Last night I remember real well the dream I had. I'm going to go on it (and the other 11) for the first time next month. So I guess I have my mind on it as I am looking foward to Cedar Point. Now I know alot about what it looks like, how fast it goes, and all that. I know some of the elements were made up by me as obviously, I have never stood in the queue line. But here goes.
My Father was with me and we were going to ride together. My Dad and I both love coasters and nothing could scare us (coasterwise) at all. But I have to admit I was pretty nervous about it in my dream. Even though I don't even get butterflies anymore, even while riding tall coasters. We were near the loading station and in my dream it was inside a dark building with attendants there. It looked simular to Batman, very dark indoors. They asked how many, and told us which rows to stand in. I beleive there were like sliding doors at the end so we couldn't SEE the coaster until we were actually let on. So that lead to being more nervous because I had nothing to look at. I was talking about how I am not scared of coasters but this one is actually getting me a little nervous. So the 10 year old boy in the next line did pat my head. I felt like, ok buddy I'm not a kid. When the doors opened I was scared, and Millennium force sat 4 across (I know it's 2) So I sat on one of the middle seats, I usually go for the edges on 4 seaters but this time I was going to sit in the middle. The only restraint to hold us down was a seatbelt like a standard lap one in a car. Once the ride took off and we were outside of the building. . It was night time, very dark, and very cold. This all lead to making the MF seem more frightning than it actually is. I remember going up the lift hill, it being really cold and dark, and once we were up real high I couldn't even see the ground anymore. It was like being up in the middle of nowhere real high on a cold dark night, with nothing but a seatbelt to hold you in on a 300 foot, almost straight down drop. In other words, a doom ride, a coaster of death. Whatever you want to call it. But it was COOL! Oh man I can't wait to get on the MF. My CP brochure just arrived and I'm getting ready for the big MF. . and CP! Thought I'd share that with ya! I just feel compared to my DREAM, MF is going to seem like a wimp.
EDIT **** Grammer corrections and changed some story elements as I remeber them more.
