Woo hooo more updates! I had soo many "battle wounds" after those two days. Sliced elbow on the Toboggan coaster of death, and all the bruises from Hades. Mt. Olympus wasn't anything special in my books. The go karts certainly were the best, unless you had a slow car or, you cant find the brakes... The thunderstorm was amazing when it knocked out the power for a second causing Opa to stall, and the wonderful walk back to the hotel through the rivers on the paths and parking lot. Can't remember much about Grindhouse. Just the "this is soo violent how the heck can you guys watch this" moment, and two people falling asleep on the couch ^ I have to agree with you on the SCAD tower Nadia! and the Skyscraper at Timber Falls was insane.

I think this photo summarizes your experience on the looping star of death. Pain?

This is bringing back soo many memories! I have to agree with Erik though. T2 wasn't that bad, at least it was fine in the back. ^^ It's Pink, sorry Shawn Looking forward to the rest!

That certainly was an epic journey Divv! It reminds me of the movie planes trains and automobiles. You do have an awesome story because of it now, just like the maverick queue. Glad to see the pics of the pegasus room. - Andrew "Always waiting for Nadia" Janes

Glad to see the photos going up Divv! I'm surprised your still able to function after all this excitement, 137 coasters in 26 days! I can't wait to see the rest of the photos.

Finally a ride over 110ft The layout looks awesome and it should have amazing views of the park/area. I wonder if it will affect the Italian job though, The lift supports are right in the middle of it. As for the new trains, they are well... Interesting. The station is going to have to be massive to hold them. I wonder how they will work out the gates inside, 8 rows of 4, or 16 rows of 2?

Dallas Dance! We look far too happy in that rain.

Waiting in line was one of the best moments at Cedar Point. It didn't feel like 8 hours at all. "Dallas Dance Moment" -Andrew "Maverick queue survivor" Janes

I went to see "Body worlds 2" when it was in Toronto, and it's definitely not for everyone. They did have age recommendations for it but it all depends on the person. I was fine with it, and actually found it interesting, my dad on the other hand only stayed for about 20 min before he had to leave. The exhibit was fairly large and took about 1.5-2 hours to visit, and had a variety of displays including a camel. It was not very popular at first but when people realized how soon the show was leaving the city tickets sold out quickly. The exhibit was open for 72 consecutive hours in the last 3 days, and almost every timeslot was sold out. If it ever comes to a city near you, check it out. Also I believe “Body worlds 3” is in Huston Texas and will finish on Monday (September 4th), and “Body worlds 2” is in Boston until January 7th.

My deposit is in. I had no clue paypal could be so easy!

Another option for those who live with in a couple hundred miles of Cincinnati is taking the Greyhound bus. It's definitely cheaper than flying, however it takes a long time. I’m looking at taking it from Toronto to Cincinnati and it will be a 14-hour bus ride (on average - some are faster but drop you off at 3am!) and it will only cost $139! Far better then the $400 to fly from Toronto. TexTitan01 - I have a feeling quite a few people will fly in early because flights tend to be cheaper if you fly in mid week (Wednesday or Thursday) and fly out mid week (Tuesday and Wednesday), the only issues that might come up by flying in early is hotels. Most of them wont allow anyone under 21 to stay without an adult. hope that helps andrew
