar Point weather" -
84 degrees and sunny. Without farther writing here is the lowdown on the
rides and the new things for 2002:
-
Raptor: Average Wait: 1 hour - Was running wonderfully
and the paintjob it received last year still looks fresh.
-
Blue Streak: Average Wait: 10 minutes - A new
paint job really brightens up the ride - as for the ride - as usual
wonderful.
-
Disaster Transport: Average Wait: 5 minutes -
The ride has been reborn for 2002. As a guest enters the ride's queue,
they are given the chance to purchase 3d glasses( well-worth
it). The queue, which is now filled with some long-lost things
such as the "disaster posters" is in complete darkness
expect for the different color 3d lights. The ride it self is in
complete darkness except for the lift which also has the long-lost red
lights back.

Wicked Twister: Average Wait: 1.5 hours -
Read our full review here.
-
Magnum: Average Wait: 15 minutes - Still a
great ride but running a little on the rough side. Airgates have been
added in the station.
-
Millennium
Force: Average Wait: 1.5 hours - Hasn't quite woken up from the
offseason yet: only two trains are on the track, and it is still
running a little slow.
-
Mantis: Average Wait:
45 minutes - To much surprise the trim brakes have been turned
off making the ride one of the best!
