So I decided to got to cedar point for the evening, not expecting to get on much with it being a Friday. Boy was I wrong. When I arrived, the parking lot was half full and right then I realized that it was going to be a great evening.

I started off with a ride on Wicked Twister with about a 5 minute wait. This was around 5:45. Next, I made my way over to Gatekeeper and decided to ride the right side because before I rode the left. After a 15 minute wait, I was able to sit in the second row and after getting off, went on again, this time the left side row five.

I then began to make a loop around the par with my next ride being Iron dragon with a 5 minute wait, Mantis where I just walked on, and Millenium where I waited a half hour. Continuing on, I wanted to ride Maverick but it was broken so I was unable to. I rode CCMR and waited 5 minutes. I noticed Sky Hawk was running one side and wanted to get a ride in on that but unfortunately, it was closed after my ride on CCMR.

I continued around the park, skipping Mean Streak because I didn't want a head ache, so I made my way to Gemini which was only running the red train (At outstanding intervals with absolutely no stacking, the crew did a great job) and only waited 5 minutes. I then rode Magnum with a 10 minute wait and at 9:00, started heading back to the front of the park. Rode Gatekeepers right side again only having to wait ten minutes and then headed over to the Blue Streak area. There I rode Blue streak, walking on again, and Calypso.

With it being 10:07, I started to head out, thinking all the rides were closed, but again, I was wrong and walked right up to the station and rode Raptor.

This was one of the best trips to The Point mainly due to the fact that there were not many people there. I noticed that the hospital haunted house had a new exterior (Could this be our new haunted attraction?)

Also, can anybody explain to me why nobody was there? I mean, it was a Friday night with perfect weather. It did not make much sense to me.

I wondered where everyone was last night! Maybe the day's heat caused last of folks to tire early? Was a great night to be at the park. Got three rides on on MF after closing for ERT, whisk was more crowded than I expected given the light crowds.

I was there Friday night as well. Arrived at 7, got to ride Blue Streak, Cedar Downs, Raptor, Wicked Twister, Gatekeeper, Gemini, Magnum, and Millennium x3 (2 times during ERT)

how busy was ert, could you have done more than 2 rides

I did 4 laps. A great evening at the park. Light crowds.

Yeah I could have done a few more but I got home at 1am as it was.
