KIBeast Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Sorry this is coming late, but I have been busy with my new job. So, I bought a package deal through Breakers Hotel for my fiance’ and I. I have done this once before and to me, this was the best way to get the most enjoyment out of Cedar Point. So, we arrive at the evening of the 24th, check in to our room, relax for about an hour, then head for an evening of fun. As a side note, my fiance’ had not been to CP since High School and had never been on several of their coasters. With that in mind, I decided to start her out on Magnum XL200. And, also, it is closest to the rear gate by the hotel. We waited about 10 minutes in line. Magnum delivered as always and I really enjoyed the bunny hops at the end. She absolutely loved it! Next we moved on to Meanstreak. We waited about 10 minutes for this one as well. I like MS and she really enjoyed this one as well. The ride didn’t seem any bumpier than usual and neither one of us had any complaints about it. After that, we back tracked towards Wicked Twister. I had shown her the video of the roller coasters of Cedar Point and this was the one she was most looking forward too. We watched one cycle and then we were next to ride. We sat in the back seat as this is my favorite seat on this and most coasters, other than Raptor. She liked the fact that WT was right on the beach. This coaster is awesome and to me, my favorite part is the last twist on the back spike as you get maximum rotation in the back seat. Afterwards, we watched maXair and walked over to Raptor. I suggested we wait for the front seat as I think the front is best on Raptor since your view is clear. She loved the Raptor and said we definitely have to ride that one again. I believe this is my absolute favorite at CP. Next, we took a spin on maXair. We have both been on Delirium and wanted to try out CP’s. I was shocked that the wait was only about 2 cycles. I really enjoy this type of thrill ride and maXair was awesome. The only difference it seemed to me, was that maXair seemed to swing more times fully than Delirium. Although, I could be wrong. Finally, our last ride of the first night was Mantis. I like Mantis, she did not care for the seats and swore she would never ride that one again. The next day, we took a spin on Wicked Twister and Raptor again. I got her to ride Top Thrill Dragster which she loved. She was afraid when we finally got seated. She thought she was not gonna be able to ride due to having a little difficulty with the seat belt. The girl who was doing the safety spiels and such came over to give her a hand. My fiance’ said to her, “I don’t think I fit” to which she responded, “I’m a farm girl and trust me, you’re going to ride.” So, I thought that was pretty cool that she did that for her. My girl was very nervous about the launch possibly rolling back and the fact that there was not OTSR’s. We didn’t get a roll back, much to my dismay, although she was happy. She thought Dragster was really cool and quite the adrenaline rush. We also rode Wild Cat which we both agreed is a really fun coaster with the quick dips and turns. Finally, we made our way over to Maverick. We had tried to ride first thing in the morning, but due to long delays, we decided to get out of line. We did get to ride after about an hour wait. Other than Maverick, most lines were 15-30 minutes max. I have to say that Maverick kicks butt from beginning to end. The launch hill was cool, but, what made it cool was the 95 degree vertical drop that felt like you were going to be tossed out of your seat. We both found the restraints comfortable. The second launch is to die for and the horseshoe roll was pretty intense as well. This coaster goes to show you that it doesn’t have to be the biggest or fastest to deliver an excellent ride. We never did get to take a lap on Geminii as we spent about and hour taking pics and I thought we should try Millennium Force over Geminii. My only problem with MF was that the ride host didn’t even attempt to help my girl with her seatbelt. I understand the new rule, I just thought he should have at least try to help her instead of just standing there with his arms folded just shaking his head. She was very upset that she could not ride and told me to go by myself since was had already waited. I rode, but it was not as much fun riding alone. I don’t think I could do a day at the park alone as there is nobody to share your experiences with. We rode Iron Dragon which neither one of us were thrilled over. We also tried out Chaos which be both thoroughly enjoyed. We tried out Skyhawk and thought it was lots of fun. I was really amazed at how quickly they could park the gondolas at the end. Excellent ride that just gives the sensation of a giant swing set. All in all, we had an excellent trip. We ate at Friday’s for free, played a couple of rounds of mini golf, and ate a stuffed pretzel which was really tasty. If you plan to go to CP, I highly recommend a package deal. I’ll try to post some pics later and link to them. Any suggestions for web sites that have free pic hosting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
