Since my first visit in 1948 as an infant, I have maintained my status as the family ride chicken. I always liked the boats and the trains and a few children's rides. My 3 yr. old grandson got me on Jr. Gemini and Woodstock Express this year. His mom and dad will have to take him on anything rougher. I'll be riding with his younger brother for a bit and then I will be back to riding the train.
The beach, Soak City and the fun atmosphere are the draw for me. Cedar Point knows that if they can attract chickens like me they have future generations that will also love the park, even all the coasters.
BTW - my grandsons are the 5th generation of Cedar Point fans. The 3 year old is very proud of his first Platinum Pass. The little guy will have to wait a bit for his.
Well so far,there's 2-66 and a 65. At 66,I still do MF and TTD a lot. Last year I did a 26 ride sequence on TTD and a 14 ride sequence on MF. I can't do rides that go around and sometimes the ending helixes on Raptor get to me. Sylvia in the first aid station knows me for getting motion sickness pills.

Well, as of now I have you all beat. I am 72 and still riding coasters. My favorites are MF and TTD. I have been going to the point since I was 7 or 8. I think the first trip was in 1948. I remember dirt midways, Wild Mouse, Scamper, Tumble Bug, Noah's Ark and a fun house called the Crazy Castle. I think that was the name of it. It had a stairway to the 2nd floor that half moved up while the other side moved down. Second floor had a large bared window with the floor in front of it moving in different directions and a large wooden slide down to the 1st floor. There was also a hall of mirrors, and a cave of the winds. Like Dennis I cannot ride coasters ending with a helix or anything that goes in circles anymore.
