Andrew 94: Cedar Point - May 30, 2010

Trip #2 started out around two in the afternoon. I started out on the Magnum, which had a surprising short wait of only 15 minutes. Then it was on to one of my favorite rides, Paddlewheel Excursions. Trying a second time to get pictures of the back of Shoot the Rapids, failed because my new camera wasn’t made to point and shoot a million times in a minute. Then, I took a quick ride on the Gemini and Cedar Creek Mine Ride to stall so I could make it early to the 4 o’clock Grand Ole Country. After Grand Ole Country, which is a great show, I took the train around a few times to take a look at Shoot the Rapids. Then, it was onto Tropical Heat, Island Beat, which is the best show in the park this year. After the show I took a stroll down the Frontier Trail, visited Charlie Brown’s cabin, and took a peek at Shoot the Rapids. But, guess who I found sneaking a ride, Tony and Tyler. They are two very lucky people.

Then a quick dinner break at the car, and then back to Shoot the Rapids for more pictures. Yes, I really do love this ride, even though I can’t ride it yet! Then it was onto the Hot Summer Lights midway for a ride on the Iron Dragon and Wildcat. After that, I headed over to the Wicked Twister midway to ride Wicked Twister and Troika. I then waited in line for Disaster Transport up until the top of the stairs when the ride broke down from mechanical reasons. With the park closing soon, I headed over to see the Starlight Experience for the first time this season. I personally think that adding rope light to some of the signs made it look unprofessional. Also, with the addition of Shoot the Rapids, it opened up a lot of the area, not as dark as last years. That was it for my day, got plenty of rides in for it being a busy Memorial Day weekend.

You can use Coasterbuzz to post your day in pictures. I'm sure a link to that would be okay.

I re-posted the full text portion of the trip report here, but I still included the link so people can view the pictures that go along with it. Hope this is OK now.
