Cedar Point trip #2

Hello all,

This is my report of Cedar Point trip #2

Let me just start off by saying that I still have not had a bad experience at Cedar Point! This park is simply incredible!! Being there for 13 hours, you would think I would get bored with it, but nope!

On the weekends they let coaster club member enter the park 10 minutes early to have the first ride on Millie. 

There I am! By single rider bob! He is such a character! To be honest it is an honor to be able to ride with him!

After many rides on Millie, we decided to head to the other rides. This included Raptor and Wicked Twister. Bob and I rode together for an hour and half before he had to go home and grill out. 

Hope your cook out was awesome!!

After this, I started wondering the park. I can offically say that I have rode everything that I can ride without taking a child. 

I did not know this was going on today, but it was something I will do. For every ride given, 10¢ were to be donated to this hospital! I rode it multiply times! Wish I would have rode more!! I will let you know how much they raise once I find out. 

This area has one of my favorite rides in the whole park. Can you guess what it is??

Yes, I finally made it this time to pet some of the animals!! I love the petting zoo and hope they never get rid of it!! Goto this!!

I was looking for a lazy day, to a point, and I never rode these cars! It was really cool riding this ride and suggest riding it. You never know when it will be gone. 

Ok, to be honest I never see amusement park shows. I am there for the rides not the shows. However I wanted to see a show. I could not tell you the name of this show, but I will say that I laughed my head off and Throughly was amused for 45 mins. I suggest seeing a show at Cedar Point. 

Hopefully they will make this ride a floorless ride next year! If not, oh well! Still love it!!

Iron dragon wAs awesome as always!! 

I did not take a photo on the coaster!;)

Storm rolling through. We had strong winds, heavy rain, and the general public left! :) the last two hours were incredible at the park!!

Beautiful sunset! I was riding Gemini and I had to take this shot! Amazing! No I did not take my phone out on the ride!!

Finally to end this post:

There is this thing called a "tweetup" and you can win stuff. This coin is what I wanted to win so bad! I have tried two other times and finally I got it!! 

Thy started this last year and I have that one! Only 500 coins are giving out each year and I know have both of them!:)

Have an amazon week ad be prepared for AUGUST!

Impromptu Cedar point trip!!

Wow!! What a day! 

I decided to have a Cedar Point trip literally two days ago!:) to was about the experience and not about ride count!!

Let me first day that I discovered so many things that I never knew where at Cedar Point! I am can now say without a doubt that this is my favorite place in the world!!

Lets do a play by play!:)

Let see how long it takes you to find me! This was a photo for the Walk back for coaster club members! Have you found me yet?? 3...2...1...give up? Well if you could not guess that I am the most excited person in the photo then you need to spend some time with me!:) I am the one with both hands up with a huge grin!!

The walkback only happens on Saturday and Sundays and is only allowed for Coaster Clubs approved by Cedar Point only! This walkback happens 10 minutes before the Platinum pass holders are allowed in! They take a photo each time!:)

That was the start to the amazing day!:)

After getting a few rides in on Millennium Force, Raptor, and Mavrick the park opened and it was... Not that packed at all! My main goal was to do things I have never done. Where to start!:)

Ohhh how about this guy! Back in 2009 you were able to play this for 10¢ a play. However you can't play him anymore. Back in 2009 we (my family) spent about $10 trying to make the damn monkey scream! You see that lever, you pull that as hard as possible to make it scream. It only screams when the monkey reaches the top! Well that never happened. 

This guy! He has a great story! It is said to be hunted. When it used to be on the ride, no one would ride it. They moved it to three different rides and still no one would ride this horse. One reason is becuase the legs on the far side are both coming up, this is unnatural and the children knew this and had a fear that the horse would fall over. Also it has been stated that someone's ashes where placed in this horse. Also many prople refuse to work in the museum becuase of the strange occurrences that happen around this horse. 

Ok enough about my favorite non ride thing at Cedar Point. 

Zomg! The best kept secret at Cedar Point! Tilt-a-whirl!!! This is my favorite flat ride ever to be made in the history if rides. It is so simple but incredible!! If you get a chance: RIDE IT!!

Moving on to another great ride: Lake Erie Eagles! This ride is awesome if you know how to snap it!! I was so good at it on my second time that the ride op was worried I was going to get the cables tangled up!:) of course the chances of that are extremely slim, if not impossible. I just don't know enough about how this ride is made to say for sure. 

This ride is new for 2014, and added for much fun to Cedar Point. Speaking of fun, lest move to another ride that I rode for the first time!!

Matterhorn!! This is an amazing flat ride! It is even better if you can get the car EXTREMELY off balance to get you an very unique experience! Since I am a single rider, the car was about 175 pounds off balance!! I got the car past 90degrees! For those that have ridden it know what I mean. Everyone else, all I can do to describe this ride is this photo:

Those are the cars that swing. 

Before I forget and get to far with my day, I have to tell you that I did do the petting zoo, but forgot to take photos with me and the animals!:(

To add more excitement to the day: Dinosours Alive is free for platinum pass member and it provided amazing views of my Favorite Coaster!:) look at Instagram for a really cool video!:) 

Let's take a break from photos and describe the rest of the day!

From doing everything above, I also watch glass get blown, learned about water mills in a tour that I never knew existed, went to soak city for the first time ever, tried the daily meal plan, went to the beach, walked the boardwalk, and so much more!:)

(Beach)

(Hotel around the boardwalk)

I really want to bring the attention the the Daily Meal plan! If you don't visit much, then this is a 100% must have!! For $32.16 you get to each from a wide selection every 90minutes. Drinks are not included, but that was not a big deal for me for I only drink water!:) today I had 7 meals! Yes I made sure that I got my money worth! I are over $105 worth of food for only $32! This good was lot crap either, it was very good! From pizza, grilled chicken, chicken fingers, cheese on a stick, and many other items that I did not get the chance to have. 

Today I was not running for rides, I was running to eat good becuase my 90 minutes where up! Yes I can say that was the first time that I ran for amusement park food!:)

Soak City in short was fun, but needs more slides. For a small water park it was a blast. I would say they have one of my favorite lazy rivers ever! The rest of the park was small but was relaxing. Much needed with only 4 hours of sleep. After soak city, I left to see what else to do!

After a few more rides, I ended the night with a front row ride on Top Thrill Dragster!:) it was perfect for I have not been in front row for 5 years! 

I wanted to see some shows, but I never got around to it...opps. 

Finally I need to talk about the Gimini midway. 

Incredibly beautiful! I am so thrilled that Cedar Point has been focusing on aesthetics when deigning a location. 

The lighting packages are these rides are amazing! I was super excited to see the chances in person for the first time!! 

Finally I leave you with this:

The perfect ending day pic! Love this park! I will be back this summer!:D

Goodnight

Daniel
