August 22nd-25th

First off this was the best trip I have ever had to Cedar Point. No clue why though. Anyway here are the totals.

TTD-3

MF-3

MXL-5

WT-7

Raptor-10

MS-2

Gemini-3

BS-1

DD-3

PT-5 drop 1 shot up

Maxair-7

Stayed at Breakers and had good service. One of the surprising things of this trip was that I no longer think MF is my No. 1 coaster. After 15 rides it seems to be losing its touch, as well as TTD. At the same time though I am starting to love WT, Raptor and Maxair.

Highlights of the trip, Getting last train of the night on TTD and MF, shot waits. Meeting a guy who has ridden MF 667 (or something like that) times and the great weather we had.

And another person comes to their senses. Give me Raptor, Magnum, or Wicked Twister over MF any day.

Amen.

I don't like to ride MF and TTD more than once unless there's a 15 minute or less wait for them. Raptor, Gemini, Blue Streak, and other rides can be ridden over and over again and never get bored. I'm not a big fan of MF (don't really know why) and riding TTD more than once might make it feel boring (and I don't want that).

I agree, Wicked Twister has become one of my favorite rides, I always kinda neglected it. And Blue Streak and Raptor never get boring.

Dragster is boring. I still get a good rush from Millennium Force.

Dragster may be less interesting, Ben, but I sure wouldn't call it boring!

Ben, I will agree with you that dragster isn't as good as the first time but it still gives a rush. In fact MF and TTD are about the same to me on the rush side. The difference is MF keeps going after the great rush and becomes boring.

Booorrrriinnnnnggggg ;)

Ok fine.......... Less boring. ;)

Sorry, I find NOTHING boring about MF or TTD. Or any rollercoaster, for that matter.

Sitting at work typing at a computer screen...now that's a different matter.

MrScott

Though I disagree with both of you, but I in no way can see TTD being boring nor can anyone else other than Ben. I guess the 120mph and straight down 420 feet is just a walk in the park or something.

It's like the grandpa who always says he walked 15 miles in the snow to go to school everyday.

I like the 420 foot drop. I hate the 270 degree turn. I'll take Xcelerator any day over Dragster. I dunno, I guess the novelty of Dragster wore off. I only have around 60-65 rides (maybe 70?) on it. It has gone from Must Ride to 'meh, whatever' in the course of a season.

I'd much rather ride Magnum or Millennium Force or even Gemini Raptor Meanstreak or Wicked Twister.

My latest trip brewed up a love between me and Dragster. I rode it once last October and it was my only ride ever on it, but I rode it yesterday morning in the front and this morning and it's growing on me. I love the launch, this morning I managed to see the speed, 122mph. I don't think Millennium Force will ever get old. I only get about 5 rides on it per year, if that and there 2-3 months between each trip.

I understand what you're saying, but TTD can't be boring, maybe not as thrilling after many rides, but again 'not boring'.
