My Weekend

(Yes, I should be working... but it is a Monday morning, it is really nice outside and motivation did not come with me to work today...)

So Cedar Point was great. We had awesome weather, nice and sunny with a breeze, I would say upper 70's lower 80's. We went up Friday night and stayed in a hotel. Got up Saturday morning, went to Bob's for breakfast and then got to the park around 11. Let me just share with you that there is no easy way in or out of the park. We walked right on the Magnum and then did some other little rides. The longest we waited was for Maverick and Top Thrill Dragster @ 2 hours. WELL WORTH IT. Maverick actually drops you down about a 95 degree angle and it a great ride. Fast take off and a surprise in the middle, all due to the magic of magnets. Great ride. Top Thrill Dragster about gave me a heart attack. I was really nervous waiting in line for it. We had to wait even longer due to rain coming in and wind - that made it even more nerve racking. The height of 400+ feet didn't bother me, it was the 120 mph that they shoot you off at that did. (From anywhere in the park you can hear the magnets for the ride.) My friends were making fun of me saying I could go skydiving but not go on a ride where I was stapped in on a track that was anchored to the ground. (I'm not saying it was logical to be as scared as I was.) When we got on the ride I was shaking. I made my friends nervous. The worst part was waiting as they counted down and then the inital jolt of the 0-120 in no time flat. The ride was amazing, I LOVED it and would do it again in a second. :)

The only thing that was a bummer is Millinium Force was closed until the end of the day. We were waiting in line when the sky decided to open up and POUR on us. We figured forget it and ran to the car. We were on the other side of the park so we were drenched when we finally got there. It took forever to get out of the park, we had been directed to park in the back and I would say it was an hour before we were finally out. I'm not sure they are the best at directing traffic out of that place. We went to a Wendy's to change and the manager was a WITCH. She wouldn't let us back in after we went to the car to put our wet clothes and bags back into the trunk. We left and went to a Taco Bell. Best food I have ever had. It was like 10pm at this point and the last time we ate had been 2pm.

Overall the weekend was great, we're going to go back next year and maybe stay longer or go during the week. I haven't been to Cedar Point in awhile so all and all it was a great weekend, weather and bitcy Wendy's lady included.
