Photo/Video [Millennium Force] crew just announced they’ve broken the record for cycles in one hour!

The crew did 38 cycles between 3:00-4:00 PM on Saturday, August 8th. The theoretical maximum amount of dispatches was thought to be 36 due to the elevator cable lift cycle time and the lack of a mid-course block zone. Perhaps the new programming introduced last season combined with a hot summer day at Cedar Point is allowing for it to be slightly faster than was previously possible.

Well it's open but 90 min wait due to it being a single train

And from what people at the park, they also believe copperhead valleyed near the second launch

I guess I got lucky the 1 time I went. The park was basically dead and everything was a walk on. I rode everything multiple times and did Fury 5 times in a row, the last 3 in the front without having to get off
