For all you people out there that don’t like to read huge paragraphs, this trip report will be in list form!
Driving there: Stupid drivers! Driving on 4 from Bucyrus to Sandusky and got passed 10 times while driving 57 MPH! This is the first time that I’ve ever driven to CP before. I thought 4-2-6 would be a nice, Sandusky-avoiding route. NO! Road-construction on 2!
Space Spiral: Get an air conditioner!
Power Tower: At 10:20, the turbo drop was an actual walkon. But the ever-sadistic ride ops had to drop us the exact second that the other turbo drop tower finished the slow climb to the top so they could see us drop!
Magnum: Walkon, sort of. Then stuff got more crowded.
Witches’ Wheel: The giant Matterhorn is still here.
Mean Streak: This ride was actually not painful at all! The secret is to hold on the grab bar and use it to support some of your weight. I’ll be riding this on my next trip!
Schwabenchen or however you spell it: Whoa – a flat ride with airtime! Be sure not to miss this if you haven’t ridden it before.
Macaroni’s: Around 11:30 there were empty tables. By the time we got out, it was VERY crowded. Eat early!
Dippin’ Dots: EAT DIPPIN DOTS EARLY AND OFTEN!!!!!!!!!11111
Millennium Force: Still Millennium Force!
Iron Dragon: It’s rough this year!
Giant Wheel: Still there!
Disaster Transport: A bunch of special effects are back!!!!! You can see the satellite and the parts of the exploding ship. I especially like the facts that the tunnels are pitch-black and the rooms are slightly lit. You can actually see that you’re going into a dark tunnel. The odd thing that I noticed was in the queue. Right before the repair bay, you can see a pipe with “DK 2001” written on it. Does DK refer to a certain VIP? Anyone else see this?
Raptor: The cats are there – near the bottom of the lift.
Disaster Transport: We had to admire the effects again.
Super Himalaya: Bring back the character signs!!! It took me a really long time to find the name of the ride, because I forgot what the ride was called and the info is hard to find on the new signs!
Chaos: Wow – a ride op that didn’t sound bored with giving the spiel!
Gemini: Rough ride, but more good ride ops! I know what my new signature on GTTP is going to be: If you’re standing on the yellow line, you are VIOLATING Ohio Revised Code 1711.551…
Chuck Wagon: This is, undoubtedly, the strangest thing that I’ve ever seen at CP. Actually, I didn’t see it, because I’m not female. My sister went into the bathroom at the restaurant. Standing there was an employee, eating corn on the cob. "I’m not eating corn in the bathroom!" she said…
The train: New scenes are there!
Sky Ride: Better than walking.

I rode Magnum 5 times and MF once with Robin Innes.
Gemini 100
It's Dan K's fault.
Yeah, I noticed the "DK 2001" way back in June...I just forgot to mention it here. I kept seeing that on those air duct pipes, trying to figure out what the heck it meant...:)
There are other pipes with DK **** written on them, but the other numbers aren't near 2001. I wonder if Dan K is it.
