Vacation Day 11 - Cedar Point - Day 2
May. 28th, 2007 10:00 pmCedar Point - Day 2 - www.cedarpoint.com
The day started with us joining the stampede for Maverick (we run with the crowd, we are one with the crowd, we had to wait while some employees relocated a family of geese). The ride was fast, a bit rough and had some interesting restraints. The 95 degrees down was bizarre. I like the free T-shirt but wish that those of us who had Maxx Passes would have been able to get the sweatshirt as well. Unfortunately the shirts are white so have less use than others might have.
Then we headed up towards the front of the park to visit Wild Cat (I heart Anton, even without loops). Then it was time to take the sky-ride and enjoy some relaxing time and then visit the Midway Carousel all the way at the front of the park (pretty but needs some TLC). We decided to try Demon Drop and had that "what was I thinking?" moment as we went up. Loud sounds but not too bad a ride. My fear of heights wasn't too sure about this though. Then we stopped for a discount lunch (coupons are our friends) which ended up being quite tasty (I liked the pretzel dough roll). The theming of the restaurant was very cute (baseball bat pillars and such). Then aw shucks we were right next to Blue Streak with not much of a line so we took second seat.
We decided to stick out the line and ride Disaster Transport. I really don't get why the line is so long on this ride, the throughput must be insanely low for no obvious reason. It was a nice enough ride but I prefer Avalanche or Space Mountain. A trip to the arcade then ensued with much laughing and fun.
Then it was off to the races at Cedar Downs (racing Derby) and the Cadellac Cars (nice track layout) and aw shucks, we are next to Wild Cat. Giggle. I wanted to see the rest of the Train Loop so we took that back to the rear of the park (not as good scenery as from Mean Streak to Wild Cat). And we were right there next to Mean Streak. Such a hardship. Then off to the Red side of Gemini and out of the park. We had some driving to do and we had ridden a lot. We did some shopping for souviners and hit the road.
On the way to Cleveland we stopped and saw "Invisible" which was weird with nice scenery and rude kids in the theatre.
Then came problems with navigation. The road was closed due to a wreck so we take the detour and lose track of miles. Whose bright idea was it to have 480 have 2 exit numbered 23 onto Broadway??? Hmmm?????? We (of course) took the wrong one but eventually found the hotel and crashed for the night (after moving rooms since the first room's toilet was not functional).
