Yes Shawn you are so right! The thing is there is so much potential in this park. They own so much land and could do so much more.

We stayed at the Mecca Motel - $55 a night on Priceline. It is literally 5 minutes from the park on Cleveland Road. WAY cheaper then staying at any Cedar Point hotel. Plus we still got in an hour early because of having platinum passes. Was it is extremely dated and in desperate need of a makeover? Yes. But we were just sleeping and showering there, not spending ample amounts of time there at all.

I do not think Stinger was the best option for the park. But I like the coaster. I think its fun getting on with 3 other friends and have a good time with it. Its not a rough coaster at all, but that is my opinion. They do need a new wooden coaster. Do I like Thunderhawk? Yes, I do actually. I think its a lot of fun. I love wooden coasters that are not too rough and this one is perfectly rough for me. Others think its too rough and if that is their opinion they are entitled to have it - means shorter lines for me Even if they got something along the lines of Wooden Warrior like Quassy has would be awesome. That little coaster packs such a punch. I LOVE Demon Drop. I have more fun on that then Dominator. But that is because I do not like S&S drop/shot towers. They do not fall fast enough to thrill me. I prefer say an Intanim.

I convinced my BF to take road trips to both Six Flags parks in Texas next summer once I am hopefully living there. Even though he does not like them he wants to still go because I do and he likes to see me happy He is good to me

Word on the street is the height restriction for this park as well as longer hours they can be open have been granted.... ...Lets see if this helps the park at all.

^ Very good points! Just goes to show some coasters are rougher on some and not at all on others

I have finally been able to go to Cedar Point after years and years of putting it off. First off, I did not realize just how close this park is to Baltimore. It only took me 6.5 hours to get there and I thought it would take about 8 hours. Driving up to the park my first impression was completely amazed. The skyline of this park is simply beautiful. I know this park can get really crowded so I was expecting it to be chaos getting in and our of the parking lot. However, I was pleasantly surprised as how easy and efficient everything was. The entrance is beautiful. I was surprised not to see any metal detectors and/or bag checks. Every other Cedar Fair park I have been to has both. I was also able to take my outside drinks in every day I was there. Maybe I just got lucky, not sure. I am not someone who is picky with a park having shade and/or trees. I simply enjoy when a park is clean and tidy. This park was both extremely clean and tidy. Walking around for the 2.5 days I was there I continuously saw people sweeping up trash and things. I loved how on the side of the park where Gatekeeper, Wicked Twister, and Magnum are I felt like I was in an a well taken care of amusement park. Than on the other side where the water rides are I felt like I was in the middle of the woods in a very old town. The operations were amazing! They had train after train in and out so fast! I have never been to a park that has so many coasters running 3 or more trains on so many rides before. It makes me think why can't other parks do this? Also I noticed they would dispatch the next train before the last one made it to the break run. Again, this makes me wonder why so many other parks do not/can not do this? Many of the staff were literally running on the station to check restraints. This is awesome customer service in my opinion. We did purchase the Fast Lane Plus for Friday and it sure did come in handy. At one point Gatekeeper had a 3 hour wait and we waited about 15-20 minutes. Also many of the other coasters has at least 1.5 hour waits from about 11:30 till closing. Rides: Blue Streak - such a classic coaster. I was expecting it to be rough but it was not. I loved the back row on this. I could not stay off of it. Cedar Creek Mine Ride - Very rough coaster in my opinion. Not worth more than one ride. Corkscrew - One of my faves in the park. To me this is a classic. Gatekeeper - I have never been on this type of coaster before this trip. I was not sure what to expect. The restraints were very comfortable. Why can't they replace all SLC's with this version? lol I love the initial flip at the top and the first drop. After that honestly, I was not that thrilled. It is a fun coaster and we rode it several times but it was not my favorite in the park. Gemini - I LOVE this coaster!!! I love the lay out and that it is not rough at all - at least in my opinion. I also enjoyed that so many people played along with reaching out to the other train. My favorite drop is near the middle of the ride. Iron Dragon - boring, that is all. Magnum - Very rough in the back. Minus the helix in the back it reminds me of Steel Force at Dorney just much more rough. I do love how it goes out away from the main park and travels through the water park. It would have been neat for it to go out over the water. Mantis - I was in the last row in a middle seat. I had NO head banging. However, my friend was on the end seat and got a massive head ache from this. I wanted to ride again and again. This is now my favorite stand up coaster. Maverick - My second favorite coaster in the park. I LOVE the layout. I was not expecting such a small coaster to pack such an awesome punch. The very quick jolts make this coaster amazing for me. Once we went under the station and it slowed I was not expecting such a fast propel. The element it does under the first drop is my favorite part. Mean Streak - Such a massive structure. In my opinion it is a beautiful coaster to look at it. It "looks" intimidating and that is what I like about it. I rode near the front in case the back was too rough. It started off well and I liked it. Once it got to the second half it was quite boring. The end was the worst. However, I do see this as a awesome coaster for people who are trying to transfer to bigger rides. The drops are not steep and the speed is an enjoyable one. Millennium Force - In my opinion this coaster is the parks crown jewel. This is my favorite coaster in this park by far. I LOVE the lay out a lot. My first ride was in the back seat and I loved being drug over the lift hill. I also rode at night in the front seat - sheer epicness in my opinion. Raptor - This is a fun suspended coaster but nothing spectacular to me. I only rode once. I still prefer Talon or Alphengiest. Top Thrill Dragster - Extremely fun coaster - way better at night. I am still a Kingda Ka fan boy though. Wicked Twister - Nothing special - moving on... The only downfall I saw was the rain policy. One rain drop falls and EVERY coaster closes. I have NEVER seen that before. I have been to so many parks in the rain and as long as there is no lightning and/or thunder and the rain is not hard the rides stay open. Corkscrew even closed for "weather" and the sun was out! We were confused by that.

^ I am glad you liked the park. Yes, it has a bad rep but it has come along way in just the past 2 seasons. Do they have the biggest baddest rides? No, but what they do have is still fun.

' Agreed! Congrats on the new adventure Bobby!!! Thank you! I am so happy! What I found is the real deal. We click and we are trying but it does not feel like work at all. This is what happens when you get to know someone for two years before you decide to date. He doesn't like amusement parks but likes to go to see how happy they make me. The first day we met he took me to Galveston Pier and Kemah because I like coasters so much. Six Flags America is having the gay day in the water park on July 21 I think. I wish I could go but I will be in Texas with Kevin. Plus I am going to Schlitterbahn which is a way better water park then what SFA has.

Next Time - Brooke Hogan

I agree! I fit right into the "typical" gay crowd but I stay far away from them! I find the bear/cub/daddy types to be the MOST friendliest of the gay community. I get along with so many of them and sometimes prefer to go to their bars/clubs over the typical gay places because I get tired of the crap and drama.

Going to Cedar Point for my first time this Friday and Saturday. So excited! Already bought my fast lane plus pass so I can get lots of rides on GateKeeper. Is there anything big down right now? Is their Windeseeker up? I have not been keeping track. I figure with it being a holiday weekend they will try to have everything up and running.

Cedar Point for my first time this Friday and Saturday. So excited!

Green Light - Beyonce

YES! Thank you supreme court!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now we gotta start working on these states that do not have marriage equality. I may need this if everything works out and I move to Texas.

^ I would try contacting the park via their Facebook page.

Wild Weekend - Luke Bryan

^ I LOVE Vortex!! I rode it about 20 times in the two days I was there and loved each ride.

Just remembered!! Don't forget June 27th is National HIV Testing Day! BF and I went and got tested together Thursday Also for anyone that was reading the thread about when I went to Texas. Kevin are not officially together I am so happy!!!

^ I love videos like that. Here is the one from Baltimore Pride. It is actually a girl preforming as a drag king even though the title reads BF.

7 Days - The Summer Set
