Photo TR: Cedar Point/Kennywood 6/12-6/14


Recommended Posts

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.

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

Great TR. I love all those amazing pictures.

 

P.S. Cedar Point isn't the largest amusent park in the world. But it's one of them.

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.

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

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.
