Girls.

Mmm I'd have to say midriffs and miniskirts are my weakness.

I just got back from Sandusky, which is a very nice place. Fun park. There are some really intense roller coasters there. I'd have to say my favorites were Millenium Force, Dragster, Magnum XL200 (Goofy Name: Did the condom industry sponsor this ride?) and the Mantis.

The mantis kinda sucked cuz I lost my hat on it and i waited in line forever because like 3 kids puked in the car. Because of that I was expecting it to be an intense ride but I didn't really think it was worth the wait.

The dragster, which is the faster roller coaster in the world, was the ride I had my eyes set on since the moment I stepped into the parked. It was down for about 3/4 of the day then it came back up at like 8 and we got in a relatively short line and rode near the back. I put my hands up on the way down and man was that crazy.

Millenium Force was probably one of the longest lines in the park but damn was it worth it. It takes you up 325FT (might be wrong, but it's somewhere in that range) right from the gate and the drop is so much fun. I waited in line for what seemed like 2 hrs so I could get the ultimate experience to sit in the front. Definetly worth the wait. Went on it a second time at about 8 and it was still a whole lot of fun.

Magnum XL200 was a nice ride to go on to kill time. Little bit rocky but I still had a lot of fun on it. At night it gives an awesome view of the park. Sandusky looks like an amazing place to live (in the summer at least). On this ride their happened to be two hot drunk chicks about my age (16) who just ruled. One of them leaned over to flirt with the operator or something and the other one pants'ed her... that **** was hilarious.

Anyways uh I had a good time and it seems like yesterday was the best day to go. We missed all the huge lines from the 4th of July weekend and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. Definetly have to say I liked this park the most out of all the parks I've been to (Kings Island, Kentucky Kingdom, Six Flags Chicago, St Louis, etc.). The women Ohio rule, that's all I gotta say. I'm pissed I didn't get any numbers :rant:

Anyone else been? I'm sure mmonnin has.

The zipper is a totally different pleasure. Those things just get you dizzy. I don't really understand why people like those rides. I much prefer the weightless feeling and that rush you get in your stomach going down a big drop.

Most of my family is located in northern Ohio from Cleveland to Sandusky so I've been. It's a nice park and generally receives high marks in magazines and travel sites. Although it's been a few years since I've been I remember having a great time there.

I went down there with a buddy about 10 (?) years ago and rode the Raptor when it was fairly new. Stood in a long lineup, over an hour to ride it. I got on and started hyperventilating, my buddy just looked at me and laughed. Thanks, Scott. I hadn't been on a significant coaster in my life up to that point. It was quite a ride, when they drop the floor away and you're hanging there 100' or whatever up in the air......But it seems to me that I was on faster coasters that day, maybe not higher up. And the Raptor is a smoooooth ride, very high tech, very few jolts and bumps.

Cedar Point. Best park EVAR.

The end.

Attached is a pic I took at night of the TTD (Top Thrill Dragster) - the highest, fastest, steepest, blah blah blah coaster IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. Only 2 hours from my house. pwn.

I've gone to Cedar Pointe every year since I was five. That park is absolutely fantastic. I plan to take my own kids there one day.

Everyone who isn't an "OMG I'M AFRAID OF HEIGHTS" sissy should go once in their life.

I have been there only once. It is much better than King's Island. The rides are awesome but its been a few years so I havent had a chance to ride the newest rides.

My family made a long ass road trip in the car to go to Ohio. We visited Cedar Point and it was fricken sweet, it was before the Top Thrill Dragster was built though. I think at the time the Mantis was the new ride there, we waited in line for like 2 1/2hrs, and I totally thought it was worth it, it was pretty sweet. Cedar Point rules, I want to go back sometime soon.

I went to Cedar Point last year with a group of friends. I don't live close enough to go regularly, but it's worth a once-a-year trip for me. I've got as season pass to King's Island since it's so close, and Cedar Point just blows KI away. The Millenium Force is awesome. Unfortunately, the Top Thrill Dragster was closed when I was there. The closest I've been in acceleration is the Outer Limits Flight of Fear at King's Island, which only accelerates about half as fast as the Dragster.

I was thinking of something like that actually. I think it would be really sweet. Maybe we just need to all get together a build us a house
