We were orriginally going to KI and CP but we would only have a couple hour at both parks. So we dicided to max out at CP.

Thursday-

We left Missouri at about noon-ish with my friend, my dad, and my brother to hurl along our 10 1/2 hour drive to sandusky. It was painful, but it semed short because I was so excited. We stayed at a motel 6, but it was actually a hotel. Cool.

Friday!-

We woke up at about 7:00am to drive to cedar point. We stopped at Breakers Express and picked up our tickets, parking passes, and hour early passes. We soon arrived at CP at 8:30. Since my dad won't ride anything he just kinda wondered around with us. They didn't want to run to Millenium Force, so we walked.

It was about a 10 min wait for the 7th row. I had already rode this once and I could not wait to get back on it. This IS my favorite ride! The lift is absolutely amazing, and with the airtime, overbanks, and tunnels, this is the best coaster in the world! 10/10

Next was Maverick. I was really anxious to get on now. It was about a half an hour wait. After all the rave you hear online, you really want to ride. The lift was a lot faster than I expected, and so was the launch. The drop was cool, and so were the air hills and Horshoes. However, the two high banked stengel dive type things had to be the best. This ride isn't the best IMO, but it still packs a punch. 9/10

Next was top thrill dragster, which by now the park was open to the public. It was about an hour and a half wait, but it was 100% worth it. The launch is crazy, and if you stand next to the drum, it sounds like an airplane taking off. The top is amazing, and you get a good 5 seconds to look around and see everything. Amazing ride. 9.5/10

Then came magnum. 5 min wait. It was pretty smooth, coming from a woodie filled park. The air hills were nice, but the best part was the view of the lake. 7/10

Next was Gemini, and i have a question, does the red side always win? This one my dad rode, so me and my frind raced against my brother and him. He didn't like it at all. I did. Little bumpy, but it was fun. 6/10

Next was Mean Streak. Personally, I was expecting a bad, rough ride, like most of the reviews. But it was actually really good, and it didn't hurt that much. We rode in the back which I thought would be the worst but I guess not. The Boss is twice as rough as this. It was a fun, long, good woodie. 7/10

Then we dicided to eat lunch. We had chicken Fingers. Expensive!

Next up was mantis, which was a 45 min wait. Boring line, but good ride. Not as hurtful as last time. 6/10

At that time it was about 3 so we went to see a show. All Wheels Extreme. Pretty cool, bike tricks were fantastic.

Then came Wicked twister. 10 min wait. It was fun, but I think V2 is better.

We were then going to ride DT but it was closed.


That night we drove to Cleaveland to see the Indians play the Tigers. Even though the Indians Suck, they actually won, and have a pretty cool stadium.

Saturday-

We got up at 8 and were soon at CP

First was Raptor, it was a walk on, and we got front row. Awesome ride, a lot better than the batman clones. 8/10

Then came Millenium for a second time. 30 min wait, totally worth it. 10/10

It was then 9:45 so we headed over to TTD to see if we could find a short wait. Once 10am reached, it had technical difficulties. We wait about an hour and were soon on. Again, breathtaking. 9.5/10

Next was Iron dragon, 15 min wait. It was cool, and we got stuck on the second lift. 5/10

Next was Corkscrew, 20 min wait, not worth it. I'm not a fan of arrow loopers and never will be.

Next was DT, 45 min wait, probably not worth it. It was my first bobsled. 6/10

We were going to ride Blue Streak, but we didnt have enough time to wait 2 hours in a line.

So we left around 2pm for Pittsburgh. Cool ballgame, and the pirates won.

Sunday- we headed for Cinci and saw KI on the way, DB looked sweet. then we saw the Reds play at noon, but they lost to the rockies in extra innings, eh.

Long drive home, sad, but I hope to come back next year!!

In two days, thats all you rode? Disappointment.

[NitroDude319]

Yeah and it seems that the park wasn't that crowded also. You could have gotten more rides for the time you stayed there.

[MFFreak]

You should have stopped in Kings Island. That would have made your trip more worth while.

[RCmaniac31]

I think it was pretty crowded. My friend never wanted to ride anything, and my family is SLOW. Well, I think I can convince them to at least go to KI next year.

Going to CP for 2 days isn't worth while? I laugh.

[pkiknex25]

Keyword "more" Marcus. I thought you were smarter than that.

I said, MORE Worth while. Because he drove all the way to cincinnati just to watch the stupid reds loose.

[RCmaniac31]

Haha, yeah we could've gone to KI on Sunday if it wasn't for my brother...
