Cedar Point Dreams

I guess if any ride were to fly into the lake, Ocean Motion would be the best choice. Being a boat and all.

I had this weird dream last night that I went to Cedar Point just to see what was going on up there. The weird thing was even though it was cold everywhere else, it was warm up at Cedar Point. Every roller coaster was starting to do their testing except for Millennium Force and Top Thrill Dragster.

Sounds like typical preopening day preparations. :)

There are days when I go to cedar point, then come home to crash on the couch. But when I fall asleep, I dream of something totally different from anything I've done that whole day!

I wish i could dream of CP more often, but I guess you get what you get ;)

I had another dream last night, wasn't the greatest dream, but it was a dream, none the less.

Basically, Windseeker wasn't the new ride after all, the new ride was a Flyer, Yellow Track, with Black Cars. One of the hills went sideways across the midway above the entrance gate, it was almost a parking lot coaster.

I remember walking under the hill to the midway carosaul, turning around and seeing the hill. But that wasn't what my dream was about.

I was going around showing everyone to ignore all the test seats. Every one of them had seat belts 12 inches too long. So even if you fit in the test seat, you wouldn't fit in the ride seats. I was walking the walk-of-shame in my dream on every roller coaster with a test seat. I didn't fit in any coaster, so I didn't even try to ride the new flyer, I knew I wasn't going to fit.

Then I woke up. ---- I have to loose weight real soon. . . :)

I had another odd dream a couple nights ago, and Cedar Point built this odd waterslide that was where Demon Drop once was and where Ocean Motion is going now, and the waterslide ended in the middle of the parking lot. So, my friend and I climbed the stairs to the top, and half way up, there was a restroom and little rest area with a television for whatever reason, and two senior citizens were fighting on what to watch. When we got to the top, these two employees tied us together with the yellow rope, and pushed us down the slide. Then, at the end of the slide, we landed in the pavement, sliding across it, and stopped by hitting a car. I had this major road rash, and broke my leg, so I had to go the hospital. And once the ambulance came, I woke up...

I had a dream about processing in to housing...it was tons of paperwork and everything was in an assembly line format. I had to get toiletries and blankets in different lines.
I think this was the lamest dream I have ever had about Cedar Point.

Haven't I met you in the park once? I remember you telling me your pointbuzz name and i think it was you.....I just forgot where we were when we met, tho. ;)

Miss Maverick07,

Yes, we did meet in the park one time, at dragster, opening day, one year. The wait was over 2-3 hours, because of rollbacks. You enlightened my son and me about the workings of Mantis, and morning start up, I believe.

We started talking about eggs, meaning, the the dragster cars always made it "over-easy". It seems we met 0g from pointbuzz that day too, he got a roll-back in the car in front of the one I was in.

but its been 2 to 4 years ago.

Hope it doesn't scare you that I remember that day. . . :)

Hope, I didn't mix up the story with other people I've met either.

Eggs?...........Did I have too many beers that morning? lol

I dont remember that, but now that you mention it, I remember being at TTD with a bunch of others and you. Sorry if I sounded like a coaster geek, ;)

Do you remember what I looked like? I also had my good friend with me, she used to work at the park, at mantis/raptor, thats why we prob. talked about it.....

Miss Maverick07,

Its been a while, I doubt I would be able to recognize you in a crowd, or in passing. I do remember you were with someone that day. I didn't remember she too worked at cedar point. Although I can remember events clearly; when I meet people, and they come up to me years later, I have no idea who they are.

Talking about Mantis was very interesting to me and my son, it made time pass while waiting. We like to find out how things work. :)

I have a repeated dream of CP that all of the larger coasters like Millie and Mavvie are all in the front and all of the smaller coasters are in the back. The food is 10 times cheaper and the games are free. It is one of the best dreams I have.

I haven't had an amusement park dream in months. Hopefully that'll change in a few weeks...

If I dream about Cedar Point, it usually has to do with me getting lost to the entrance to the new ride. Before Maverick's opening was postponed, I had a dream that I couldn't find the entrance and everyone was laughing at me. I don't like those dreams..........

I had a dream that TTD was being shot up the opposite side of the track.. it was quite odd but fun!

It happened again, a weird dream about Windseeker. It's definately fear driven, which is part of the fun.

All of the Windseeker seats were equipped with automatic parachutes... Yes! Parachutes; so when the arms broke off while spinning, the parachute would open, and the people would float softly to the ground.

The parachutes were located on the back side of every seat.

Yea I know, hurry up an open so we can ride. :)

Sounds like somebody's unconsciously getting their rides mixed up:

Last night I had my first (and hopefully only) dream featuring a cameo by Jeff:

I was a new hire at CP, as a sweep, and a long time worker showed me the ropes around the park0. After a while, my feet started to get tired, and I complained. She then led me to the basement of some maintenance building, where she and other sweeps liked to sneak off to for an unofficial break.

While I was exploring this old basement loaded up with junk, Jeff walked in. He took one look at me, then found a pair of boxing gloves. He put the gloves on and pulled the laces tight. Then, without warning, he punched me hard in the face.

"If you want to keep playing in the band and get rich with the rest of us, that's fine," he told me. "But please stop saying every damn thing that comes into your brain."

I've had several CP dreams over the years, and most of them have a similar concept. I'm there with a family member or friend who has never actually been there. The park always has a circular midway with all the actual rides, just not necessarily in the correct locations. The crowd size is always astronomical in my dreams. Of course, I'm just trying to show my companion a good time...

The worst CP dream I've had involved Millennium Force derailing. For some reason, my son went on MF without me. I was watching from somewhere near the exit path. The train came off the track before entering the final tunnel and landed on the midway near the joint that makes the funnel cakes. There was a huge crashing sound as the train landed completely upside down. Fortunately, yet mysteriously, my son was not hurt as I remember running up to the train, lying upside down on the midway, and asking him if he was OK. He was... lol

Have you ever had dreams about Cedar Point? Lately my dreams involve me going to the park during the off-season to see how the roller coasters look along with looking at the new attraction/rides. The dreams I have lately are Cedar Point actually going thru with removing Rougarou and sending it to another park. Maybe this is going to happen in the future. I just hope and pray that it goes to a smaller park like Valley Fair or Michigan Adventure's.
