TPR Midwest Trip - Day 8 Cedar Point Day #1

[arrowfanman]

<--- Waited 30 minutes for Maverick at closing.

 

 

 

Anyway, that video was much fun. Those frustrations were echoed by all, even those not in Maverick's line.

That video is brilliant!!!! I'm still amazed you's stuck it out for the whole time!! We kept going past and you were all still there!!

 

At least it was worth it though, Maverick was awesome!

I caught up on some sleep, got a few drinks and rode other available rides so the next day wouldn't be as hectic. 1 1/2 hours was all i could take before I left to get into other things.

Man, it must suck for you guys to be there for eight hours, post your awesome video about it, and then have everyone else come in and laugh about how they only waited less than one for a ride

 

Thanks for sharing the video. Seeing all of the various adventures, in-jokes and hilarity from the mid-west trip from everyone is a lot of fun!

No its quite funny really. We waited an hour on the following evening for a night ride which was great. During the 8 hour thing most of the other rides were closed as well so it was a choice of either wait in the rain for the first train of Maverick, go back to the hotel, or wander around the park looking at closed rides. Alot of people decided on the hotel and TGIs, some hit the other rides and had problems due to constant closing due to weather.

 

We decided to wait and had a blast doing it. After Maverick we managed Mean Streak, Gemini (one side), The Mine Train, Magnum, Skyhawk, and front seat of TTD so I think we did pretty well.

 

We then hit all of the other credits the following day by lunchtime (longest wait - Mantis - 45min) so we had the rest of the day to do the other stuff (Power Tower, MaxAir, Rapids, Soak City and then TTD and Maverick again).

Awesome! I can't believe you got that much stuff done on a Friday!

[Shockwave]

Holy moly that was a long wait! I certainly wouldn't wait that long. You were very brave to stick it out.

 

I can't believe how bad the weather was there, but you sure knew how to make the most if it. Well done, you crazy crazy people!
