Canobie Fan Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 So yeah.. Back when the TPR Midwest trip was going on.. Me and Rich (sfne2005) went out to Cedar Point the same 2 days as the trip would be at the park... Yeah.... I gave away my SROS SFNE wheel for the trip. Anyways.. Photos And the hotel itself... (So yeah... In the end I did have a fun time at CP and rode some stuff and met up with some people from past TPR trips and even met some new people (woo).. But I still dont care for the park much..) One of the pools at Breakers... And well.. Uh.. Thats it I guess. Yay random flying bobs... CPs nighttime laser show thing was really cool the last time I watched it.. But this year I just had to run past on my way to the giftshops. Yup... Of the 4 S&S swings I have been on and 6 I have seen... This is the only one with cool lights under it. Power Tower looks all cool.. But I just dont care for S&S towers.. Most of them slow down so fast your butt catches up with the seat as soon as you start to drop Cedar Point really cares about safety.. Yay for random unlocked and open gates that lead to lockout zones... And to make things even better this photo was from outside of the park itself so I could have got in for free..... Aw.. Look at the poor sad Troika car Troika... In its new home (for me at least) and with its new colors. I won this pig at the guessing game.. Yay me Goat! If any of you here on TPR were on CoasterForums back in the day you will get why this photo is funny.. *CPSTC* blah blah blah yay free water!!! Ocean Motion.. Might just be the hardest ride to find in the park? So what GL ride will replace this for 2008? lol.. Being the immature boy I am I found this *random* crack funny... Remember when it was next to Mantis? omg art photo !1!! Turbo drop side... (Skipped both because most S&S towers suck) Space shot side.... Water ball...thing.. Doesnt everyone take a photo of this? Even with its bigger swing... Sky Hawk still has the same flaws all the other S&S swings suffer from (short cycle.. not a lot of full swings) BigAssScreaminSwing Only got 2 flips on my ride.. But I guess thats still better than my flipless ride in 2001! And once more.. HOLYCRAP! A Chaos that works!! Eh.... Its ok.. Delirium had been closed when I was at Kings Island in 05.. So this was my first chance to ride one... Woo Holycrap! A giant frisbee that works! Best drop tower in the park.... Holycrap! A first gen that still works. CPs best flat... But I didnt ride it this trip Well after it rained forever.. Rides started to reopen. Uh. Guess we wont be going on ANYTHING for a few hours... But first!... A photo of Hotel Breakers Ooh.. lets go in the park now.. Woooo Oh.. They also have 2 different minigolf courses. Lakeguls They like.. Have a beach and stuff Woo.... Cedar Point...

RIP Psyclone Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Nice pics. Definately off the beaten path of most CP TRs. I wish SFMM still had an Enterprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticky Nicky Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Xtreme Swing at Valleyfair has identical lights under it. They are indentical except the tower on Skyhawk is 103 feet instead of 100 to make it the tallest swing but they both max out at 125 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Fan Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 Well I havent been to Valleyfair!. Only parks with swings I have been to are Dorney, Compounce, Thorpe, Cedar Point (all ones I rode), And then I saw them at Moreys and GrandPrix SC (both were closed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I'd give the Troika car a hug and make it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canobie Fan Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 No coaster pics??? Wait what? Cedar Point has roller coasters? Guess I forgot or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
307 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Nice TR, the pic of the cracks in the pavement was awesome. I gotta find that when I'm there and pose with it. The emo troika car made me sad for about a quarter of a second, until I realized that it was an inanimate object on a crappy ride. I'd be sad, too, if I were in it's place.

Canobie Fan Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 lol the crack is kinda by Chaos and its lkike 5-6 feet long! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
307 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 lol the crack is kinda by Chaos and its lkike 5-6 feet long! Yes but when you factor in all the cement at CP, 5-6 feet long really doesn't seem so impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillMontu Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 What part of the beach was that? There isn't a single trash can in your beach picture? As for swings, the ones at Wild Adventures were pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wood Dragon 1988 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 For someone who's never been to CP like myself, this TR was great! I get sick of seeing all those coasters over and over....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeatleBen Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I remember the pig! It was great getting to hang out with you again and finish my credits. Hope to see you sometime soon again! Also, I just saw your Tripsdrill video and I didn't realize how funny that wave was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for swings, the ones at Wild Adventures were pretty good Only the part of the beach down by the hotel and Magnum has lots of trash cans. Down by Wicked Twister, there are almost none.
