kiruler102 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 We started our journey on Friday. Lefted Kentucky at 5 and met Ryan (coasterkid) and his grandpa at their house. We shortly left Fairfield at 6:15 ish. On the way up we got stuck in dayton traffic which took about 30-45 minutes to pass through. We later stopped in Lima at a Skyline and got to Cedar Point about 10:30. Since we were all excited we didnt end up going to sleep until about 2 and woke up at 6 to get ready and go to Perkins for a quick and small breakfast. We then decided to head outside since we stayed at breakers to watch corkscrew and PT test run. It was about 8:30 so we headed to the resort entrance gate to see Tom and Angie. We talked to them and got ready to RUN to maverick. They decided to head to Top Thrill Dragster but Ryan and I headed to Maverick for my 1st ride. We got to the station to be rewarded 1st train of 2010 in row 4. To my surprise, this ride was AWESOME!. It was a little rough through the turns but I rode defensively and had a great ride. As we headed into the breakrun the ride shut down. I BROKE MAVERICK!!! the ride didnt start back up for another 15 minutes. Maverick-10/10 When we got off, it was already 9:25 and we met up with my dad and his grandpa and went to ride Iron Dragon. Flight Deck<Iron Dragon. Flight deck it WAY better. Iron Dragon 5/10 We then noticed that Mantis was running early before 10, so we headed for the back row. This is the only B&M standup I have been on, but this ride was awesome. Mantis-8/10 it was now 9:50 and we wanted to head to Raptor before ROTB but we didnt make it. It was very weird to see everyone running past you as you are walking toward the entrance. My dad said, “ its like paddling upstream, its very hard”. When we got to Raptor, the line was out of the queue line out onto the midway. The wait was about 30 minutes. Raptor-10/10 After Raptor it was about 11 and I received a text from Brian to meet him at Wicked Twister. Since I am a bigger guy I try out the test seats on make sure I can fit before waiting in line. I went to try and Wicked Twister test seat and I fit perfectly. Waited the 25 minute line, and I couldn't get the seatbelt to fasten. WT*!!! I dont know what happened. I was furious. After that disappointment we met up with Brian, Mark, and Derrick. We then rode Disaster Transport. That ride was pretty fun!!! Disaster Transport- 6/10 We then went to go get something to eat at Hurricane Hanna's where there credit card machine wouldn't work so I had to exit the park to the front gate and use the machine there. The food was average, the chicken was huge! After that Ryan, Me, my dad, his Grandpa, and Brian headed to Blue Streak- 30 minutes Overall: this ride was very little, but had LOADS of airtime. I was very surprised. 8/10 Brian was telling me about how calypso is the only one operating right now, so we headed there. Nice flat ride 8/10 Then he was telling me we needed a ride on Cedar Downs- 9/10 VERY FUN flat.! After that ryan and Brian wanted to ride the antique cars so my dad, ryans grandpa, and myself headed over to the shot side of Power Tower-25 minutes. Very fun flat. Never been on a Shot tower and it was very fun. 8/10. After that we headed to Corkscrew where we waited 25 minutes and then it broke down for about 15 minutes due to GP having their camera out on the lift hill on the red train. Since this is getting long I will briefly explain. PaddleWheel Excursions Woodstock Express then we headed to Magnum then Magnum again then Raptor Corkscrew Magnum Gemini Blue and Red Mean Streak then Last train on Maverick. Time for Pics!!!

KIfan1980 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 You forgot to mention that you and Ryan spent many minutes on the trip North updating your Facebook Status. I can't tell you how many times there were back to back updates: - Dustin is eating at Skyline in Lima - Ryan in Lima eating Skyline Glad you had a good trip. I especially like the night Dragster picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
