United States 2013 - Part 7

Cedar Point

Saturday - September 7th 2013

In 2007 we had already been to Cedar Point and enjoyed that park a lot, especially the huge and fast coasters. Since we were basically around the corner, we decided to go there once again. Unfortunately the park was only open on weekends and on Saturday only from 1:00pm to 10:00pm. Nevertheless we got, thanks to our frinds, some discounted tickets from AAA and soon we were on our way to Cedar Point. After we arrived there, we got in line for the park opening. Our first ride was the Millenium Force. Since the crowds were big that day, we had to wait for one hour, however that ride was totally worth all the waiting time.

Next was Maverick and I didn't enjoy the ride as much as six years ago, since it was very bumpy and uncomfortable. Now it was time for a short break and so we had a glass of beer. Unfortunately due to safety reasons the park had to close down all the rides. Honestly I didn't understand that, because it wasn't even raining, just a few drops. I never experienced such a move in any other themepark, but we used the time to get some veggie dogs and fries.

Later we got in line for the newest park addition named Gatekeeper. What a fun ride! It was really smooth and enjoyable. We had one more ride on our To-Do list and that was the Top Thrill Dragster and so we queued. Again the park shut down all the rides due to some rain drops. Nevertheless we waited and an hour later the ride reopened. Now the real fun began, because they were facing technical problems and the coaster was shut down again. Again we waited in line, but they couldn't find the problem. So we waisted a lot of time there, but before we left the park we rode the Magnum XL coaster. Dispite those issues we had a lot of fun at Cedar Point.
