So my family and I all went to Cedar Point on "Whirlpool Day". We stayed at Camper Village from Friday night to earlier today when we left. We went to the park on Saturday. I was kind of worried that it would rain on Saturday after seeing the weather on television.

So we woke up early on Saturday morning, got dressed, got tickets, and went in the park for our early entry. We walked towards the front of the park to ride Raptor. Raptor was having a few mechanical problems, but we stayed in line (We were very close to the front). Soon, they let us go to the lodaing station were we decided to wait for the front row. The front row is awesome! Everything about Raptor is already awesome, but when you ride in the front, it "boosts" the fun to an even higher level! After that came Calypso. Next, we went over to maXair, the line was long but it didn't take very long. Got seat 2! Then, we got off and went to Wicked Twister. Got on that one also pretty quickly and easily (That launch never gets old!). Then we were going to ride Disaster Transport, but we saw that it wasn't going to open untill 11:30 AM. We decided to stroll over to Blue Streak. Rode in the third last row. It's still a nice ride for its age. Afterwards, we went back to Disaster Transport and rode that, then we had to wait long on the brake run because someone threw up. Then was Chaos. After that we got some nice twenty-five cent cotton candy. Next was Power Tower time, my dad and I went on the "Thrust Down" side while my sister and mother went on the "Thrust Up" side. Then we hopped on Magnum, where we could see our camper from. We rode in the very back seat which gave us a lot of good air time on those little hills towards the end. Then we were getting hungry, so we went back to the camper and ate some hot dogs. Then we went back into the park to ride Gemini. Gemini was a lot of fun, we (the blue) beat the red side. Next, we walked by the "Project 2007" area, looked through those conveniently made holes in the fence (For our viewing pleasure ). Mean Streak was next, we rode that, then my mom didn't really care for it that much, but I still liked it. Then, it looked like it was about to rain, so we went back to the camper to lie down and have snacks. Started to drizzle a little bit, and it was nice to rest. Then we got out and back into the park. First up was Witches Wheel, where I started to rock my gondala a lot and the girl claiming that she worked there told me to stop and got all mad at me (That was fun )Then was Tilt-A-Whirl (In Camp Snoopy). This one was a lot of fun! The girl running it let us all stay on it most of the time since nobody was in line. We got it spinning a lot a few times, which is a lot of fun. Next was SkyHawk, which was kind of fun, but I really think they should make it last longer. We rode the train next to get a better look at "Project 2007". Then, we went over to Millennium Force. That broke down a few times, but we stayed in line. We rode Millennium in the "Sweet Spot" as it was called on the "Super Coaster" show on the history channel. Got some good airtime on that. Then we went over to Mantis, which was fun. We then got on Raptor again. Then we walked to the Space Needle to get a nice view of the park at night, which we did. After that was Troika. Then, it was getting close to closing time, my sister didn't want to ride Dragster, so she and my mom rode Maxair and a few other rides while my father and I hopped in line for Dragster for a ride. Half way through the line, the ride conveniently breaks down (No sarcasm). So many people left the line! This brought us right up to the station very quickly! That launch is so much fun! I love that feeling! Afterwards we rode Matterhorn to end our awesome day at Cedar Point.

This trip was very fun! The weather turned out to be great! I was completely satisfied! This morning, after 8:00 mass in Breakers, we went to TGIFridays to eat a buffet breakfast with the characters which is always fun. Then we had to pack up and leave Cedar Point's Camper Village. We had a great time! I will always remember these trips with family members!

P.S. Sorry about the trip report being so long.

Sounds like fun. Did you take any pics?

No this is like right before the park closed. It was pitch black outside so all the lights were shining up at the tower. We usually always save dragster for last unless it has a shorter line earlier in the day.

Yeah, we took pictures, but it's on a disposable camera, so I may get it put on a disk to show.
