Realization

That was bad. ;)

Josh, you're showing your age. :)

I believe it was when my brother went for his 8th grade trip back in 1980, I never even heard of the place before, I was in 6th grade. The only park I have ever been too was Volmar's Park, on the Maumee River.

My brother got back from Cedar Point, with a map, and talked, and talked, and I had to wait until I was in 8th grade, 2 years later to go (1982).

Ever since my 8th grade trip, I went about once every 2 years, then my son got old enough in 1998 and have been there at least one a year since.

Oh yea, And having a website to goto everyday helps alot!

We went every summer for as long as I can remember. Since we stayed all weekend at Camper Village, it was a huge event to look forward to. I've always been hooked. I still remember crying when my family forced me on Corkscrew. LOL!! I vividly remember standing on the midway where Dragster now stands looking at the hill of Cork and saying "The hill is too big!" Ahhhh, those were the days.

1989, 4 years old. I rode magnum with my dad :)

(yes, I was actually tall enough to ride at 4 years old. My parents hated paying full price for me when I was 3 and too scared to ride - but that didnt last long.

Bwah-hah-hah. Excuse me while I contain my mirth.

Everybody's a comedian. ;)

I'd offer a comeback, but I never saw Blossom. I was too busy watching Alf.

Thanks CP DAD!

I was starting to feel old with 1969! LOL Let's see, back then there was the Blue Streak, Mill Race, Upsidedown Funhouse, and the first Wildcat.

Hehe, you oldtimers think you're sooooo funny. ;)

I do miss the fun house, mill race and I'm not sure about the 1st wildcat. Was it wild mouse? I find myself using that for wildcat for some reason. I also call big dipper at GL the clipper 'cause that was the name that stuck with me early on before they changed it. I did ride Jumbo Jets, Corkscrew and Gemini during their debut seasons. It's amazing, those were my TTD's at the time!

I would have to say 1870..

haha..ok really..probably 2001..I think, because I became really interested and started following the Wicked Twister construction.

For me it was Regan.

I took a bit of a hiatus in the late 90's but my love for CP is stronger now than it has ever been. And now it is being fueled by two guys I work with that keep asking me when the next CP trip is!
