Don't worry, If you go to an enthusiast event you wont have to stick with the group if you don't want to and it is pretty easy to sniff out those who need to be avoided even at 7am.

Had our first cheat meal in a month last night. I went a bit crazy at Mellow Mushroom lol. we had pretzel bites with beer cheese. I had the Italian Sandwich and had a brownie with ice cream for dessert. I felt satisfied and miserable at the same time. I was dreading the weigh in the morning but I am down another two pounds. I am now at 268. At the pace I am on I will be 246 by the time we go to Cedar Point.

This one is tough for me. It is probably between two that I find to be perfection front to back Between the Buried and Me - Colors Killswitch Engage - Alive or Just Breathing.

I live nearby so next time you guys come through and are looking for food suggestions or anything reach out.

Platinum passes officially purchased. Cannot wait to get back to Cedar Point this year. It has been far too long.

I will chime in since we are pretty similar in weight or at least were the last time I visited. I was 265 last time and wear size 40 pants. I have big legs as well. I was able to fit on both Millennium Force and Top Thrill Dragster. TTD is a tougher fit but if you can relax and not tense up that will help. Here is a picture for reference on my size. I am 5'11. It all matters on how you carry your weight to so keep that in mind. I won this in one try at Kings Dominion on a Quarter I was just trying to get rid of lol.

Yeah no, If I stay in a hotel and have an absolutely horrible experience I am not going back. You can go have fun staying at this hotel and Rodeway Inn north in Sandusky lol.

Thank you for the kind words. This report is as much for myself as it is for everyone else to read. I sometimes like to go back a couple years later and read reports I have done lol. When Tron opens we will be back.

Never been to coastermania. Ill go one of these years.

that's great! keep it up.. what kind of exercise are you doing? or are you dropping just from changing eating habits? Monday and wednesday I run two miles, walk for 5 minutes, and sprint for 2 minutes during lunch Friday I run 3.1 miles take a short walk for a couple of minutes then sprint for 2 minutes. As time goes on I will up distance until I get back to a half marathon. I will also be adding an hour workout class on saturday and trying to do 5-6 miles of running on sundays.

Just stopping by to check in. I was 270 at this mornings weigh in. that is down 2 pounds from last week, 10 pounds since we changed up our eating 3 weeks ago and 15 down since the start of our Disney Trip.

I remember walking out of the room the next morning and everyone hanging out just watching others come in and out of the rooms it was so odd to us.

Same right about 10 years ago for us. Only place I have ever stayed where I thought there was a legitimate chance of not only getting bedbugs but raped as well

I never made it to this park, my question is why did so many seem to care so much about the park and its closure when they had Cedar Point so close by?

Wow I never thought I would have something that hit over 2000 views. It makes me feel like my time put into this is appreciated. I thought I would add a little bit to our last day checking out and leaving the resort for anyone that might be new to it and stumbles across this thread before a trip. I am sure other resorts within Disney are this awesome but I cannot speak on it as I haven't been. Art of Animation really made things easy for us. Really the only thing that only slightly sucked (and this isn't on Disney in any way) is that I had to have our stroller we rented from Kingdom Strollers turned in by 6am, but out Magical express departure wasn't until 7:25 so I had to get up early trek all the way across the huge resort then come back to the room to finish packing. We took our time heading the the Magical Express and to check in to our flight check out of the resort. We let the kids kind of explore and look at what they wanted for one last bit of making memories. I had made that walk probably 30 times during our trip but this was the first one we slowed down to take everything in. It was a bitter sweet feeling. The kids loved every bit of the theming in each area, next time we really need to take a day and stay at the resort and enjoy the pools. One of my favorite services was being able to check in to out flight at the resort that morning, it made everything super easy. The airline check in is located in the main building but on the outer wall facing the nemo pool. I will always take the chance when offered to avoid moving my bags more than I have to while wrangling two kids. It took us all of a few minutes to get checked in. I also enjoyed that when checking out of the resort I had no wait. It seems the time We decided to leave was a good one for not dealing with crowds. The night before we left was we we got our information on when our Magical Express ride would be. They deliver it right to your room with instructions. We arrived 15 minutes early like it recommended. Magical Express ended up being 30 minutes behind but it didn't both me and we were the only ones at our stop to get on. The whole ride to the airport and flight home I couldn't help but thinking about how happy I was to have made this trip happen. Kids do grow way too damn fast and being able to do something like that with them just makes my heart so happy. My daughter asks me every day to look at the pictures I have on my phone from the trip and my son talks about the trip every day still a month later. We went from a week of 65-70 degree high days to 28 and showing when we arrived. Drove two hours through the snow to get back to Cincinnati and officially ended our trip. I still have a bit of post trip depression.

Looks like I am actually getting a Platinum pass this year. Kings Island is my home park but we will have at least 4 days at Cedar Point this summer and one day at Carowinds. I am going to give my ticket + Fast Lane plus tickets to my boss to use. Anyway cannot wait to get back. Chick Fil A in parks is still dumb to me but whatever it must be working out. Edit: I remember the two ride Tuesday deal as well. If i remember right it only worked for the middle of the train on the rides it was for and was only maybe 4-8 rows

Vortex is the only Stand Up that I found enjoyable in the last ten years or so.

I remember as a middle school kid being underwhelmed and now I wish we still had it around. It was definitely much better in the early years before the changes.

I am headed to Municipal Waste tonight

I am glad I jumped on that ticket plus fastlane plus deal for $90 lol

You just have to be willing to out last everyone else, and given how you like to exercise that should be no problem.

I haven't done ERT at Cedar Point but at events I have been to its been the evening ERT that have been the best. like on Banshee Bash having Beast to ourselves around midnight when everyone was worn out. We were so tired from walking we just stayed on for 13 rides in a row I believe.

I am enjoying the report. look forward to reading more. Southwest and Frontier have both been good to me and I have no complaints. Southwest gets the edge for me with their response to the United Airlines beating that happened. " We beat our competition not our customers".

I love it, that's great to hear they are honoring them. Enjoy your future trip!

If it angers people then I believe it is a coaster. Why do people care so much is my question, regardless of what it is classified as they are still fun rides and even if you don't like them parks usually have more than 1 ride to enjoy.
