On july 3rd my girlfriend and I drove to Sandusky, Ohio from Toronto. You could say sandusky is a town probably entirely supported by Cedar Point. Its a bit of a tourist town, stacks of hotels and places to eat. We Turned up to the park at 930 for a 10am opening time. As you drive towards the park you can see the massive thrill machines in the distance - its very exciting. We etired the park via the rear entrance, right near Magnum XL, which was a good idea becuase everyone must have entered at the front and started on those rides, there was no line at all. Magnum was our first ride and honestly, I didnt think it was going to be THAT good, being an older rollercoaster. Boy, was i mistaken! The first hill was great, it was a fast ride with great airtime. Here are my top rides 1. Maverick - Not a record breaker but the best ride of the day - the first hills and those fast turns and lauches. its was almost too much fun 2. Millenium Force - At 1.5 hours is was the longest wait of the day but well worth it - not as much airtime as magnum but very smooth, very high and very fast 3. Raptor - A really confortable ride with a cool zero-g-roll - you can even buy a video of yourself on the ride 3. Magnum XL its a tie with raptor but magnum was so good - i wish i could have rode it twice but there was no time 4. Top thrill - the feeling of dread you get as you are being launched to 220 in 4 seconds is almost overwhelming - but its fun when you get to the top and see the view, right before plummeting 5. Max Air - it was a hot day and max air was so refreshing and gave a great weightless feeling 6. Snake River Falls - Watching the thing roll down the hill and hit that water - the biggest splach id ever seen. when you are on it you get absolutly drenched - head to toe, we saved it for the end of the night 7. Iron Dragon - suprisingly exhilerating, fun terrain, close to the water and through the trees 8. Sky Hawke - a short ride but realy fun 9. Mantis - it rode smoothly and had BIG elements but the harness was unconfortable - i think that is why they dont make these rides any more best day of my life

You lucky sucker. I am definately going to have to go to Cedar Point one day. Some of those attractions are awsome hey... or at least they sound it. Probably going off topic here, but I know a lot of people want Dreamworld to build something big in the years to come. People have mentioned that a Giga/Hyper would be good, but I'd rather them build something like the Maverick, with a launch halfway through it, and some really unique elements. Good to hear you are enjoying your trip.

9th & 10th of August for me. So about 3.5 weeks. (visiting it as part of the Theme Park Review Midwest Trip) Thanks for a great trip report. For your sake, you better tell your girlfriend the best day was meeting her though

Glad you had a great time at Cedar Point, brings back memories of my first time there, going around Cedar Drive past Millennium Force and looking up at it is just awesome. I'll be there for my fourth visit next month, rides aside I think it is a wonderful spot.
