Shots/needles. I'll hypervenalate and pass out

Yikes, I guess I'll have to wait until next year to ride!

I suggest investing in a small tripod. You can you it to stand on a garbage can or whatever surface; especially if the legs can adjust to an uneven surface, and it really goes a long way. Keep it up!

I'm all for the rumors of a GCI or GG woodie replacing Disaster Transport/employee parking lot. That or replacing Mine Ride with a woodie.

I'm not sure if I'd want to change from park clothes to bathing suit, looking like it's THAT wet. Doesn't look too interesting to be honest.

Divv photo trs are awesome! Great update. Isn't it odd how the extra helixes are smooth, but the rest of the ride is horrible? Odd!

and hooking up (though they kind of go hand-in-hand)

I was in a movie theater a few exits down..it was pretty bad outside that night!

I thought he was pretty similar to Will Ferrell. I liked the show.

I couldn't belive this when I saw it this morning... so sad to hear.

Titan at SFOT has the little wheels car wash when you come into the brake run. I could understand why that ride needs the wheel cool down! Seems to be working alright for them..very smooth ride.

Just like to say, I've never had a front seat ride on Millennium Force or Top Thrill Dragster until this year... And I'm mad at myself for not riding in the front seats before! Dragster's wait for the front was abut 25 minutes, and Millennium's was about 15 (both were full). You've got to try the front on those two rides! Millennium was a whole new ride in my mind, coming from usually riding in the back and the middle. I'm going to wait for the front each time I visit! I think CP is a front seat ride park. Maverick, Dragster, Raptor, Mantis, Millennium, Wicked Twister, Mean Streak, are all front seat rides in my opinion. Backseats would be Millennium as well, Magnum, Gemini, Blue Streak, and Corkscrew.

Thankfully I'm not the only one who doesn't like Pilgrim's Plunge! Or likes Raven as much as Voyage and wayyy more than Legend! Great stuff Scott! -Zach

I should be able to get a ride up with JDillaman, so sounds good to me. I'll be in the area a week before for Lollapalooza..so looks like I'll get one final hoorah in Chicago before school starts!

Thanks! I don't do photoshop or anything. All my pictures are always al-natural. I don't like the present fake stuff. What I take is how I see it! I also like to do reviews as well. I like reading them, so I present them. I know I've had some PMs about full rez pictures, if you'd like one send me the low rez one and I will link you with a full pic...I'm on vacation now so be patient! Thanks!

Looks like a 300mm zoom? But then again I haven't taken the time to walk back to MF's exit to take pictures, looking at your shot at the top of the hill. Any color editing again? Nice stuff.

I've got to ride Maverick, that ride is just nutz. The different unique elements really make the ride, and yeah the restraints are a bummer. I don't hate them, but I think there's a few things that I'd like to have improved on them. -Grooved bar for your thighs. -Some sort of softer padding for the over the shoulders part. I'm not sure how much softer you can make it without people tearing at it. I usually don't put my hands up, and I'm always in the front seat..just leaning forward and holding on. Becauseeee I put my hands up it got my shoulders, being thrown into them because of the airtime and other elements. Love Maverick, don't love the restraints.

Here, too! I'm in love with this view. Marina, the rides, everything!

Not snow It's some type of tree or plant that gives off these fuzzy thing....something wood a guy called it. I've got to get back to Australia..Superman Escape was down while I was there! And I miss Scooby Doo's Spooky Coaster and Giant Drop. Thanks for the comments everyone! Forgot to add the Blue Streak photo. What a fun little ride!

^I actually think I like it better in the last row! The weird airtime and the transitions are fun. I've been in pretty much every other row before, I love the layout, the location...but not the standing up part. Too big of a coaster for it in my opinion. Which is why I like Scorcher more...it's like a mini Mantis...and it works! And even has crazier laterals and twists. As for the crew...seemed like they were in a rush. One lock, couldn't even hear them half the time. Only one person with their hands up? Boo! You've got me turning up and turning down. And turning in and turning 'round. I'm turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so Underside of the train Looks like the snow is picking up! Heading back down to ground level It's not thaaat bad Green means go! Arms down, head back, and hold on! Oh face! See you on the other side These things slow you down. Scccrrrrrttttt Now that's scary. Best 17 seconds ever. I love sky rides. Yup, crowds were looowww. Until next time, Dragster. Isn't it weird this thing is TEN years old now? I like everything here. No, I don't use photoshop. It's all the sun's credit. Interesting, eh? Mess of B&M track. 1994. The lake looked VERY pretty today. My favorite shot of the day. What a beautiful setting Raptor is a fantastic ride. Very impressive structure. Mr. Seagull likes it twisty. There is some nice landscaping here Hey Erik A! Demon Drop's area is now a flower bed and Seagull exhibit.

more! One awesome way to cool off - 0-120 in 3.8 seconds June or January? You decide! Boy the lake has some weird effects! Probably ate 100 of these things on our front row ride. Hmm something isn't right here..which way is up? This way is down, that's for sure. Open front seat? What a waste! I'm addicted, now. Incredible experience. A few different angles of Mil.F Hard to believe the second hill is 180ft Weeee! Nipples for Intamin!

... Twisty! Stengel Dive part 1. Yeah, this ride packs a punch. If you're not ready for the pull out of the launch, it WILL get you! See row 3. Heading over the 100ft drop at 95* Don't chuck a wheel! Putting your hands up MAY result in bruised shoulders (after 3 rides) Liver? Gertrude got manly and got BUSY! Cedar Point does attempt to make a nice train ride. Red side was broken today. I think this is one of the best rides in the park. Too bad it gets overshadowed. Millennium is quite impressive. Through the 3rd overbank and some crazy headchoppers A smooth, airtime filled fun ride for everyone. Smiles from start to finish! Shirtless at 420ft! Yeah, it was a hot one at that day.

Hey TPR! Last year I took my younger brother to Holiday World, so this year I figured I'd take him up to Cedar Point, seeing as he hasn't been there since '07 or so. What a fantastic day! Low crowds, sun all afternoon, great time. I got a tip that Shoot the Rapids might open soon so I though June 1st sounded great. It never opened, but they were testing and cleaning the area all day. Bummer! Oh well.. We got in at 9AM and stayed 'till 8ish. Ride reviews: Raptor - I love this old school B&M. We got two rides on it, front and back. Front seat is fantastic. Great swooping first drop, powerful corkscrews, and staple awesome loop and zero g...with a helix of death to boot! I think it's up there with Afterburn at Carowinds. 10/10 Mantis - One ride in the back row. I'm off and on with this ride...only had a good ride or two. Georgia Scorcher is MUCH better, and so is Vortex at Carowinds in my opinion. I'm ready to get off this ride after the dive loop. Turn it into a B&M sit down! They lock the seats without warning. No fun. 5/10 Mean Streak - Even in the front seat, this ride is rough, dull, and pointless. Texas Giant did it better. I would like a refurb...if they took off the breaks on the first drop (there's two of them) and it was smooth, it'd be fun. 5/10 Gemini - I love this ride. Back seat, non wheel seat...man I love it. Great floaty airtime. The red side was down, so no hand slapping. This is one of Arrow's best works, I think. 7/10 Blue Streak - This 46 year old woodie is awesome. Smooth at Millennium Force! Seems like people always skip it...best woodie in Ohio, I think. 7.5/10 Magnum XL 200 - Rode it in the front row....MAN. What a difference a few weeks makes. The front seat ride had rediculously extremely painful airtime. Those Arrow lap bars flat out SUCK! Do not work on this ride at all. My thighs were killing me for a while after this bad ride. 4/10 Wicked Twister - Rode 2nd row...forgot how forceful the launch was! This is one fun ride, especially how it's placed right on the beach. 7/10 Disaster Transport was closed....again! What the hell! I rode Corkscrew, Mine Ride, and Iron Dragon last visit. Nothing notable. Now....time for the big 3 Intamins. Top Thrill Dragster - Rode it three times, all waits were about 15-20 minutes. Finally got to ride in the front row....everyone needs to try Dragster in the front row! Wow...what an experience. It's incredible being launched that fast, then going straight up, flying out of your seat over the tophat, and then spiraling downhill...something I won't forget. 10/10 Maverick - This ride is just insane. Got to ride three times, twice in the front, once in the back. Happy to say that it's VERY smooth. I'm not a fan of the restraints, though. It's the lap bar that bugs me! You hit the final brake run, and that sucker is just plastered to your thighs. Why not groove it to fit the legs or something? I hadn't remembered it being that bad for a while. Other than that, I love the ride. It's got everything. Crazy first drop, intense airtime hills, twisty inversions, two AMAZING Stengel Dives...fantastic ride. 100/10 Millennium Force - Got four rides, two in the front, two in the back. It seems either Maverick or Millennim steals the show when I go to Cedar Point...and Millennium was running VERY well this year. I was a bit sceptical about waiting to ride in the front seat, but wow...completely different ride. It didn't take away from the first drop, the view is breathtaking, the airtime is a bit better over the hills, and the consistant speed is something that I will never forget. Front seat or nothing! 1000/10 Enjoy the photos! -Zach Raptor was the first ride of the day. Weather was so so. Snow is piling up! Millennium flies up and over the second hill, no airtime to brag about here. But this hill, running back from the island...awesome sustained floating airtime! Everyone having an awesome time Gotta love those Intamin trains Intamin makes you want to take your clothes off? flying out of the first tunnel faster than an I305 fanboy would attack a non-believer Shoot the Rapids was testing for a bit They were bumping the boats into each other on purpose...interesting Pilgrim's Plunge got those black handles added on this year. It looked very nice! It looks like water sprays horizontally at the boats....prepare to get drenched! 310ft. That's VERY high up. Front row, looking over that drop...what a sight. The backseat provides one intense first drop; one of the best! Maverick...another front seat ride in my opinion This might be an Intamin ride as well... One big splash for sure. Aren't the little trains cute? But don't let size fool you, this ride is insane. Height, speed, and grace... Or fast elements, forceful laterals and airtime.. But that first drop is hard to beat! I don't see what Kings Dominion is complaining about. Forgot how great of a headchopper Maverick has, and how powerful LIMs can be! Over the pond.... Hey Andrew!

Great report Chuck! Looks like you guys had a great time. While Mindbender has a more unique layout and setting, I prefered Shockwave over Mindbender. Batman looks great! Agreed Goliath is much better than Diamondback...that helix is insane! It's got that nice pop coming up off the hill, then rips you down into that downward spiral...wow. Loved Georgia Cyclone...another insane ride! That magic seat works like a charm.

Yeah it was pretty much off, but I've never been that big of a fan of the ride. Georgia Scorcher is soooo much better in my opinion. On Mantis by the dive loop I'm ready to get off.
