Now heres where it gets funny.We waited in line and...ouch the ride breaks down.Train is stuck b4 it enters the station.They closed the line for anymore guests so we decided to wait it out.Dj playin Britney Spears??(He was annoyed too)a group of kids cut in line through the woods next to the Dj booth."the ride isnt even running and you cut in line???"Bye....finally after 15 mins and coolin with the mist fans..we were on.rode Corkscrew later because moi wasnt allowed on the platform with my MF bottle!!That ride cute but too short.We wanted to ride MF again but at 9 it was a three hour wait.We made Raptor our final ride at night.AWESOMEeven took off the brakes!
Cedar Point is the best park..great food..ate at
the market buffet..(Juan from Colombia..props to ya!)Great ride ops(It is Blasphemy to wear another park's teeshirt at CP..Chaos ride ops)I was wearing a SON OF BEAST shirt.My hubby won me a huge Dolphin...and a million others.Scenery was breathtaking..even the fat guy on the bench clutching onn the pole for dear life was happy!!Dp was a cool ride..my first bobsled...over all I am upset I live over 8 hrs away!We went to SFO the next day and I wish not to comment too much.Lets say this..theyll be getting a letter from me...Half of the rides non-operating.serial Thriller running with one train.The park is DISGUSTING....filthy,ride ops are horrendous(letting on little kids without cheking height)
Rude,arrogant,and thats the guests too!(Watched a guy cut in front of 50 people to ride Serial..just pranced up to the platform.Smoking in the queues..blowing smoke in our faces,It wasnt even the slightest bit crowded..I used cleaner restrooms at the Ohio rest areas!I will nevr...ever return there AGAIN.What an interesting trip...Cedar Point rulez!!!!!!!!!!!!
