Cedar Point recap
Saturday sent James K, Phil and I off to Cedar Point for Opening Day. Once we booted Phil off at the front for the season pass line, James and I headed to the Soak City lot and in the back enterance. We stopped at Magnum and ran into Aaron who was planning on marathoning the newly-painted ride. We managed to get on the first train of the season and quickly found out that while they did fix the axle on the blue train, they only painted half the ride. Rumor has it that it will be finished in Steptember. Phil met us after the pass line and we rode a total of ten times on Magnum before moving on.
We saw Top Thrill Dragster was having technical difficulties, so we headed on down to Power Tower for a space shot, then on down to Wicked Twister for a fifteen minute wait. James and I went on Disaster Transport, and watched Maxair's technical difficulties. We then wandered down to the Red Garter for a beer, but then we changed our minds and went to Breakwater Cafe on the other side of Camper Village.
Since Breakwater Cafe didn't open till May 27th, we left the park and ate some chow at "East of Chicago" pizza buffet. After being there for around an hour, we migrated down the street for $1.50 beers and well drinks. Eventually, we wandered back to the park for more rides. Phil and I went to ride Top Thrill Dragster while James met up with Jake and Amber in the Season Pass line. We managed a front seat ride after an hour and a half wait (including the front seat wait), and slid in a Raptor ride before meeting up again with James for another Raptor ride.
We went over to Wicked Twister again and got a lap after five minutes, then went over to the Millennium Force midway so Jake and Amber could ride "the Force" and Phil went back to the front of the park for a while. James and I were people watching until Julie and her friend showed up and hung out. Once the group reassembled, we went to Magnum for a lap before the park closed, then headed to Dianna's restaurant for food before the drive home.
Wednesday, I go back to Cedar Point. I hope the lines are even shorter.
