Looks like I will be doing this exact same trip this fall. I may add in a few smaller parks to the mix as well.

Someone just told me that it was just over $30 per person when they ate there. Guess that I will not be eating there.

I thought you would like that shot.

I bet it has something to do with the Intamin cable.

I agree. I think there are only 2 of these type rides in the states. The one in six flags great adventure, and the one at six flags new england.

Thank you for the compliments. I will be doing another trip this holiday weekend, just not sure where to yet.

It would deffinetly would be cheaper to eat off property as I already do all the time. Just curious if anyone has eaten there.

Has anyone been to eat at tomo yet? We have been thinking about trying it out, and was wodering if it was any good.

Here are some pictures of the lap bars. You can see the lap bar here.

There is a bar right inside the Santa claus lodge right across the street from the park. We went in there a few Hollywood nights ago and had a good time. Just look for the big evil looking santa out front.

Yes.....the prices are way out of hand. It should not cost a family of 4 $18.00 for 4 sodas.

Dominic's has been gone for a couple of years now. It was replaced by tomo. Perkins is right next to tomo.

It's kind of hard to explain about the lap bars, other then they don't land where a normal lap bar lands. Instead of landing on your gut, it lands on your upper leg. Plus add in the fact that they felt the need to staple everyone, it made for an unpleasant ride. And no, I was not at kings island today. I am going to try to get there this summer, but will be there for sure in the fall for the halloween event. We did make it down there for the day after opening day.

Demon drop looks so different in it's new home. I plan on getting out there this summer.

Crap!!!! I accidently erased my memory card with the dorney park pictures on it. Looks like I am gonna have to go back this summer.

I noticed that they have paved the island haunt while on millennium force.

I was told by a high up at cedar point, that there may be some kind of media event this friday for shoot the rapids. So watch your local news if you live in the area.

I was told by a member of the park, that there may be some kind of media event this friday for shoot the rapids. So watch your local news if you live in the area.

Thank you for the compliments. And yes, I did get on dragster. I was pleased to find the line at around a half hour long. It's been a while since I have been on it, and I almost forgot how much fun the launch was.

I think they took the coaster apart and put it in storage.

Here are a few shots I forgot to add. This is the block of Q line that has not been used in probaly 20 years. Anyone know what ride these belong too? Amy used to work on this ride years ago. Troika ride sign. Troika in action. Nerd shot. Stopped at a rest area on the penn turnpike, and found these pictures of kings island in the lobby. Another kings island picture.

This is great news. This is a park I passed going to when I had the chance, and I am now regretting it. Didn't they have a great dark ride as well as a wood coaster?

I totaly have no problem paying a little more when you go to an amusement park.....it's expected. But.....When your charging twice as much as all the other parks are charging and almost $14 for a sub that you can get for $5 just outside the parks gate, it's a slap in the face.They want $4.50 for a soda at cedar point, and only $2.50 at disney for the same size soda as seen here.... http://allears.net/menu/men_cr.htm And to top off the high prices that they are charging,the quality of the food is below what they would serve at a soup kitchen. Ok...that's the end of my rant.

The next day we were of to cedar point. It was such a nice day out, I thought the park was going to be slammed, but it was not and that was a good thing. We decided to take the back way into the park. A really nice looking road. This is where you enter the parking lot if you come in the back way. The front gate. The Jack aldrich theater, now has a plaque. Lots of rides to be had at cedar point. Corkscrew. This part of the park is like a ghost town. They really need to add something here to pull in the people. Raptors cobra roll. Another shot of the twisty raptor. Wow....only $6.50 to make your $6 ,six inch a footlong. What a great deal!! It was nice to see an employie enforce the no smoking policy. I love me some millennium force. One of my daughters favorate rides in the park. Oops....forgot about this shot. Shoot the rapids is still testing. Looks like they were adding more boats. The new boats are making a splash. The crews were training. There were fuzzy things all over the place. They were like snow. See....snow. Time for another beating. I don't know when the last time was that these were used, but I think it's safe to say they do not need them anymore. OMG!!! Dead monkys!!! The animal rights people are going to be pissed. Gemini My daughter on the kiddie coaster Can you guess which one my daughter is? Magnum is always a great ride. Iron dragon doing it's thing. Just as I was snapping this shot, the train moved. I was trying to get a shot of the huge chunks of wheel that were missing from this wheel. Time to give mantis some love. The trims were off today. Trying to be artsy. No matter where we go, she is going to make a mess of herself. The new game in the arcade was sweet. You have to get to the other end of the room, and not go thrue the lasers. It was hard to get a good shot of the inside of the game. I forgot to add this shot of the mantis lift hill. Giant wheel. If you ever get in line for troika, bring your earplugs. Some genius decided to mount the speakers right next to the Q line. Saying that it is loud is an understatement. They were prepping the dirt for the flower displays. These are $0.25, unless you are at cedar point, then they are $0.50. I leave you with this shot of a piece of history on the blue streak.

We left Martin's around 5, and started the drive out to waldameer park. We arived at Waldameer with about an hour before the park closed. Good thing the park was not packed. Sorry about the glair, I could not get a very good shot of the sign. A side view of the comet as we walked into the park. Time to map out our 2'nd park of the day. I love the classic feel to the station. The merry go round as you exit the comet. Did I already mention how much I like this park? The midway. The flying carpet. Whacky shack is always a good time. The ride cars. Ok....this is my all you can ride band. And this is the ony negative thing I could find at the park. Half the time, it would not scan, and they also would not let you stay on and reride because they had to scan your band every time. Not sure why they went to this type of system. The pirats cove walk thrue. A look inside... One of the gags. Next stop...the log flume. The station. They had a weird way of storing the logs. I coulden't figure out how they got them from the rack, to the flume. You have not lived, untill you check out the amazing live shows at Waldameer. The monster. Don't worrie, I did not forget about the ravine flyer. It was dark by time we got to rf, so I was not able to get many shots of the ride. The station. Thank god the ice cream stand was still open on the way out. Another spinny ride. After 3 laps on ravine flyer, I took my daughter on the wipeout. It was her first time on this type of ride, and she loved it. The steel dragon coaster. A bottle of water is only $2 here. I hope someone at cedar fair can take note of this. On our way out, we noticed this machine. Not sure what it is for though. I wish we had more time to spend at waldameer park I really like this park.
