August 30, 2005. The remnants of Hurricane Katrina blew into Sandusky that day. I managed to get 27 rides on Millennium Force, most of them in a chilly rain. Toward the end, I was beginning to question my sanity.
I was there that day. I had been there the day before and stayed overnight at LHP and we were heading out that Tuesday (which was the 30th). We got a lot of early morning rides in but the rain came and we didn't want to get wet on account of the 2 hour car ride home.
We'll miss you MrScott and Pete
Late August or early September '04 I think we rode 8 times in one day, but we also rode all the rest of the coasters 2 or 3 times each except Jr and Woodstock since we didn't have any kids with us. I went to Silver Dollar City in October '04, and since they only had 2 coasters + Fire In The Hole (which is a darkride with 2 coaster-like drops) I think I got 18 rides of Wildfire, 10 or11 rides of FitH and 15 rides of Thunderation in about 5 or 6 hours. My body was SORE for the next few days after that. I can't imagine if I had a day like that at Cedar Point. Just taking a small break from riding while walking to the next ride makes a difference.
I managed MF 6 times in a row, (during a ERT) with them opening the gate so the walk exit station to entrance station, but on our 6th ride, the car stopped at the 270 feet up for a good 10 minutes, but after our train ran through ride it closed down, and opened later in the day to a wonderful 2.5 hour wait.
