flightoffear1996 Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I headed up to Cedar Point for the weekend braving the crowds. I arrived to the Best Western about 6PM on Friday. Went to the pool and spent most of the night there. On Saturday got to the park about 10:30. I don't like getting at the park for the morning rush. Rode everything once and most lines for were an hour other than MF and Top Thrill those were about 2 hours. Rode most of the coasters on Sunday and the lines were a little bit shorter but not much. I spent countless money on $3 waters and half the vending machines didnt work and I got a solid frozen water out of one em. After Cedar Point on Sunday we headed to do the Ghostly Manor haunted house on the Sandusky trip. This is prob. one of the best haunted houses I have been. Great job there. Overall lines were long and we didnt ride much but I still had a great time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogrmac Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Glad to hear you had a great time! Hour lines for a Saturday at CP sound kind of light! I don't get water out of the machines because they will give you a cup of ice water for free at most of the stands. I've never checked out any of the haunted houses in the area. Perhaps I should do that sometime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted August 3, 2010 Author Share Posted August 3, 2010 Well it was an hour for most of the rides other than the Big three. MF, TTD and Maverick. Alot of the wait times posted were 2 hours but they were way off. I know they give you a free cup of water at the stands but they are just too small.

coasterguy15 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 yea, i had the same problem at Cedar Point a couple of weeks ago. their cups of free water are super tiny. so to solve the problem, i would ask for 2 or three cups haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dvo Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 The lines were VERY long this weekend. I too was at the park, and the front lot was completely full. Nonetheless, with some persistence, and by taking advantage of the early ride time, I got some decent ride numbers in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do remember Cedar Point has 4 different Gates to enter the park Main, Marina, Magnum and Beach gate over by Wicked Twister. I always enter at the Magnum gate in the back of the park.

DaveStroem Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 We were there on Sunday too. Everything seemed to have had trouble waking up. Maverick was about 15 minutes late opening. I think Millie was late too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted August 3, 2010 Author Share Posted August 3, 2010 Yea we entered the back gate by Magnum both times. Its easier to find the car in the lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McSalsa Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Well, my sister is at Cedar Point right now...I was going to go but she dumped me! (Goes into "Rage Mode" for 10 seconds) NOW I CANNOT RIDE MILLIE, MAGGIE, MEANIE, BLUIE, RAPTIE, MAVERI, TWISTY, MANTY, DRAGGIE, SKYHAWKY, MAXAIRY, OR ANY OF THE OTHERS!!! (BWA HA HA FUNNY NICKNAMES!!!) Actually, shockingly, I'm not too upset about it by now...but she visits theme parks a lot more than I do since she has lots more friends...here's our comparison: ME (5) ***** Indiana Beach (Summer 1999) Kings Island (August 2000) Kings Island (May 16th, 2009) Kings Island (May 8th, 2010) Holiday World (May 29th, 2010) HER (8) ***** Indiana Beach (Summer 1999) Kings Island (August 2000) Indiana Beach (2003-2007, I don't even know what year, all I know is it happened) Kings Island (Summer 2008) (Her telling me about this trip is what got me wanting to return to KI in the first place) Kings Island (April 18th, 2009) (Diamondback Grand Opening, she has the T-Shirt!) Kings Island (May 16th, 2009) Kings Island (May 8th, 2010) Cedar Point (August 3rd, 2010) (Going on right now...) Well, at least I have Holiday World on her...but must find way to catch up!!! Sorry this is a bit off-topic for this post, but it is a Cedar Point topic... PS: I'm guessing today the waits are far from 1 hour, since she has rode Raptor, Chaos, and Wicked Twister already from what she's told me. Her favorite so far is Raptor. She loved Chaos too.

The Interpreter Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 You forgot you also can't ride the Kitty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McSalsa Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 You forgot you also can't ride the Kitty! This kitty? PS: Here's a list of what my sister has told me she rode... Millennium Force (Scared her to death...she's afraid of heights) Magnum XL-200 Maverick (She says it's her new #1 coaster) Raptor (Loved it) Mean Streak (She says it's the roughest coaster she's ever ridden...and she likes Son of Beast! She said it was "rough even when going straight!" She still said it was "fun" though.) Wicked Twister Chaos (Loved it) Sky Ride Disaster Transport Cedar Creek Mine Ride (She didn't like it. Said it sucked and was super boring.) Shoot The Rapids Thunder Canyon She rode more but didn't contact me recently. She never even got me a park map (said she lost it)! She did note, however, that she did NOT ride: Blue Streak Corkscrew Top Thrill Dragster (If she was afraid of Millie...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 So, she didn't ride the Kitty either? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McSalsa Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 So, she didn't ride the Kitty either? I'm not sure. She says "I rode everything BUT the rides...( listed above)." But I doubt it, she only went for 1 day and doesn't Cedar Point have over 90 rides? Getting them all in 1 day seems impossible... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pillsberry123 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Wildcat is one of the best rides of its kind, and this is coming from a person who doesn't normally like rides of that kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Most people think it is a Galaxi...like the one at Indiana Beach. It is not. It's from Anton! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
