cprocks22 Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 So my friends and i did our annual trip down to Cedar Point for Halloweekends last weekend. It was a pretty good weekend except for the freezing cold weather. I wont explain the trip, not to many pictues from Friday or Saturday due to bad weather, but i did manage to get a few good ones. Heres my take on the Hauted Houses and fright zones (in order from favorite to least favorite): Fright Zone: An old favorite that is still great, TONS of Sreamsters and everyone was coming after us cause my friend was freaking out, one guy followed us through the whole thing. 9/10 CarnEVIL: Again very good Screamsters and lots and lots of fog, just kind of short, 8.5/10 Undertaker U: Yes the name is Cheesy but lots of good scares and some nice effects 7/10, would have been better if the people in front of us wouldn't have stopped in the tunnel. Pharaoh's Secret: Ehh, just ok i guess. A couple of scares and a few effects, just not what it was last year, 6/10 Lair of the Vampire: Wow this one really went downhill, 2 scares in the whole thing, too bright in my opinion and just kinda stupid, what happened to the magnet wall guy! 4/10 Fright Faire: Wow this was horrible, not one screamster even attempted to scare us and it was way too spread out. Would have been better if it was less windy so there was more fog and more screamsters. The only reason this got a rating is cause it can only improve...right? 2/10 And the Razr vs. Dragster story: While on Dagster after some MASSIVE rain and hail, we ended up getting my first rollback, along with 2 others. During the first one something fell out of my coat pocket. When they kicked us off after the 3rd rollback i realized it was my Razr. After about an hour of freaking out, someone called my friends phone who was the last person i called. We met them at Gemini to get my phone back and it was fine (NOTE: it fell from about 1/2 way up, in the middle of the twist), they said they found it in the grass next to magnum and on the way down it hit a support. I thanked them and continued to check out my phone, it was seriously fine, 2 dents and a missing battery cover. All screens work and the camera... WTF!!!!! The battery taped in place with medical tape till i replace it. Thanks for reading! I leave you with 2 picture of my phone after falling 250 ft from dragster. See the back LCD still works. Does this count as an inversion? Cool picture of Maverick taken from the train. Stuff for the electrical stuff on Maverick hanging out by Millennium. Next my friends hit up Wicked Twister and i took pictures. OMG Cedar Point got Six Flaged!! They were only running 2 rows when we got in line and up to 8 when we got on :-/ Waiting in line for our only time to make it over on dragster, but wait whats that... We decided to get a ride on skyhawk. This is the best picture i got. Pardon the rabid fanboy moment but OMGYAYMAVERICK!!!! I'm giant skull dude... GIMMIE SOME CANDY!!!! I like this picture, even if it is a little blurry. Well there, theres a train in this picture. Happy now??? I bet your wondering why there isnt a train in this picture, huh? I really liked this picture of Raptor even though it was closed because it valley-ed (picture to come later). The crowd on closing day... ya... My friends went on MaXair, i passed. Nice picture of the ferris wheel at night. Our seats waiting for the HAIL to stop. But it did give us 3 roll backs in a row!!!! OMFG ITS DRAGSTER THROUGH THE TREES!!!! (ya thats gotten a little old, sorry) The one picture worth posting from friday night. Waiting in line for U.U.
jackskellington101 Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 If those pictures and story about your phone is not a major advertisement for the Motorola Razr, I don't know what is. "Our phone can be launched from a coaster, fall 250 feet, and work perfectly fine".
dandaman Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 I really liked this picture of Raptor even though it was closed because it valley-ed (picture to come later). Er... Nice pics. I'd have really preferred it if I went on a Sunday... at least now I know better.
RaptorBoyASU Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Were they running Dragster with only the front loaded because of rollbacks?
pvcoasterguy Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Small rant: Please don't bring your loose articles on coasters. This rings especially true for rides like Top Thrill Dragster. If you do bring something on, use zippered or tight velcroed pockets, please! If you don't have either of those, take use of a locker, station bucket thing, or a bag lady. Because, really, would you want to get hit in the face by someone's cell phone? Anyway, seems like you had a good time. Thanks for posting!
cprocks22 Posted October 31, 2006 Author Posted October 31, 2006 Were they running Dragster with only the front loaded because of rollbacks? No at first there were hardly anyone in line. ^It was in a zipped pocket, just unzipped at the time.

"Our phone can be launched from a coaster, fall 250 feet, and work perfectly fine". Serious...My phone didn't exist after it fell 100ft from Tatsu. CLICK HERE FOR VISUAL AID!
haiderodes Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 That is amazing about your phone. I broke mine just walking into Knott's. It didn't even fall.
coasterlover420 Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 I love the pictures of Maverick! And again, any pic of Dragster is GREAT! Love the TR!
