I'll actually put time and thought into this Trip Report. :)
We picked up Chris at 10:30 then picked up my mom at 11. We headed our journey from Akron to Sandusky. We got there around1:0and The Mill Force (my new name for The Force) seemed higher and faster than before. This was my family's first trip to the Point this year, Chris and myself were visiting for the second (Chris didn't ride It earlier). Chris complained he didn't want to ride It first, so we went to my girlfriend Magnum and rode her. We treated ourselves to two 5 minute waits, sitting ejector then last car-front. Didn't notice anything tooout of the ordinary, still gave an awesome, out of control ride. We then headed to The Mill Force. We got in the 2 hour line and waited. I could swear the ride looked a lot faster than before. When we were home free, (home free is a term we give when you are almost on, usually a set of stairs. On The Mill Force, its the ramp) Chris started to freak out and I freaked him out more by saying all this crazy stuff. When we got in the station, I made him sit on the side w/ out the stairs making him more scared. We sat 6-1. On the way up, he was freaking out and said, "Mike, are we almost there yet?" I shouted right in his face "NO!" When we got to the top he put his arms up and left him there. Still the very best experience on this whole planet. Chris bought the photo and we met my mom, dad, and brother. We headed down the Trail and got some Los Gatos Tacos. We went back to Magnum and got my anti-coaster brother to ride. We sat 3-1, where my Magnum riding began, waiting 20 minutes. He liked it, but said Apollo's Chariot was better. You can't please them all. We walked around a while and the rains came. Everything shut down so we went to Breakers Express. We stayed there for a few hours where we played 3 of my top 4 arcade games: Hydro Thunder, Crazy Taxi, and Blitz. On the way back to the room, I saw a very wet couple. I asked about CP and they said they were reopining the rides. We ran back to the room, got my mom and dad up, and hurryed back to the Point. We hit Raptor waiting only 10 minutes. I got the Death Seat. Chris and mom's first ride on Raptor pleased them. "Way better than Aplenbeast" they both said. We went back to The Mill Force and actually got my brother in line. The circle said 1 3/4 hours. We where at about the hour mark when it started to downpour. Ride kept on going. Ride stoped. Ride went back on UNTIL.....we were close to gettin on. Power Failure. The train stopped on the brakes and they had to get people off...except for the back car. They were awarded an extra ride ride, where they chose the front. This is complicated, and I still don't understand. But it somehow made me, a useless roller coaster rider, first in front of everyone. The guy said, any seat you want. I ran towards the front, mom and dad sitting behind, Chris and brother sitting ejector. I rode alone, starring up the incline. It was a great view. Other than the first drop and second turn, I would rather be sitting in the middle. We got off, myself speachless over my luck. Family loved it, even Mom. We headed back to Magnum where there where only THREE people in the whole station. Chris and I got back, my favorite seat on her, while brother waited for front. After that, we ran around and sat somewhere in the middle. We ran around to Mantis and had a walk-on back seat. Mom and dad opted not to ride, they had heard horror stories of it hurting your back. Nice ride, good loop. It was 11:45 so we got into The Line. Mom and Dad waited outside the exit and slept on the bench. Chris and I chose 6-2, brother got 2-2. I cheated and got about and inch and a half of clearance. Let me say it makes a world of difference. On the Peter Tickler hills, your butt raises at the peak and doesn't get back down until the pullout. It was awsome. We headed back to our hotel, woke up the next morning and had an awesome meal at Margaritaville.

I don't know............It was a blue shirt and I was with this tall kid with a creed shirt. Speaking of the Force line, there were these two very unattractive girls that were about 12. They kept starring at us so Chris said it's not nice to stare in a wierd voice. It was awesome.
