Hey everyone!
I went to Cedar Point for the third time on July 24, July 25 , and July 26 and
oh it is better than ever. I still love all of the coasters and it is still my
favorite overall park. I stayed at the Hotel Breakers, so i could take a short
walk to the park without paying for parking or anything,staying on property is
really conveniant! Instead of doing a whole report on what happened i will just
review the coasters and some of the thrill rides. Roller Coasters:
Millennium Force
This Coaster is still FANTASTIC..with a fast paced horrifying lift (for first
time riders that is) with an amazing 300 foot drop that feels like your going
to fly straight out of your seat,this ride is still my number one coaster
overall. The speed is amazing, it mantains 93 mph to 65 mph the whole ride.
Last year i didnt get to ride front,but now that you can wait for it i did and
it is better! The wind in your face is so extreme. How could ANYONE say this
coaster has no airtime:? That is ridiculous because the ride has 4 drops full
of airtime.. I got on 5 times everytime great. This Coaster is GREAT. Grade:
A++++++++++++++++++
Magnum XL 200
This is still a very big and exciting coaster. With two large hills and great
tunnels and the awesome airtime finale, with also a great view of lake eerie.
Grade: A+
Raptor
I actually got one walk on this,and thats pretty strange, Raptor is still a
very disorienting and fun ride. The paint job looks good as well too. The loops
and differnet element and the helix finale i also really like. Grade: A Minus
Mantis
Last year it wasnt as good as it used to be,but this year it seemed to
improved. My ride near the back row was ALOT more exciting than it was last
year and the first drop may have a trim brake,but oh well., this is a great
coaster. Grade: A Minus
Mean Streak
Last year i remember this being a real fun coaster,not as bad as everyone says.
But on the green train,the ride was kind of a little more slow but still fun.
But then as i rode the Gold Train,what i remember being VERY rough, was just a
little bumpy and very fast! This isnt a bad coaster. Grade: B+
Gemini
This coaster has the funniest ride ops in the world. There was one time an arabian dude was saying stuff like "did you like the ride or not??!!" and "come ride again..too bad were closed for 10 minutes!" and then later a dude "going gemini the ride that makes you go WEEEEEE!!!" and the girl working at the circuit board saying "too much fun: over and voer and ober. Both rides on this i was
cracking up. I rode the red train both times,the first drop is really good and
the last turn is VERY suprising. Lots of airtime too! grade: B+
Blue Streak
WOW! Was this coaster suprising this year! Go on front row on this ride,leave
the lap bar up an extra click and you get AMAZING airtime on the second and
third hill! I tried the back row too and it wasnt as good as the front row for
air,thats strange Grade: A Minus Front Row Only,Rest B+
Corkscrew
This ride is pretty fun. Three decent loops and a second drop with very
suprising air. Grade: B Minus
Disaster Transport
With CP being my favorite park,at my first visit in 1999 i always though DT was
just a boring space mountain rip off,being the only thing i didnt like about
the park. I like it ALOT more now,VERY short,but still fun! Grade: B Minus
Cedar Creek Mine Ride
This ride isnt very fast, but it has a nice long track with some parts of
speed.. Pretty Fun Ride Grade: C+
Wildcat
This is a coaster that always has a line thats pretty long for a wild mouse.
Still a fun ride thats not too short. Grade: C+
Iron Dragon
This is my least favorite coaster at the park,but still has decent swinging and
a niee relaxing ride through the woods with a fast finale. Grade: C Other
Thrill Rides:
Power Tower
I always thought this ride is pretty good,now i know that it is awesome. I got
both a ride on Green and Red because i got on it right when it opened and both
a walk on! The Green has an Awesome Drop and the Red has an awesome
Launch,thats what there good for! Grade: A Minus
Demon Drop
A very loud and rough freefall ride,that is still pretty good and actually
gives me butterflies. Grade: B Minus
I also rode two flats,Chaos and Witches Wheel and they were pretty fun,
inverting flats are the best kind of flats IMO.
This park is still my favorite place, who can't like a peninsula with an
amusement park with 14 roller coasters , 68 rides, a water park, a mini
amusement park, 2 hotels on a beautiful beach and all the other amazing stuff
there. After 3 trips to SFGAm in a row,im finally making to other parks this
summer LOL. Holiday World and Indiana Beach will be my next....
Take it Easy! Brent
That arabian guy was there for Gemini when I was there too. He was the funniest of them all. "Sit up right, hold on tight, and enjoy your ride on Gemini!" CLASSIC!
