My buddy and i decided to go on a last minute trip to Cedar Point for Saturday.. so we thought it would be a good idea to get there early(8:00 A.M)...when we showed up there was a line at the front gate. We waited for the gates to open and we took off running straight for Maverick, but we did not make it there. We got stopped at the entrance for Raptor cause there was still an hour left in the ERT for the morning( should have thought about that ahead of time but didn't). as we waited in another line we meet a few people. the played God Bless America over the PA and then it was off to the races.
We ran all the way to the back of the park passing everyone that was a head of us in line. there was an hour wait for maverick. i was surprised to see how big maverick really was because the pictures on here just don't do the justice.
Rode in the back row. great seat.... The first drop is amazing , total air time all the way down.. Zero gravity threw the horse shoe roll. there was no mist in the tunnel but the lighting effects were sweet.. the water bombs were timed almost perfect with the passing trains.
Got off the train a noticed that my shoulders were bashed up pretty good i had a red line about 4 inches long on my right shoulder was not sure if it was from sitting in the right side or what. didn't bother me till later on in the day after the sun was beating down on it..
My friend and i only got in 6 rides all day due to the enormous amounts of people in the park that day.. but it was still loads of fun. the wait for millennium were not bad about an hour and a half which was good compared to some other wait times.
When it got dark out the families were starting to clear the park . We wanted to make the last ride maverick do we go and wait about the same time as the morning ride.. i was surprised at how fast the line moves... rode in the back again on the left this time .. did not get bashed as hard as the morning run but it could feel it. I think it was because i was burnt from the sun and i was ready for the pool. The tunnel effects were 2x's better then during the day you could see all the light on the side and the strobe at the end blinds you as you go bye very cool
all and all it was the best trip i had at the park all together i think it was because we did not spend are time waiting in line we spent it more walking around the park people watching and drinking....
did i mention that it was VERY HOT almost to hot to be there but it was fun
