Cedar Point Report: 5/19/03

My day started out good with a pretty short line at Power Tower Turbo Drop. My brother screamed but he said he liked it. Then, because my brother who didn't like coasters is starting to like it, we headed over to Corkscrew. The waiting sign said that it was a 15 minute wait. It was more like 2 minutes. But we had fun with our first loop of the day. Then we headed forward through the park to Magnum. My brother, just so you know, was measured as 4"6' at home. My brother wanted to go to, on the way to Magnum XL-200, to the Witch's Wheel. A 54 inch ride. Apparently, we measured him wrong, he is 53 and 9/10. The Magunam wait was 30 minutes, and it was worth the wait. At the top of Magnum though we saw only the Red train running. When we went over there we found a 2 HOUR LINE!?! We skipped Gemini. So we headed over to my personal favorite wooden coaster, Mean Streak. The wait was 30 minutes and it was a fun ride, as always. We had a 30 dollar lunch of 4 burgers, 4 fries, and 2 pops. Crazy Cedar Point. We had an hour wait in Mantis. During Mantis all eyes we on Top Thrill Dragster. It hasn't run it an hour. Amazingly, since my brother isn't 54 inches, they let him on the ride and he was safe. After Mantis luckly we saw TTD running. Then we ran over to Iron Dragon and had a quick ride. Then over to Raptor. My brother, who made it on Mantis safely and who's favorite ride is Raptor, couldn't go on this. It was an hour long wait. The ride was great, of course! Then we headed over to Wicked Twister. Wicked Twister is fun and my brother liked it, so we all had fun. MILLENIUM FORCE!!! The best steel roller coaster in the world. We waited for an hour and half to ride my favorite ride once again. It was as fun as it was last year. But then, the worst experience I ever had at Cedar Point, Top Thrill Dragster. (At this this it is 6:00) I really wanted to ride the new ride (my brother didn't.) It was a 3 hour hour wait and I really didn't care. About 1 hour into waiting it broke down. People (including me) were yelling at them. ONE HOUR LATER, the entire station erupts in happiness and clapping. They fixed it!!!! They launch two test runs and they work fine! At this time we are about 20 minutes from the station. Almost there.... As soon as they start loading people on it, it breaks down again. 5 minutes later my brother and mom come and I reluctantly leave my place in line to go home.

Overall Trip Rating: 6/10
