Cedar Point May 14th (no Pictures, sorry!)

[Chris Benvenuto]

Ok, May 14th, the greatest CP visit of my life and why:

 

I got on and off Maxair in 10 minutes

 

and

 

I rode Dragster for the first time......

 

The Trip Report:

 

well, we get to the point at 9:25 and get a nice spot to park in section 13E,

then we headed into the park by the gates near Maxair. The gates swing open and the running of the bulls begins. I Ran off to Maxair, which....My lord, KICKED MAJOR ASS! it rocked! I got the top of the spin cycle on every swing during the ride. CP has a trophy, incredible. Then to make things short the Rating for the rides enjoyed and hated:

 

Blue Streak (7.5/10):

Nothing big, nothing too special. I like it, gives me the airtime I need to wake me up in the morning when at the Point. A Thrillseeker's Coffee House Special.....

 

Magnum (8/10): Still great, still the classic Magnum i love, the ride was running great then, all 3 trains running, good decent fun, always walk on with the Ride Op Crew it has. Never really saw the knock on glass method used when riding.

 

Dragster (9/10): Incredible, went 120-122MPH when I was launched since it was raining on and off that day.

 

Part 2 coming......need to think of what i went on that day.....the names have slipped my mind right now......

[Coasters 4 ever]

Why don't you rate Maxair?

[CoasterFanatic]

He did. He gave it a "KICKED MAJOR ASS" rating.

The best parking spot at Cedar Point: Soak City/Challenge Park parking lot. Right near the center of the park. Head to the back of the park when the park opens, while everyone else is still in the front. Plus, if you pack a cooler, it's easy access to beeeeerr..... food, like sandwiches your mommy might of maid. And when you leave the park, it's a straight shot down the causeway. And you can't forget about the TGIfiday's at the hotel Breakers. Yummy, yummy! 8)

part 2:

 

 

Well, here it is:

 

We had lunch at Charlie Brown's Cookout, 1 thing bad about CP. Cheeseburgers, ugh......but the smile fries are so cute!

 

Mantis (8/10): why is this ride so good? i thought it busted nuts, not leave you for breath?

 

Paddlewheel Excursions: *cough* *cough* Stupid. *cough* *cough*

 

Mean Streak (6/10): felt good and smooth for some strange reason.

 

Woodstock Xpress (5/10): not bad for a junior coaster.

 

and yada yada yada. couldn't get on raptor, always had 1-2 hour waits.

Gemini was down till 8PM.

and so on.

 

Good fun

Hey now! That was my ride from 1997 to 1998. Well, only part of 1998. I got sick of the stupid jokes and moved to Thunder Canyon. It's still one of my favorites.

 

I suppose you think Disney's Jungle Cruise is stupid to. BEST DISNEY RIDE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CoasterFanatic]

Mean Streak (6/10): felt good and smooth for some strange reason.

 

That thing is running MUCH better this year. Has anybody else noticed this yet.

 

Also, was there always 2 fin brakes on the first drop. Before this year, I only remembered 1. Anyways, it may slow you down (a lot), but without the shuffling in every turn and bouncing on every drop, you keep the pace a hell of a lot better.

One word: HUMIDITY

[Spookbaby]

Although I don't dub it as the "best Disney ride ever" I too am a fan of the Jungle Cruise.... although it would be a whole lot better it the 'jungle cruise guides' jokes where actually funny...

You could make an Off Broadway show with those jokes.

 

As comic book guy would say, "BEST RIDE EVER!" 8)

Well, Magnum was heavily braked on the beginning of the pretzel turnaround on the 14th
