Speeddeamon128 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 So my dad, best friend, and me went to Cedar Point and Kennywood this past weekend for my 18th birthday! Besides the rain we had a lot of fun. 6/12/08 We stayed at Breakers Express and got in the park early! I'm finally back at Cedar Point! Raptor was our first ride at the point & ridden in the front. 1x today. Yayyy the greatest ride I've ever ridden! 2x today once in the front! Stand up time on Mantis! 1x today. The old tallest & fastest coaster in the world! Surprisingly the wait wasn't to long 1x today and the entire stay Magnum XL-200 Fun but painfull Maverick was the longest ride we waited for both days at the point. 1x both days Lucky #7 Mean Streak. The ride got better than last year however another 1 timer Lunch time at Chick Filia Wicked Twister was great! I wonder how it differs from Voodoo 1x today. For the first time since 2004 I got to ride Disaster transport since it was closed last year. Inside the Q for Disaster Transport. Blue Streak was a lot of fun! 2x today. Corkscrew was just painful I only got to ride Gemini 1x both days Cedar Point's Mine Ride is long but enjoyable. 1x today. Skyhawk was great! One last ride before turning in on Millennium Force 6/13/08 Our last day at the Point started off on Millennium Force We rode Iron Dragon early because we didn't ride it the day before. Wildcat was closed both days anyone no why? After Iron Dragon it rained for a few hours So we headed to the arcade in the pouring rain to play some pinball! Their arcade was HUGE! We also did some shopping at the Snoopy store. After the rain cleared we hit Cedar Creek Mine Ride. Magnum XL-200! Another painful corkscrew experience Wickedly Twisted time! MaxAir was a lot of fun! One more ride on Raptor. A shot of the Point from the observetory. Here's a Cedar Fair trashcan shot Maverick was closed all day When it rained we rode the train a lot! I think we rode the train more times than coasters Here's a shot of the World's Largest Amusement park driving on the bridge. Lake Erie pic. Blue Streak again! Me next to the greatest ride I've ever ridden! My last ride on the Force was in the front Mantis one more time Snoopy is down, I repeat Snoopy is down! Our final ride at CP was Magnum XL-200. What a trip it was. Watch the Video! 2 Day Conclusion Raptor=2 Millennium Force=4 Mantis=2 Top Thrill Dragster=1 Magnum XL-200=3 Maverick=1 Mean Streak=1 Wicked Twister=2 Disaster Transport=1 Blue Streak=3 Corkscrew=2 Gemini=1 Cedar Creek Mine Ride=2 Sky Hawk=1 Iron Dragon=1 MaxAir=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After about 4 hours of driving, we saw Pittsburgh! We stayed at a Holiday Inn Express about 6 miles from Kennywood. Cosmic Chaos was our first ride at KW. This disco was a lot of fun! 1x today. The Ghostly Manor was next. While in line, it started to rain Yayyy new Credit, my 133 coaster also our first coaster at the park. Phantom's Revenge was GREAT & it had AIRTIME The exterminator was fun, but a clone of Steel Piers Crazy Mouse. Coaster Credit 134!

Still a great ride Will never ride Didn't feel like getting toooo wet A shot of the cauresel. I just thought this was cool. Garfield's Nightmare was boring.

Thom25 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 WOW - great trip report while the videos were quite a pleasant surprise. Love the soundtrack (god's favorite band the mighty Metallica) - but I've got to ask - why in god's name was the only POV you took on Iron Dragon? LOL - thanks for sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_e219 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Great TR, you probably passed my house on your way to Kennywood. I think the Thunderbolt would be a lot better without the trim breaks before the final two drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennyweird Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Great TR. Glad to see you had fun at Kennywood. Garfield's Nightmare was boring. Darn straight it is! It's probably the worst ride at Kennywood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's one of them. --James What is the largest amusement park in the world if CP isn't SFMM & SFGADV r smaller & nothing in Europe or Asia come close except Blackpool in England which just puts coasters right on top of eachother also CP has the most coasters in 1 park with 17 so if there is another park that tops CP let me no because the record books list CP as the biggest & the best.

Just pointing that out 2 u Wow, you totally just butchered the entire english language with that post... And while yes, Cedar Point does have the most roller coasters of any park in the world, that doesn't necessarily mean its the LARGEST amusement park in the world. Because in terms of acreage, there are plenty of parks that are technically bigger than Cedar Point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because in terms of acreage, there are plenty of parks that are technically bigger than Cedar Point. Don't you count mostly the number coasters and rides which determine how big the park is? Cedar Point has over 300 acres I no that for a fact but I don't no the amount of land other parks have. Disney in Orlando does kill CP if you combine all of the parks and the Animal Kingdom alone might be bigger but they have less rides. Like I said I count how much rides a park has rather than land Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelTheFORCE Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Cool pics! Regarding Wildcat, it had an accident a few weeks ago, Google it and an article will come up explaining exactly what happened, or even search on the forums, I think a thread was made. It's still closed and probably will be for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
