angryemobeaver Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 I left home a little late, around 4pm. We got to the park at 9pm. and bought a Twilight ticket (which was not worth $30) All i got in was Raptor (walk on) and Millennium Force (10min.) I only got about 2hours of sleep at Hotel Breakers Express, and woke up at 4am. I got to the park a little after 5am. After getting out free hoodies, cups, and our badge with the schedule we (me and gnarkiller) went to Raptor. Such an amazing invert My favorite part is the loop TTD through Power Tower I like this building This was the next eight rides i rode (in a row!) So tall So fast So amazing! Its my new #1 Sorry, no rides for you today... Ill ride you later. But it's time for some Maverick! Only bad part of the ride I love the double horse shoe roll This Maybe the best part..? They have no clue, but they are about the be in pain... This one came out bad The park is about to open back up, ill go to TTD I absolutely love this ride! What an amazing structure This was next Mantis is good until the MCB's Diving loop, through the trees! Loop, between the trees! All B&M's should have inclined loops On my way to Milly is got caught by Indians and they put me in this thing I see you! Okay ride, roughest wooden coaster ive ever ridden though. I wanted some airtime so i rode this in the back seat! MaXair has a short wait, so we went to it Next was Wicked Twister, but i forgot to take pics of it... instead, here is 2 nice pics of Power Tower! Speaking of Drop Rides, i love Demon Drop! Theres that Mantis again... By now it was over 90º so i was going to go on SRF but it was broken Corkscrew was closed Oh well, i already have that credit Paddle Wheel Excursions was relaxing but i couldn't stop laughing about how fake every thing was Next was Cedar Creek Mine Ride For this period of time my camera was in a locker and so there was no pics... I love this picture You can see Corkscrew's train, it's the giant blur It's now time for some more ERT! And so we rode Top-less Dragster! No wait either! I took the most pictures of TTD than anyother ride I can't help it, it's so beatiful! Last one, i swear! Thats all the pics i took, but here is a quick overview I rode every coaster (except Wildcat & Corkscrew) atleast once Raptor-4 TTD-3 Wicked Twister-2 Disaster Transport-1 Iron Dragon-1 Blue Streak-1 Mantis-2 Millennium Force-8 Maverick-5 Mean Streak-1 Gemini-3 Magnum- 5 Woodstock Express-1 (this was better than IJST) Jr. Gemini- 1 Mine Ride-1 Plus most of the other rides! I met up with a member of KICentral and that was awesome! I had Johny Rockets and a taco. To sum it all up, i had the greatest day ever, and i can't wait for next years Coaster Mania!
angryemobeaver Posted June 8, 2008 Author Posted June 8, 2008 Cool TR. You have alot of nice photos there. Thanks!
slither37 Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 Great TR! It was a great day and I think that Cedar Point really did a great job on Coastermania this year. The storm right at 10 was weird. I do not understand this, Right before 10, I was at Maverick and it was closed for the weather, no rain, no wind. Then about 15-20 minutes later, just as it starts to rain and wind picks up, trains start getting dispatched. One or two trains go and then it gets shut down again. Check out Big Mike's TR as he was on it when it got shut down and had to walk down the stairs on the brake run. Was the best Coastermania I have been to. With the new coaster next year, I hope Cedar Fair puts on something like Coastermania at Kings Island next year.

And i hope there will be a Coaster Mania at KI next year, it's my home park.
SFOGdude25 Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 Hey, I was there! Coaster Mania was so much fun! It was my first official coaster event EVER! It was nice seeing several familiar faces. Nighttime ERT was the best moment of the day IMO. I got on every coaster that was open at least once. Nice pics!
PKI Jizzman Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 Hm....Maverick, MF , and TTd are good. But I think Goliath at SFOG beats them all
vistaway Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 Nice photos. I agree with what seems to be the consensus - this was the best CoasterMania in a long, long time. The park got it all right, and then some.
MonkeyPants Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 Yep, CoasterMania was a really fun event. The rain tried to mess with our evening ERT, but fortunately it only lasted about 3 minutes! CP did a really good job of hosting the event. Very fun, and met a lot of friendly peeps!
hemmy Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 I think the Stengel dive is one of Maverick's best elements (neck of steel)
