When I say we I mean my Brother, Mom, Step-dad, and myself. We left the house about 10:30 with a two hour drive ahead of us. We get to the Sandusky exit on the Turnpike and the cars are backed down the ramp to get off. So we wait and wait. Then we get off and the traffic is backed all the way through Sandusky and up to the Turnpike exit. So we wait and wait then we got tired of waiting and we pulled into the Taco Bell and Long Jon Silvers to get some lunch and let the line of cars die out. We get back and the wait is pretty much just off the Causeway so we pull in and drive back around to Hotel Breakers where we are staying and get checked in. After that we decide to just chill in the room for a while since we could tell the park would packed. Then around three o' clock we go into the park through the Twister gate and go down the Twister Midway. First we do Chaos which is just a great flat ride. Then after that my mom wants to do the Giant Wheel so we do. Then we do the Trokia. We check the line for the Wicked Twister but we pass it up on the acount of the hour and a half wait. After that we get on the sky ride and go and do a couple of laps on the Iron Dragon. We decide after that to go to coasters and have some milkshakes. After that we take the train back to frontier town and just decide to stay on then when we get off we go back to the room. After being there for a while I take off by myself and first off I do the dragon again because everything else has extremely long waits. Now it is close to 8:00 and my family calls me and tells me they are coming in the Twister gate so we walk out the entrance of Carnevil and walk through it and it was pretty good one of the monkeys with the cymbals got my brother really good. It was not as good as the Fright zone though. After that we decided to give the new Lair of the Vampire a try and it was good too. After that we headed to the back of the Park and went through the Fright Zone and it was good as always and when I was taking a picture of the skull it started talking to me. After that family wanted to do the Were Wolf Canyon but I was not waiting an hour and a half so I split up from them. I went back and did a really good ride on Mean Streak it wasn't very bumpy at all. After that I went to do the Dragster and I waited about 45 minutes for it and it was really cool being my first night ride ever. When I got off it was 11:55PM so I dashed to the Wicked Twister and just made it before the line closed. It was a very good ride then I went back to the Hotel to get some sleep. The next day I woke up about 8:30 and went to the twister gate since I got in at nine. I to ride the Millennium Force and waited an extra five minutes and rode in the front it was cold! When I got off I got right back on two rides in a half hour not bad. After that I went over to the Dragster and the line wasn't even backed down the ramp but I ended up waiting an hour because every other train it went down due to mechainical problems. But I rode in front seat and it was great but a little cold. After that I met up with my family and did the drop on the power tower which is the only ride that I am afraid of. After that we did the Magnum and then my mother wanted to do the Paddle Wheel Excursions which was nice. Then my family did the Gemini but I didn't feel like doing it so I got a cheese on a stick insted. Then we did the White Water Landing which is always a fun ride. Then we did the train up to the front and went back to the hotel for a while. Then my brother and I went back in and we rode the Mantis which was actually one of the best rides I have ever had. We also did the Wicked Twister. After that I split up with my brother and grabbed a chicken basket from the Dragon inn. Then I headed back to the Mean Streak and rode in the clear back. Ouch! But it was still fun anyway then I got a call from my mother saying they were heading over to Famous Daves and to meet them there. I get there and the food is already on the table. We got one of those platters with everything on it like ribs, chicken, coldslaw, brisket etc. Then we once again all went back into the park and rode the Raptor first which is still my favorite by far. Then we headed up the midway and took a quick spin on the Dragon which from there we could see Mantis was walk on so we did it next. After that we walked through the Fright Zone with just a massive amount of fog. When we got back there my mother wanted to do the Antique Cars and we also did the U.R. Dade haunted house. Now it was about 9:30 and we went over and did a ride on the Gemini then we did the Magnum still the ride with the greatest airtime. Now it was about 10 till ten and my brother and I just made the Dragster line. We got in line for the front but the woman cut us off and said that they would only be sended a limited number of trains and we needed to find another row so we ended up doing the second to back seat and it was not bad at all. After that my trip to the point was over but it really was great!
