Wednesday the 16th...

Sorry if its long! lol

We got to Cedar Point about 10 after 10, which I think was the earliest we had ever got there. Me and my friend went right to my favorite ride at CP, Raptor. It was about a 40 min wait. I really have to remember to ride Raptor later in the day when the lines are not so long. You would think I would get it after 7 years of going huh? ;) Anyway after a great ride on Raptor both me and my friend really wanted to go on Top Thrill Dragster, last year when we went it was closed. So we thought this would be the year. The wait was about 1 hour and a half. So we got in line, and waited and waited. It was about 1 hour ten minutes, when we both did not see or hear any trains go. Then about 5 minutes later we hear "... Top Thrill Dragster is currently down for..." something I forgot what she said. I was really disappointed. We waited about 30 minutes more, then just gave up. It was a good thing to, it was down for about 2-3 hours after that. Threw out the afternoon we went on Raptor again (this time the wait was just 15 minutes) Magnum two times, Wicked Twister at lest 3 times, and just about every other coaster too. It really rained hard for at lest 2 hours so that sucked. About 6:00 we get in line for Millennium Force, and boy did the line move slow. About one hour after we where in line they put the 3rd train on. Which made the line move somewhat faster. Then about 10 minutes later we got our ride. Millennium Force is just an awesome, awesome coaster. After we left we seen Dragster was testing, but not very well. After at lest 3 rollbacks they shut it down again. It did open later on but we did not have time to ride it. So this was my second year without a ride on Top Thrill Dragster. :( After another ride on Magnum and two more on Raptor, I did some shopping and we got something to eat. Then it was time to leave. Over all it was a good day. With all the rain it was not to busy. Not getting a ride on TTD was the worst part of it. But maybe next year?

Yea, you can't always trust that ride. Next time make sure you are willing to wait a long time and give yourself extra time in order to ride the ride. You must be willing to wait through breakdowns and rain if you want to ride this ride. Everytime I have waited in line the ride has broken down for at least a half an hour. Next time you go just give yourself a lot more time and you should be fine.

We were there as well on Wed the 18th. Got three rides in on TTD even with breakdowns. We were in station in late afternoon when TTD "misfired" twice. It was worth the waits to ride though. Also, got to see 4 rollbacks after the rain.

That is what I was saying. If you have the time and patience to wait through the myriad of breakdowns then you will be rewarded in the end.
