Yup, on Aug 20th...

[launch] [peakhill]

Of course, I'm going to post a trip report when I come back. In the meantime, wish me safety and short lines... [:)]

Short lines on saturday? I doubt it. The park has been packed lately too.

Are you gonna bring back some Onrides!?!?!?!?!?!

First of all, I don't have a video cam, and I'm not allowed to use the digital cam (it only has so much battery power and memory anyways), and also, I don't want to lose my head so I won't take out the disposeable to take onrides.

Short lines on saturday? I doubt it. The park has been packed lately too.

Ah great, I guess I'll have to start in the back and see what I can do... (I'd better tell the group leader next time to go on another day, perhaps on labor day. I went on labor day once, and the Ohio kids still had school [:)] )

Well that stinks no onrides . . .

I might be going to CP this saturday to get vids for my music video.

TRUST ME THERE WILL BE LINES!!!!!
(If you know the place, you know the extension in the parking lot right by the parking entrance off of the midway? I think its row 67. Well it was backed up past there 2 weeks ago, almost a week day las weekend because weather suck... OHIO WEATHER SUX)

P.s. To beat lines got to Wicked Twister first--- no line! the go to back and work to middle then go to raptor abou 6-7 and somethimes a short 15-30 min wait.

Yeah, I hope to get there when it opens. If the lines are going to be that long, I might as well skip WT. But I gotta try the front seat, plus I heard that Demon Drop will be gone in November so I gotta ride that too.

I'm going tomorrow, hooray! Now time to pack up my water bottles and crap. I'll probably miss lunch again this time...

Going to any theme park on a typical weekend (including friday) is just suicide. I went to SFNE on a monday for five hours and got more ride time then I when I went on Saturday for 10 hours.

Seems to be a lot of people going to Cedar Point in the next couple of days. I'm going on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.

Ok, I'm back and it's 12:08 AM right now.

Oh yeah, one of my friends saw someone record onrides, one of them on raptor, was that you coasterdave?

Anyways, I'll post a trip report tomorrow, good night y'all.

Well i dont know if i will ever in my life make it to ohio, but i wish i could visit cedar point, sounds fun. hmmmm i wonder if SFMM is anything like it?

One year sure goes by fast, it was the middle of August again, time to go to the best park ever made. I woke up at 5:00 AM, and after getting ready, we left at 6:50, the bus ride was about 2-3 hours, didn't eat anything when we stopped for breakfast. When we finally got there, we were probably about 15-30 mins after the park opened (at 10:00, I thought it was 9:30 so got pretty alarmed) Most rides were closed since it was raining wuite a bit, but later when Raptor opened, I should've went on it since one of my friends who did hardly had a line to wait. Anyways, I went on Troika, then walked all the way to corkscrew (I would always talk about "going under the corkscrews corkscrews :\) which wasn't that boring considering it was one of my first rides there, and it wasn't even as rough or head banging as I expected. Later, I went back to ride Wicked Twister, and the friend I rode with was horribly scared of heights, I never told him the height of the towers (215 ft) until in the middle of the line, where he couldn't turn back :p. Then it was Raptor, an almost 2 hr wait, more than 2/3 of it was in the sun, burning me like crazy. But the ride made up for it well, the jerking was rather enjoyable, I especially liked the zero g roll. Then I went on Blue Streak, then on Skyride down to the Poer Tower, the line was short so I rode it twice, first the up launching one, then the one that launches you down, which made me realize just how much better the down launch one was (which was no wonder there was actually a line for it, there was no line for the other one) Then I got in line for Top Thrill Dragster. It started raining again, so of course, some people left while I just standed there and waited, of course, no other rides were open so there was no point to walk around. Later the rain cleared, and after a long time it went up again. For the first run, it rolled back (darn line, I didn't get to ride the rollback), and then after a while, it went again, barely making it up and around. After I got up, I went on it. The 2g launch as always, felt like a time warp, while later going up into the heavens, with good strong airtime, then as my arms went up, the ride went down, the best part was the massive structure twisting around me, it felt like I was going to hit it. Later, I went on the Millennium Force which had quite a line, and even broke down in the middle of queuing, but it was a good ride. I seemed to have swallowed alot of air, there was just so much wind, considering the ride was around 2 mins or so. Then, I had to get back, I went on the skyride to get some rest since I was horrible exhausted, then got back to the bus. I was about 45-50 mins late. Anyways, throughout the day, I didn't eat lunch as usual, and worst of all, I missed Mantis, Magnum, and Maxair, thanks to those retarded lines. >:( Oh well, the trip was mostly pretty good, it was supposed to rain all day according to weather.com, but as always, the weather there is unpredictable, or perhaps I was just lucky. I brought a disposeable camera there and used all 27 shots. Once they get developed, I'll scan them and post them. Thats it, my rather short trip report, getting as much as I could remember.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Edit: I made a map out of the trip. You will have to resize it to see it since the resizer makes it unreadable.
