Steel Vengeance will return, but with one train

SANDUSKY — Steel Vengeance will return this weekend but will run with only one train while the manufacturer tinkers with the ride.Cedar Point's exciting new ride, which opened with multiple trains, was shut down for several hours on Saturday, the park's opening day, after a minor accident when two of the trains collided.The ride reopened Saturday night and also ran Sunday."Right now, Steel Vengeance will be running with one train while the manufacturer, Rocky Mountain Construction, makes adjustments to the ride," Cedar Point spokesman Tony Clark wrote in a Thursday post on the amusement park's official blog.Since the coaster won't be at full capacity, the park may have to go with special rules for the new ride. Steel Vengeance, billed as "the world's first steel-on-wood hybrid roller coaster to stand over 200 feet tall," has been attracting coaster fans who have to wait in long lines to try it."Since wait times for Steel Vengeance will be longer than normal, and to permit as many guests to ride as possible, we may institute a timed 'boarding pass' that gives you a time to return to get into the regular line. Note that this is not for immediate access – it only gives you a time to enter the line," Clark wrote."Going forward, if we implement boarding passes, we will notify you on our official Twitter, including the time they will be distributed. Boarding passes must be obtained near the ride entrance and are available on a first-come, first-served basis," he wrote.Clark shared more news about getting in line for Steel Vengeance. "Also, for now, we've removed Steel Vengeance from Fast Lane Plus. Keep in mind that you can still use Fast Lane Plus at many other attractions at the park, including Maverick, Top Thrill Dragster, GateKeeper and Valravn," Clark wrote. "But if you purchased Fast Lane Plus in advance of your visit, and have decided you no longer wish to use it, you may stop at any admission window prior to getting your wristband to receive a refund on your Fast Lane Plus purchase."Clark promised to issue new updates on Steel Vengeance as the park gets news from the manufacturer.Cedar Point was open only for the weekend last weekend, but starting Friday, it will be open every day.Cedar Point fans looking for the latest news should check @cedarpoint on Twitter.
