I bet it would be scary up top Giant Wheel with strong winds, I didn't start going to the park till 2001 so I wasn't able to ride the Giant Wheel when it was were Millennium Force is today. But after watching a video on youtube show that amazing view from up top Giant Wheel!

Sorry to change the subject but would you every thing cedar point might switch to the type of cars what they have on the skyride for the giant wheel? I like the doors on giant wheel but just think they are to much of a reliability.

Those doors have been too much of a reliability. All of that opening and closing, letting people in and out, without the slightest problem is just a pain in the neck. ;)
Power Tower, hands down. I made myself ride it the last time I was there, and it scared me so bad that I couldn't even scream :) I haven't ridden MaxAir because of the spinning factor, and I haven't tried Sky Hawk yet, that one sends me into a panic attack just looking at it. TTD always freaks me out up until it launches - then I love it.

I get alittle jittery on Power Towers drop side and on Giant wheel, beyond that skyride when the cable goes on those rollers. The reason I dont really get to scared on anything is the simple fact I know how much thought and work has gone into making all this rides as safe as possible I will grant the occasional mishap here and there or magnum missing those break runs like it did last year {or was that the year before} but look at the statistics and they speak for themselves, you have a better chance at hitting the lottery than actually having a problem I think.
I have been trying to get a roll back on Dragster since I saw my first one there in 03. I have never been so lucky and I even stayed at the resort and do the hour early in because I have observed your best chances of getting a roll back are in the first few shots of the day. But to no avail. I have always wanted a rollback!
I would say my first time on Dragster in 2003 in July, the height didn't bother me as much as waiting for the launch. I can still remember in almost detail what my mind was going though.

There is not one ride at Cedar Point that freaks me out. I am ensured that safety is a number one priority at CP. CP has never had a mechanical cause of death. That is a fine record with the age of the park.
