As soon as we got to the Point, we checked in to Breakers Express. A pretty nice hotel, considering the price. We arrived at the front gates around 9:45. I had to wait about 30 minutes to get my season pass (which doesn't seem all that bad). Finally, we got in the park around 11:00. We marked down all of the rides in a little log book, so here goes:

1. Blue Streak
2. Mantis
3. Iron Dragon
4. Mean Streak
5. Cedar Creek Mine Ride
6. Magnum XL-200

11. Magnum XL-200 (2nd)

Sun. May 15, 2005
We arrived at the Soak City parking lot around 9:00, so we were one of the first people in the park. A little apprehensive, I decided I was going on Dragster for the first time, first thing in the morning. We ended up being on the first train out, and, let me tell you, TTD is intense. Of course, looking down at Millennium Force is really fun. ;)
1. Top Thrill Dragster (1st time ever)
2. Wildcat
3. Millennium Force
4. Iron Dragon (2nd)
(had lunch at Johnny Rockets around 11:45)
5. Wicked Twister (2nd)
6. Millennium Force (2nd)
7. Magnum XL-200 (3rd)
8. maXair (1st time ever)
(Sidenote: maXair makes a great addition to the park. What surprised me the most was the fact that there was almost no dizziness involved.)
9. Raptor (3rd)
10. Raptor (4th)
11. Raptor (5th) Heck, the lines were short... ;)
12. maXair (2nd)
13. Space Spiral (2nd)
14. Disaster Transport (2nd)
15. Magnum XL-200 (4th)
Overall, it was a great weekend. The weather cooperated for the most part, with a few sprinkles the first day, and a little chilly the second.
And if you managed to read this far, congratulations. :)

I rode Top Thrill Dragster for the first time this weekend as well. I also got my first ride on Millennium Force. Sounds like you had as much fun as we did.
October 13 - Finally!
Top Thrill Dragster - 15
Millennium Force - 15
Just noticed on the "Very Sad Sign" thread that TTD closed around 11:00 Sunday morning and hasn't reopened since. We probably got some of the only TTD rides in that day. :)
