Thank God that Panda Express' lease ran our and Six Flags decided to put a Chop Six in.  It has always been torture smelling the food and not having it on the meal plan.



The kids wanted to go ride Boomerang but it turns out the ride valleyed between the second lift and the loop and they were evacuating riders. 

To those who don't know what happened is it didn't have enough speed to make it back through the loop and came to a stop here.  There is a nice winch and cable built into the second lift to pull it up so it can be sent back around into the station but it takes some time to do that so the park takes riders off instead of making them wait.



For some reason everything was breaking down at once as right after seeing Boomerang down it seems that Pandemonium had shut down.  Again this is no big deal as the rides computer sensed a car was somewhere it shouldn't have been on the track and as a result it stopped all cars on the various brake runs around the ride.  Most of the time this is caused by a sensor failure and the computer running the ride does what it is programmed to which is to keep everyone safe.  If you ever see those reports on the news that "Coaster X was stuck on the lift hill" it is a situation like this and it was just a slow news day and they want to be sensationalist.



Taking a look up at The Boss this will be a different view next year.



The Speed-O-Drome Go-Karts are finally being removed.  Somewhere on this site is where the new for 2020 Catwoman's Whip ride will be. 

Catwoman's Whip is a ride similar to a Skyscraper upcharge attraction found at places like the Branson strip.  It is basically a super sized Ferris Wheel from hell where you are able to flip.  The one I rode at Cedar Point scared me enough that my "colorful expletives" could be heard all across Cedar Point.  This one will seat four times as many people and will be a wonderful addition to the park.
