Coasterlicious Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 So yesterday was my 18th birthday and we took a trip to Cedar Point (its about a 4 hour drive from my house). Well the weather was great, but the sky was clear so we had no protection from the sun. As soon as we arrived we got in line for TTD, because I knew we needed to get on it asap. The line was pretty long, so we waited in the sun for about 2 hours, and I got bad sunburn on my neck and face . It broke down once, but it was back up in about 15 minutes so that was a good thing.! Our first time on it was amazing... I wasnt expecting the launch to be that powerfull, and the view from the top was priceless ( its funny how small MF looks from up there.! ) The MF line was only about an hour or less wait, so it wasnt too bad with all the shade (i wish all the rides had that much shade). Our first time on it was also amazing, the view of the lake and park is great, and the first drop was crazy! I liked how it keeps a steady fast speed through the whole ride, and the hills gave some good airtime. I didnt get to try skyhawk because nobody wanted to ride it with me, so we got on Power Tower instead, but I liked it still...and we got some good airtime at the top. Iron Dragon was the worst ride we got on, because it was pretty boring. I didnt get any g's at all. As always, Raptor was amazing ....and the breaks didnt hit too hard this time ( last year I got slammed really bad.) Magnum was okay, but I think its overated Mantis.....ummm.....ouch...... maXair was awesome but i enjoyed it more last year, so i guess one ride is enough.

mickske Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 2 hour line for TTD? I'd never stand 2 hours in line for 1 coaster... I just can't stand still for that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollerholden Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 So you went before last year, but this year was your first ride on Millennium Force and Top Thrill Dragster? Sorry it was so crowded and hot, but glad you enjoyed the rides! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coasterlicious Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 I was there in May 2005, but with my luck MF and TTD were both down. Wicked Twister and Magnum were also down.... It sucked that day.. Cedar Point is still one of the best parks ive been to though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollerholden Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 ^ Oh that's too bad. I finally got there a month ago, and Millennium Force was down the whole week before I went, and opened the day before I left! It would have been a major disappointment if that ride was down.

Coasterlicious Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 Ya that ride is amazing...!.... did you see the new coaster construction up close?... It looks really small too me..... I dont think its going to be anything over the top,or record breaking. I did notice the tons and tons of red track laying in the grass though... and I noticed people taking pictures of it but I didnt bother because I know people already have tons of them on here.

Rollerholden Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 ^ Yeah you could see a lot on the train ride..if you rode it. I got a pic of me in front of the red track o nthe field though! They didn't start vertical construction until 3 days after I left. But just look at CP's past...this ride will more than likely break some record.

Coasterlicious Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 Ya thats true... I just hope its something very original.... and reliable... so we dont get too much down time like Dragster had..and still has . But im sure they will find a way to amaze people once again.
