Welcome back Dodgem Dave!

MF Circuts=316
Will the addition of TTD allow me to get more rides on MF this year?

I'll try to make it. It all depends on whether or not I'm having too much fun to look at my watch, which is what happened last year.

Raptor at 3 sounds good for me. Hopefully Magnum doesn't kidnap me during that time... ;)

It's all about getting around the barrels, or over the fences, right leads, no faults, fastest time and looking pretty when done. What's so hard about that? :)

I may not have been there, but I feel like I was, everything I heard about that day... And I'm sorry. That, It, it's been a long off season. Too much car work and talk, not enough coaster talk and riding. :)

I paln on going to the park alone on opening day, would be cool to meet up with some of you guys so I wasn't alone all day! That way I would have people to tell the ride stories to!

Can i come? i am kinda new to the forum but i have been going to cedar point every season for the past 17 years or so. i grew up at cedar point and it grew up with me. i remeber when gemeni was the big one and avalanche run was new! :) i hope to be in on the fun at raptor 3pm. YAY!

------------------
Besides the great rides and being the best of everything, the best part about Cedar Point is that it isn't Six Flags! YAY!

The One 001 - You don't have to ask lol. Anyone can show up and ride with the GTTP groupies...sorry...Jo's groupies ;) lol

Does anybody have numbers on exactly how many people normally show up on an opening day compared to a regular saturday or maybe how it compares to a halloweekend day?

------------------
Opening Day, just a few long days away!

As always, no one is going to have numbers for you. It always depends on many things, including the weather.

Raptor at 3, I'll make that as well.

Honest truth told to me by marina gate readmissions host:

Host: Hand stamped, two cents.

Me: That's cool, I think I have two cents.

Host: I better not take it, by the time you leave here its all you'll have.

Incredibly, I'll be there on Sunday! I hope to hook up with you guys at Raptor, but if I don't, I'll be wearing a homemade T-shirt with Dragster, MF, and Magnum on the front with metal bands on the back. So say hi if you see me!

------------------
...and the most anticipated event of summer 2003 is...

The Matrix: Reloaded!

It is FINALLY OD!! woo hoo! :)
Since no one ever did give a definite a.m. meeting place then it looks like 3pm at Raptor for sure. I will be there o-c with my usual group of GTTP'ers/CP'ers (aka my groupies ;)) As in ODs of past I again have the ends of my hair dyed green for my baby Raptor. See you then! I can not wait to see more of my fellow CP employees and kick that Sandusky sky!!! :) :) :)

(More so since I already raced for it on Thursday ;))

Raptor @3pm I'll be there with my little posse from Michigan. See you all in 3hours and 10 mins

Bout to leave in 5 mins

Don't you hate it when you try to say something funny but only YOU laugh?

So did the meeting happen? I got in line for Raptor at around 2:40, hoping I'd be out by 3. I was out at 3:15, and I asked the guy sitting in front of the queue if he had seen a big group around 15 minutes ago, and he told me no.

So what happened?

Top Thrill Dragster: If you don't put your head back, it'll do it for you! And um, oh yeah, visit my website. I'll have some Dragster pictures tommorrow.

Man, I wish I'd have seen this a long time ago! I didn't even know about it.:(
