I know you guy probly won't remember me, i havn't been on here for a long time. But this is a VERY VERY VERY happy time for me. IT is almost summer vacation for me which means it's almost time for me to got to the point. doesn't mean much for you guys, but for me it's almost profilling a life ambition, wait it is like that. Ever since i was six i been utterly, and totaly obsessed with coasters. When i was seven i heard about a park with the most rides, coasters in the world! Although my love for parks, and especially coasters has grown to an unmeasurable level since then, i have always wanted to go to Cedar Point. It was kinda of like being a kid dreaming about becoming a rockstar, you know it wil never happen, but you still dream about it. It was like that with me about going to cedar point. it wasn't untill just recently i had even had a remote chance of going to cp. I am 13 now, and about 2 years ago my family decided we were going to go on a family vacation. We couldn't figure out where to go untill we decided to go cedar point. i dreamed about going there everyday for almost a year, obsessing about getting there and seing magnum, blue streak, and all the other coasters, then riding them. I was supposed to go there on summer vaction that year. But when it got about a month from summer vacation, my dreams started to fade, as financial problems quickly ruled out any chance of me going there. It seemed as if every time we get some money somthing happened, and we lossed it. there was still a glimmer of hope of going, as we got just enough money saved to go. Then on the way home from work, my dad's car broke down. I knew what would happen, we would have to drain our savings to fix it. Sure enough, that's what happened. It felt like a giant part of me had been torn out when i found out we wern't going. every day of the vacation, i slowly slipped into my self created deppresion, as i looked at this forum thinking how i could be at CP, at that second on magnum, or raptor, or some other coaster. then half way through this school year, my parents started to consider yet another attempt to go somewhere. the whole cycle started over again. Then sure enough when i got so obsessed about going there i couldn't stand it anymore the same problems started to repete themselves. To make a long story short, my parents decided, we couldn't go. Untill they had the idea of just letting me and my dad(who is the only one eho ride anything with me) go. it all worked out untill my dad gave away a week of his vacation time to someone else who's father had just died. We were left with the same dilemma. We finally had to end up making reservations for a day and a half bus ride both ways to get there, and have two days there. Finally there is hope. Now i anciously await the day i go in about a month. I finally know that nothing can happen, and i will actullay get to go!!!!!! So, yes this is a very special time for me. sorry for wasting your time:-)
