Waiting, Waiting, And more Waiting!

Hi there guys...Just was wondering if anyone had any solutions on this seemingly endless wait for Cedar Points Opening day....I feel just like I did when I was in school...Waiting for Summer Vacation!!! I swear I have "Virtually" Rode Every single ride at least 5 times a day...(Thanks to the cedarpoint website!) I am still phyced about riding the Millennium For the first time and facing my fears!! I have looked at this website at least 20 times a day! I don't know how much more Waiting I can do?!

I would like to say though how great all of you have been in helping me face my fears!! You are all just the nicest people I have ever met online!!!

Impatiently waiting,

braden

You remind me of how I was last year and I know the exact feeling that you are having. Especially now when its so close with the rides testing and final setup. April last year was a really slow month but now to make the time go by faster I just put my mindset on something else like bands, movies, ect. . In your case I'd keep checking everything out like your doing cause it was great keeping that excitment up everyday until opening day.

Reminds me of myself in the time leading up to my first trip (last summer - 8 days). I waited for that trip for 5 looong years. Yes, I live in Denmark. Yes, I went to USA to visit Cedar Point. Yes, I felt goosebumps when I first saw a road sign saying "Sandusky". Yes, I cried quietly when I saw that Cedar Point sign leading up to the causeway. Yes, it was the best experience ever. Yes, I will return. I can´t go the next couple of years, but I still think about it every single day. ;)

Next couple of years? All of this talk must be torture!

Indeed! I have to finish my studies first, before I can afford my next trip. I´m planning on going again in 2009 ;) Luckily enough, I shot a lot of video while at the Park and in Sandusky, and I watch it very often. It´s almost like being there again :)

Well, it doesnt really help, but if you go get your coaster fix elseware..

Just think--fifteen years ago, we didn't have the internet capabilities to "ride" the rides all winter, thus it made the "opening day" anticipation worse than it is now.

But, there wasnt as much to anticipate back then.

Cryostasis

Cryostasis, ha, I like that! :) (the way to think about offseason, not offseason itself of course)

Yeah, I´m pretty sure I´m gonna get my "fix" on Black mamba, Phantasialand and Speed Monster, Tusenfryd. ;) I´m sure they´re gonna be great rides, but I will still miss the beautiful Main Midway, the nice people and ride-ops, the late evenings with Snoopys summer spectacular blasting in the back, while I´m cresting the top of MF´s lifthill... Geez, it was so hard to leave :(

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one checking this site 20 times a day. I'm making my first trip this June. Absolutely can not wait.

I've made a hundred lists on the rides I want to experience and rewrote those lists a hundred more times.

Can anybody send me a couple of brochures/maps that you get when you enter the park. I'm willing to pay. I need to study the maps and plan my day out. I know I can look online but I need something that I can look at and day dream all day when I get bored at work.

I guess I'll be getting my fix at Dollywood until June. I love Thunderhead. I rode 5 times yesterday. I'm about an hour and a half away from Dollywood and get a killer deal on a season pass.$19. My company picnic is there every April and you get to trade in your 1-day ticket for a season pass.

braden, lol. I know what you mean!
In the meantime you should go outside and enjoy the nice weather! Maybe excercise? Keep yourself busy till you're too tired to think. The wait is almost over!
