Cedar Point

Stardate 65949.7 -  Few people enjoy roller coasters as much as my friends and myself. That is solid fact right there. So we set ourselves a course for Ohio to a spot practically in Lake Erie itself. Some call it the Mecca of Roller coasters and others just Cedar Point. Either way, we were in for a wild ride both in and out of the park.

We stopped in a saloon for lunch!

Snoopy!

Just to give you some mind blowing statistics about Cedar Point. It has about 16 roller coasters; one of which has won the best roller coaster in the USA for several years running. Our first roller coaster of the day was called, 'Top Thrill Dragster.' This mammoth of a coaster goes 120 mph and shoots you 420 feet in the air. The ride last about 20 seconds, but it melts your face off. We then ventured to other less intense roller coasters. One such was an old school wooden roller coaster called, 'Mean Streak.' It did have one mean streak to it. Wooden coasters are especially scary because you do not know when they could possibly break due... I don't know... rotting wood? We conquered a few kiddy rides until we got to the Millennium Force. This All Star hold its own and is the best roller coaster of all time. Although not as big as the Top Thrill Dragster, the Millennium Force drags you 310 feet into the air and then drops you at an 80 degree angle. Basically, a 90 degree drop means you fall perpendicular; a 80 degree drop means you drop perpendicular and back some. The ride was crazy sauce. I mean it has the same initials as the Millennium Falcon, so it has to be nuts.

We ended our adventure on a romantic carousel ride. It was full of lights and wonder! All in all, we had a great time at Cedar Point! I can't wait to go back next year and see the new ride they are opening up, and maybe get a Snoopy to take home!
