  1. I would think anytime it rains, all of the rides would shut down....big safety issues!!


  2. I don't think any rides stay open.

    Last year we went and it rained for a few minutes, and even one of the spinny kiddy rides closed.

    The dragster opened right after the rain stopped after they tested it (the carts went backwards a few times but we still got to go on)

  3. i go to cedar point every year the only one that stays open in rain is disaster transport it is one of the world only indoor roller coaster.

  4. If there is any danger of lawsuit then they do not stay open.

    That applies to trips/slips/falls as well as lightning strike.

  5. well one time i was there it was sprinkling and raining a little and most of the rides stayed open except the dragster. i remember riding the raptor and there were no lines b.c it was a crappy day and we rode in the front and it hurt really bad b.c of the rain hitting my face and stuff. it was like a million bee stings over and over.

  6. This is from their official websites:

    "Rides will close due to weather conditions, particularly rain, high winds and/or lightning. A specific answer as to which rides close or remain open is not possible because varying degrees of inclement weather cause different effects on different rides. Those rides affected the most are the roller coasters and the high rides. Cedar Point makes every effort to reopen the rides as quickly and safely as possible after the adverse weather conditions cease.   Sorry, no rainchecks or refunds.

    Generally, the following weather conditions will affect the listed rides and attractions:

        * HIGH WINDS - These rides MAY close depending on wind speed and direction:   Demon Drop, Gemini, Giant Wheel, Magnum XL-200, Mantis, maXair, Mean Streak, Millennium Force, Power Tower, Raptor, RipCord, Sky Ride, Skyhawk, Snoopy Bounce, Space Spiral, Top Thrill Dragster and Zoom Flume

        * ANY PRECIPITATION - These rides WILL CLOSE:  4 x 4's, Challenge Raceway, Demon Drop, Giant Wheel, Raptor, Top Thrill Dragster, Wildcat and Woodstock Express.

        * STEADY RAIN - All rides listed under ANY PRECIPITATION and the rides listed below will close:  Calypso, Corkscrew, Disaster Transport, Gemini, Iron Dragon, Magnum XL-200, Mantis, Matterhorn, Maverick, Mean Streak, Millennium Force and Snoopy Bounce.

        * HEAVY RAIN - All rides listed under ANY PRECIPITATION or STEADY RAIN and the rides listed below will close:  Blue Streak, Junior Gemini, maXair, Mine Ride, Monster, Ocean Motion, Power Tower, Sky Ride, Skyhawk, Snake River Falls and Wicked Twister.

        * LIGHTNING and SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS

          All rides will be closed during the severity of the storm and will start to reopen as soon as the storm or lightening passes.

    Please remember, it is not possible to specifically state which rides will be closed at a specific time because the varying degrees of inclement weather cause different effects on different rides."
