Winter at Cedar Point

I think it would be very cool to walk around the park to get to see everything covered in snow.

I guess the latest Blog will have to suffice.

I had my second offseason dream last night. I was at a newly remodeled Wicked Twister, it was a completely different ride. I can't even explain the design. I'm starting to miss CP now. I really hope I can get work time off to be there opening weekend.

Today I noticed an abundance of nice CP items for sale on ebay. I snagged a 2004 poster calendar, one of the few I am missing in my collection.

I love seeing offseason photos of the park. It helps pass the time. But, until the park opens I will enjoy myself because winter has finally hit Southwestern Ontario, and it's about darn time.

I have the snowy Gemini pic that Walt has somewhere on here as my desktop. Its nice to look at when its 85 and sunny outside everyday. :)

You just stop while you're ahead, Tim. ;)

Actually, after I got my car cleared off and warmed up, I rather enjoyed the snow. The only thing I don't like about winter are the driving conditions and the really, really cold days. The snow I like.

I keep hearing about this pic, anyone have a link?

Yeah, seriously, somebody needs to go beat up Tim. I volunteer to go if everybody else picks up my plane ticket. ;)

Are you kidding Navy? It's been on the Pointbuzz homepage for quite some time now.

I prefer the picture taken last year or the year before by Walt that was taken from the bridge by SRF looking at MFs first hill and overbank.

Maybe I have a slight bias, but my favorite winter picture is the one that Cedar Point put out last year of Blue Streak covered in snow. Not that I may be biased or anything... ;)

I've had the Gemini picture as my background since before Christmas. I think I'm going to change it now to that Millennium winter pic. I forgot about it.

Random- Does anyone else think that this has been a slow moving off-season? Not meaning there has been no news, but that the time is just slowly trudging by.

Yes and No, it went pretty quick up until now.

I have dreams about cedar point about once a week, on or off season. I hope working their this summer will cure this even though they are quite fun. But then I wake up and realize I have class at 8:00 am, that part sucks.

Oh boy, did I have the dream of all Cedar Point dreams a couple of weeks ago...

I dreamed a while back that Mantis was somehow in Wicked Twister's place and they were testing and let two trains go at one. The first didn't clear the loop *somehow?* and the two crashed. I pulled out my camera phone very quick so I could get some pictures to post on Pointbuzz lol. Last night's dream involved me riding my bike to CP but not bringing my wallet so I was not able to buy my season pass. It was strange.

Whenever I have a CP dream, something always happens to me when it comes to Dragster. Like in my last dream where I got off WT (Which for some reason resembled V2 at SFGA) only to find that my friend was with my other friend (who hasnt been on Dragster yet) on Dragster. Not only did they not tell me they were going on my beloved coaster, but they also got a rollback............let's just say I was mad. The first thing I said when I woke up; "Those A__holes, how could they?!".:)

And I too am finding the last 109 days to be going by slowly.

But everyday is closer to opening day, we just have to be patient. Just like in hunting....except you dont have a gun and your not in the cold freezing your butt off because your gloves arent keeping your hands warm and holding a cold metal object just isnt helpin.:)

The last dream I had was a while ago and it involved me and my girlfriend at the time standing in the very end of TTD's queue and the train came off the track, picked us up, and went back to the start position. It also rolled back. It was pretty awesome. Oddly enough, that dream was right before my last trip to Cedar Point in October and I got 2 rollbacks in a row because it was rainy and we were on the first train. It was the weekend before closing weekend.

The other night I dreamed I was on some unnamed suspended coaster, that somehow emptied out into the sandpits at the Peanuts playground. It was very disappointing.

We are counting down the days until April, so we can get our season pass photos. No we can't go "IN" the park, but we can look at it from just outside the gate. So hurry up April.
