7/01 Cedar Point

[dandaman]

We got to the Point around 10:10. It was only a day trip, so I kind of had to make the best I could of the coaster lines… First ride of the day was Raptor, front seat. There seemed to be very fast train dispatches for Raptor, and (the most surprising thing on the trip), Top Thrill Dragster. I never once saw a rollback through the entire day, and the trains were running pretty consistently.

 

Second ride, MaXair. Sat in Seat 16, I believe, and gave a great ride as usual.

 

Along the lines of that park area, WT was down for the entire day. A real bummer, since I’d been looking forward to it since the last trip (May 14).

 

Third ride, Blue Streak. A little bumpy, but still a classic ride with some great airtime.

 

After Blue Streak, something… interesting… happened. Some lady asked me and my sister to take her kids on a few rides for her (Calypso and Turnpike Cars). Now, I’m 14 and my sister’s 16, so on Turnpike Cars, I couldn’t ride with the kid because I wasn’t 16 or a “responsible adult“.

After that, I don’t remember specifically what I rode in order, but I went on the following:

 

Magnum (three times)

 

Millennium Force (twice in a row, surprising line shortening around 5-6:00)

 

Mean Streak

 

Gemini (both sides)

 

Raptor (twice)

 

MaXair

 

Mantis

 

Blue Streak

 

The live entertainment was a major surprise to me. I’d never experienced it before (aside from popping my head into the Red Garter Saloon for a few minutes to see what was up). Let me say,, Cedar Point really has great performances. We watched “Livin’ In America” around 4:30, great dance sequences and SFX.

 

Also, we experienced “Snoopy’s Summer Vacation”, which was a very unique show. An ice-skating show in the middle of the summer, about summer. There’s never been anything quite like it before.

 

A great time overall, and not that bad of a Canada Day, in my opinion.
