Janice Witherow, spokeswoman for the amusement park, said the coaster was revved up Thursday but cautioned that some more downtime is likely.

"We're telling our guests ahead of time that it is possible to expect some intermittent delays," she said.

The world's tallest, fastest roller coaster had been grounded since June 5 because of problems with its hydraulic-launch system that propels riders at 120 mph up a 420-foot track.

Engineers from the ride's maker in Switzerland had to be summoned to Sandusky to help make repairs.

The shutdown problem initially centered on a faulty valve that was soon replaced. Next an electrical problem with the complicated launch system kept the $25 million ride from firing off.

Then the ride was shut down completely on the same weekend that 2,500 thrill-seekers from around the world flocked to the park for the annual gathering of roller coaster enthusiasts.
