Cedar Point, Sandusky, Ohio: Heaven Roller Coaster
If you like roller coasters, you'll love Cedar Point Park in Sandusky, Ohio. They have not only a big hotel on the property, but also a campground vderry Nice. One of the advantages of staying here is that you get to go to the park one hour before public.Got the general there is a Wednesday afternoon and found our site. We had paid for a return to the site, but this proved to be attraction through. awoke the next morning at 6:30 am at Cedar Point. Our trailer has a new coat. The exterior was infested muffleheads or midges (nothing to do with Hogwarts or Harry Potter). Muffleheads are a necessary step in the food chain for birds and fish from Lake Erie. They are annoying, but harmless, almost as ephemeral. Their cousins, the mosquitoes and horseflies are (bite at a time). Our trailer and truck were covered with them. Every time we entered one or the other vehicle, we had to wipe them. Some did get inside, but he died after few days.
The weather forecast called for clouds in the morning sun and afternoon. Sun has not advanced through until 6:00 PM. Wear long sleeves and pants were the dress of the day. Too bad that many young girls came dressed in 80-90 degrees. They were almost blue because of the freshness.
After breakfast we walked to Cedar Point Amusement Park. The first round we went to was the Millennium 2000 (a fantastic experience). He is the best roller coaster around speed, height, smoothness, and general overall effect. Even the slope is fast. No moss grows on this coaster. Maggie refused to participate. Perhaps tomorrow?
She goes on the Mantis, which is a standup coaster. Neither one of us loved. We felt rushed around (experience unsatisfactory). Maggie has been interested in trying the iron dragon. It is a suspension of metal coaster above. It feels like you fly in the air over the trees and a lake with smoke coming out of the surface. She liked it so much that we have assembled later in the day. Then we mounted at Cedar Point and Lake Erie train that circles part of the park. The motors are real steam engines, fueled by coal. The journey takes you places that you would not normally. We stopped at the end of the park where I rode the median line, a wooded surrounding Once upon itself many. For a wooded, it is fast, but are you ready for dentures. They could go out.
We then mounted the Mine Train, any roller coaster, which is built to resemble a woody, but it is really metal. It is short, not too difficult, but jerky twists. Maggie loved that one too.
I then drove the next best mountains in the park: the 200 Magnum XL. This hike takes you to the lake Erie, past Soak City with many steep hills, tunnels and a lot of airtime.
At lunch at the campsite, a short NAP then returned to the park. We drove transport disaster, a mountain pool, which is pretty cool, because you're in the dark total. We drove other towers, but were unable to get on some people because of my size. They discriminate against muscular people overweight.
Day 2 at Cedar Point. The sun is out and the wind has decreased. The American Roller Coaster enthusiasts Association was there in force. They are an organization of thrill-seekers who travel to different parks. For $ 30.00 each, they receive an entry Parking and lunch. The park also opens up two hours early for them and shut down three hours later. They are able to go on rides of many times without long lines.
I went to the Millennium 2000: this time on the back of the coaster. We walked around the park to 11:30 ET then returned to the campground. If lunch, broke camp (starting time is noon), and took a nap. Then we went to see some shows that we missed on Thursday. Each was about 25 minutes. One was a tribute to the Motown sound. The other was Rock and Roll. We were happy that we went on rides, on Thursday, because the lines were three times longer, on Friday. Because we tickets to Soak City, water park, we took advantage of them. To reach the top of the water slide, you have to climb at least 50 steps. The largest slide has one hundred steps. I took advantage of them, however. They were exciting. There were at least seven different. One of them was in total darkness, which was very exciting. On another slide, the inner tube turns and I went to to slide backwards. Most have been closed. But I had a major adrenaline rush.
