Chiricahua National Monument in southeast Arizona is now a national park. Boundaries stay the same, and no entrance reservations are required as of October 2026, one outlet reports.
Park calendars, apps and social posts each tell part of the story, so confirm a ride's status in more than one place before you travel.
Cedar Point's Millennium Force reopened Oct. 17 after a part fell on Oct. 16. Here is what the state and the park have said, and what is still under investigation.
Tioga Road (Highway 120 through Yosemite) closed Oct. 21 at 5 p.m. with no reopening estimate. Check the park's current conditions before you drive.
The Sandusky, Ohio, coaster reopened Saturday night, Oct. 17, after inspections, the day after a small bracket fell. No one was hurt, the park said.
A bracket fell from a Millennium Force car into a guest area at Cedar Point. Reports now say the coaster is running again, but check the park's status before you go.
