Cedar Point Friday and Saturday July 12-13, 2013 PTR

[Fire-Beast-OF FEAR]

Probably out of sheer luck I managed to get not one but three visits to the Point in under a month. To some this is normal but the last visit I made was in 2009 so I was super exited. So This PTR will be like my last one with Part 1 being the trip and part 2 is ride reviews but I will only review the rides I did not go over in my last PTR and it will also have way more pictures.

So for the first day it was me and my younger sister Maggy and we arrived around 4:00 as we drove down the "Million Dollar Mile". The weather was very nice and perfect for awesome coasters!

So our first ride was Gatekeeper and only waited for 12 minutes before enjoying my second wing coaster on 8-right.

The next ride was Mantis after 20 minutes of waiting. MF had an hour wait and my sister had never ridden Mantis before so I had to prepare for the worst and It wasn't as bad as some have made it to be. Emphasis on AS it really wasn't that great. so a walk down the Frontier trail on the way to Maverick ensued.

We waited for 1 hour before we were halfway into the queue house and a ride-op E-stopped so another 45 minutes happened before be could get on but we walked on after the ride started up due to the amount of people who left the queue. Luckily we met some Marching band people so we were entertained for the most part. The ride was awesome but slightly not worth the wait.

Millennium Force was next and we rode it with the new friends we met.

We waited for 1:15 minutes but by the time we got on the ride it was dark and an awesome night ride ensued on my favorite coaster ever.

Wicked Twister was awesome as usual and with a cold lakeside nighttime breeze every time we passed out of the station added to the thrill.

Sadly we had to leave and a nice sibling outing ended in awesomeness.

Day two was a solo visit and I went for MF first for platinum pass ERT. I got two rides in before I knew this would be a day spent more on the midway and beach than on rides.

Lucky enough to get in line for TTD before GA was let in so I got on the ride at 10:05 after 15 minutes of standing.

Then 3 rides on Magnum in a row with either walking on or not leaving my seat was next in row 6-2. That just goes to show how underrated and high capacity this airtime machine is.

Then a lap on Gemini before I headed to to Mean Streak. I rode MS 3 times all in the front row and it was a very enjoyable ride compared to past rides.

Cedar Creek mine ride was next after a walk on. Not as good as AE but the setting and theming was pretty good. Then a trip to the town hall and lunch at Pinks hot dogs before i headed to the beach as the lines got big.

Lake Erie was warm and the beach was very clean and sand as opposed to many beaches in the region.

I got another ride on Magnum after a 20 minute wait before I had to leave. All and all, a nice trip and got to ride GK.

Part 2 will be ride reviews and a lot more pics so hopefully that will be up tomorrow.

Great TR, I love the picture of Mantis and the picture of Mean Streak too! Also, seeing your picture of TTD makes me remember again that it is in a desperate need of a paint job!
