My Roller Coaster Story.

My son wanted to share this with you! ::smile:: :

I am Keith and I am 10 years old. My first roller coaster was the Iron Dragon. My second roller coaster was the Magnum XL200. My third roller coaster was the Wild Cat. What roller coaster do you think I should do next? I want to start out smaller.

When I was seven and rode the Magnum it was because I thought the lift hill took too long to get up. When my mom said "Either walk through, or sit down and buckle up." I decided to sit down and buckle up. It was kinda scary. Now I don't know which roller coaster to ride next because that one was pretty big.

Blue Streak and then Gemini :), Then maybe corkscrew - not too fast, but a few times upside down (ahh to be 10 again!)

I would suggest the Disastor Transport because this was my second coaster (after The Iron Dragon) and it made me realize that if you really want to ride a coaster, but are to afraid...just close your eyes. You can see how it feels on DT. And don't worry because personally, I think Magnum is as bad as they get at CP.

CP is the best!! I will never stop loving it. You gotta, you wanna, you have to hold on Cedar Point HOLD ON!!! :) :) :)

Keith,

You're pretty brave to ride Magnum! How about giving the Mine Ride a spin? That used to be my favorite when I was your age. After that, maybe go for Gemini. It's only about half as tall as Magnum, and it's a lot of fun because you race the other train! When you are ready to go upside down, Corkscrew would be a great ride to start out on. It's fun, but you go upside down only three times, so you can get used to that feeling.

It's very hard to drink all day...
Unless you start first thing in the morning.

I will relay the message to my son and have him get back with you... he's sleeping right now. Thanks so much for your responses!!! ::smile:: I am sure he'll be thrilled to hear these!!!

Aww, :)
Well my first roller coaster was corkscrew with my dad and I thought I was so brave. Your son has already rode Magnum so he's done it all! lol.

My first coaster was Scooby Doo's Ghoster Coaster at Carowind's but back on the topic, Blue Streak was always a good medium between the "small" and "large" coasters here. It's running especially well this year, so pointing him in that direction wouldn't be a bad idea.

Keith: Thanks a lot for your replies. I'm not going to lay a finger on the MF. I might try the Mine Ride I guess, and the corkscrew. Gemini will be like in 10 years. Blue streak, probably like 2 years. I already rode DT.

Hi Keith!

My 11-year old daughter, Grace, gets butterflies whenever we go on the bigger coasters. She likes when I count out loud as we reach the crest of the hill. She knows now that we'll be down before I get to "5" Last year she wanted to try the Magnum, and REALLY wanted a picture. The first time she hated the picture, because she look terrified. The second time we looked the wrong way. The third time we planned to blow bubbles with our gum. Her thirteen-year old sister's bubble was awesome. Grace, however, just looks like she's sticking out her tongue. You can see the photos in our yahoo album. http://photos.yahoo.com/imtowanda Just click on the Cedar Point album.

Our son, James, (now 8) is a little dare devil who can't wait to ride MF. He was mad yesterday because he's not tall enough for WT. He tried switching shoes with an older friend, so he'd be taller. I asked the attendant to explain why they have height rules. (He had him try to sit in the seat, so he'd see that he could slide right under. That convinced him that it's dangerous.)

Grace loves Iron Dragon and the Mine Ride, as well as Disaster Transport.. She also really likes Corkscrew. I recommned you ride them a lot, and soon you'll get used to the feeling, and then you'll want a bigger thrill. Before you know it, you'll be ready for Millennium. We'll meet you there!

Towanda!
