Hello All,
My fiance and I just arrived back to Chicago a couple of hours ago. Here is a little info from our great trip.
8/29-We left Chicago around 10am and arrived at CP hotel breakers at 5pm. We stayed in the older section because it was only $300 for three nights with the package. The room is not great but works fine. It is clean and we only need it to sleep in.
So we head to the park around 5:30pm. We go straight to (you know) Maverick. We wait around 45 min and all I can say is WOW!!! What a ride!!!. I was so impressed. I am all about heights and speed but this ride was just plain awesome. The park was almost empty and we were able to ride most of the coasters by the closing at 8pm. The only negative thing I can say about Maverick is waiting in line when it is hot and humid. There should be some fans in there but oh well---What a great ride!!
8/30- We are at the park all day and ride mostly everything. Max Air was down the whole time and Raptor was down alot also. But for the first time I rode Dragster in the front row and it was great!!! And well worth the extra 20-30 min wait. I have to ride Dragster alone because my fiance will not ride it no matter what!! What a wimp!!! Anyways the weather was great and it was an overall great day.
8/31- We got to the park at 5pm(Starlight). We ride Maverick twice, I ride TTD once, and most of the other coasters except for Raptor and Max Air. I was a little upset that I didnt get to ride Max Air on this trip but I got to ride TTD, MF and MAV many times so I am happy. Also when I start getting upset that rides are down I just have to realize that rides now are much more complex so I just have to keep my mouth shut and just have fun and enjoy all of the other rides.
So overall I had a great time and I think my fiance had fun also even if she didn't admit it (Remember she hates roller coasters.)
My fiance is so great because she puts up with my love for roller coasters and Cedar Point. She comes every year with me even though she hates it, but she tries to have fun anyways and I appreciate that.
Sorry for the long trip report. If anyone has any questions please let me know.

i have the same problem with my g/f but she also puts up with my obsession...i always tell her theres only room for one love :)
The only thing that was a plus when i went in july2nd-6th is that everything was open pretty much the whole time i was there, but hey if one is closed you have plenty good rides to choose from not like at my home park SFGADV when Kingda ka goes down the line for El Toro is 2+hrs and vice versa....GOOD TP
Thanks. My home park is Six Flags Great America. And this place is horrible. But I still go once or twice a year because I love coasters and it is only 45 min from me. But every time I go I realize how great CP is.
Does your girlfriend go on any rides? My fiance goes on MF but her face turns red and she cant open her eyes throughout the ride. She only can handle it once per day.
