Cedar Point to delay opening Shoot the Rapids water ride for two weeks
Cedar Point said the opening of Shoot the Rapids, the park’s new water ride, will be delayed two weeks, until Saturday, May 29, to complete construction of the ride and to conduct final testing and inspection of its operating systems.
“We are disappointed Shoot the Rapids will not be in operation on Opening Day,” which is this Saturday, May 15, said John Hildebrandt, vice president and general manager of Cedar Point. “But we are committed to opening a ride that is ready to thrill and delight our guests.”
The commissioning and testing process is already under way and the ride is expected to be in operation for the Memorial Day weekend.
Cedar Point is part of amusement park company Cedar Fair L.P.
