Hey everyone, I'll keep this short! I just got back from an plane ride over Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. I would like to thank my buddy for giving me the opportunity to go flying with him, he did a wonderful job piloting the plane! Enjoy the photos, and hang in there... The off-season blues are almost over!
EDIT
Here is most of the shots on my Flickr account. Check them out! Fill sized Images available!

Great photos! And with Wicked Twister, there were many occasions throughout the season that I saw maintenance working on that tower so this does not surprise me.

Incredible, awesome, insane!
I really wish I could visit Ohio this year. Those pics just emphasize my desire for Intamin goodness. Too bad the closest Intamin is about an hour north.

I have only ever been to this park twice in my life, but what is wrong with wicked twister? Both times I have been, the ride was running and running great too. I don't know the story behind this ride I guess, besides they put those little support beams at the top of the support tower to hold up the track.

Great pictures! Cedar Point really is completely surrounded by water...and the ride overview shots on Maverick, MF, Raptor, and Mantis are really cool.
