Quick Photo TR - Cedar Point 5/12/13

[nesdude]

I decided to do an opening weekend CP trip with a buddy and my girlfriend. With Fast Lane and nice-ish weather on Saturday, I kept my camera in the car. With cold and windy weather, I figured I would snap a few pictures. I invested in a DSLR this year and I still don't quite know what I'm doing, but it's fun being able to capture faces on rides from far away with a telephoto lens. So here's a few pictures!

Forever in our hearts (and on a go kart)

Cold and windy means trains stay in the station. Had a good ride on Saturday, though.

These new 10th anniversary banners for Dragster are awesome. Hope they go on sale after the season is over.

This picture would be more exciting if there were people on the train. Alas, that's where it sat.

I really do like the new Power Tower sign.

A hint of color in a cloudy day.

Hey look, a ride that's open!

A never before seen exclusive closeup of maXair.

Story of the day. It was cold and windy. Like, really windy.

Didn't stop these people for still waiting and hoping GK would open though.

WT was running, but I could not get a clear shot. Have the flags instead.

One of the rare roller coasters that were running, Corkscrew.

Pretty sure no one has taken this pic of Corkscrew either.

Yikes.

In front of TTD but that was the theme of today.

Nerd shot of TTD. One of my favorite coaster nerd behind the scenes areas is watching this in motion during a launch.

We'll end with the ACE sign near Magnum. Didn't go into the back of the park, so no Maverick or MF valley pictures, sorry about that.

Out of curiosity, what means high wind? And how often do they have such conditions there? Just asking cause I plan to visit in May/June 2015...

 

Visiting Hansa-Park a few weeks ago I had winds of 4-5 Bft with all coasters and even the Star Flyer running...

Holy Crap! Look at all those people waiting for Gatekeeper. And 30 min wait for Corkscrew? Thats insane.
