First '03 visit--First ride??

Another one of those yearly questions I know.....and maybe a dumb one at that considering TTD but........

On your first visit to the park, what will you ride first?

As for me, for the past 4 years it has been Raptor 1st and that will be NO different this season :)
(and the more people that head for TTD, the more Raptor rides for me!!! ;))

It's all about getting around the barrels, or over the fences, right leads, no faults, fastest time and looking pretty when done. What's so hard about that? :)

As you said, I will ride TTD first. I plan on arriving at about 9 to get in with Joe Cool Club and hopefully the line will be minimal.

Honest truth told to me by marina gate readmissions host:

Host: Hand stamped, two cents.

Me: That's cool, I think I have two cents.

Host: I better not take it, by the time you leave here its all you'll have.

I really don't think that I can get enough willpower together to ride TTD yet! It's been YEARS since I've been to the point, so I think I'll be hitting MF first, followed by Wicked Twister (still not sure on that one...), and THEN maybe TTD if I can manage to get in line without passing out!

Maggie....its always been Maggie. it was the first thing i ever rode at CP and will always hold that spot.

also, it doesnt hurt that we always stay at Breakers so she's right there...

hehehe

it aint the size of the arrow, its what you do with the bow....

I'll ride my Maggie. After saying "Magnum What?" after riding S:ROS I have to give my baby some love.

------------------

Sorry Maggie, but S:ROS blew me away.

TDD by way of Joe Cool. With luck, I'll get ONE token lap on TDD before heading out into the rest of the park ;)

I wish I had a traditonal first ride, but I'm one of those people who have to run to the new one. I'm hoping to get at least one TTD ride during JCC time, and be in line for a second ride before the public gets in.

My only opening day tradition that I have is I have to eat lunch at Silver Dollar.

I'm going in June and get there mid-day on Sunday. My first ride is and always has been Blue Streak. It's a tradition but if I were to get there before the park opens it would be TTD.

Does it stop at 420 feet in the air.......?¿?
No you still have to spiral down

Well my first ride is usually Raptor, but I'm making an exception this year for TTD.

Wow! Are you kidding? MID-DAY in JUNE on a SUNDAY, youve got some balls man...I would never be able to do that.

Well, I will be hitting CP in June and my first ride is going to be TTD.

It's just something you gotta do....

Last year it was Blue Streak, usually we ride Magnum first, but I think we may go with Millennium Force as our first ride of the season, since it was our last ride last season.

I Met Brittney! Shes SOOOOOO Cool!

Definitely Dragster.

Enjoy your ride on the big bad bug

I usually go on Disaster Transport first.....But didnt get to the point last year. This year it will be WT then DP or vice versa.

It'll be Top Thrill Dragster opening day, no doubt. Of course, I'll have my daughter with me, and she has bad luck with new rides. MF went down her first trip that year (red train rolled back), and last year her first trip was Coastermania, and everyone remembers WT's state that day.

Maybe the third time's the charm.

------------------
Without upstops, airtime would have a whole new meaning!

I will be hauling some major butt to get inline for TTD with my Joe Cool Club card in hand to get a half hour jump on the GP! yay!

i don't really have a first ride of the day. it used to be Magnum like 10 times in a row, then gemeni a few times maybe back to magnum or to Meanstreak. but this yeah my first trip down will be TTD, most likely everyother time i go, the first ride i go on will be mine ride cause my girlfriend like rollerfcoasters but she has to "warm up" to the bigger rides. Last year i got her to go on all the coasters minus Millennium Force and Wicked twister because she was scared and Mantis because i/we didn't want to wait that long.

------------------
Besides the great rides and being the best of everything, the best part about Cedar Point is that it isn't Six Flags! YAY!

I will be ridding Demon Drop first, then while all of you are on Top Thrill Dragster, I will be riding the Force of the Millennium, Raptor and Magnum. After that I will hit the Drag Queen.
