Hola! A day ago, I just got back from my trip to Cedar Point! Cedar Point only needs to be described with one word; amazing. It's become my favorite amusement park. I rode MF, TTD, Wicked Twister, Raptor, Magnum, Mean Streak, Blue Streak, Mantis, Gemeni, Power Tower, Wildcat, Corkscrew. Iron Dragon, Cedar Creek Mine Ride, and Woodstock Express, which is sort of sad. Its amazing how one park can have 5 incredible coasters, 4 really good ones 4 good ones, one that sucks, and 2 that I have not ridden so I cannot tell. If you don't go to Cedar Point, you are missing out on a lot.

My family and I left home at 1:00 and got there at 10:00. We stayed at Hotle Breakers, which was fine. I god some 7 hours of sleep when I woke up to have breakfast. Because people staying at my hotel had early acces to the park, I got into the park at 9:00 am. 2 rides were open at this time. MF and Dragster. Because most people were heading to TTD, I, being a smartass, skipped to Millenium Force. The line was 3 minutes long for the first ride, and 7 minutes long for the second ride. Now I know you will be angry at me. Here's my review of MF.

Millenium Force...10 out of 10 if not higher. It's so damn hard to review this phenomenal roller coaster because it is so damn great. But, I'll do the best I can. Here we go. THIS COASTER IS BEYOND AMAZING! IT'S THE BEST I HAVE EVER RIDDEN, AND CHANCES ARE, THAT WILL NEVER CHANGE! IT'S GOT EVERYTHING! SPEED, HEIGHT, SMOOTHESS, A WHOLE DARN LOT OF FUN, AND BEST OF ALL, I WAITED A TOTAL OF 10 MINUTES FOR IT! THE FIRST DROP IS THE BEST THERE IS ON ANY ROLLER COASTER! I MEAN ANY! IT'S SO STEEP ITS NOR FUNNY! THIS IS A MUST RIDE ROLLER COASTER! IF YOU DON'T RIDE THIS WHEN AT CEDAR POINT, YOU WILL REGRET IT! I MEAN IT! THIS IS THE BEST ROLLER COASTER. PERIOD. IF I COULD GIVE IT ANYTHING HIGHER THAN A 10, IT WOULD GET A 35 OUT OF 10, OR MAYBE HIGHER! Wow. Now thats what you call a rave review. Well, just listen to the capital lettered words. You must ride this sometime. It makes every coaster look short and unintense, maybe except for Dragster.

After la Force, I saw that Iron Dragon was warming up. Because nothing was open, and I had nothing better to do, I waited 10 minutes for it to open. From there it was a walk on.

Iron Dragon...7.5 out of 10. I have ridden 2 suspeneded coasters now. This and Big bad wolf at BGW. This was not as fun, but it was still enjoyable. The helix at the end over the misty pond thing made the ride twice as good than it already was. My littlest brother absolutely loved this coaster, and asked is we could go on it again every 5 minutes or so. So, Iron Dragon is not a must ride, but if you have time it’s worth a ride.

After Dragon, I saw that people were in the line for Mantis. I rushed onto it. The line was only 2 minutes long,. YIPPPEEEEEEEEE!

Mantis…8.5 out of 10. This was my first stand up coaster. I was a tiny bit disappointed, but that does not take a way the fact that Mantis is a great ride. It is so intense because you are standing up…no duh. I got a bit of roughness, but I didn’t feel that bad after the ride. The inversions are the best part of the ride, as with some other B&M’s. I rode it twice. The 2nd ride was much better for some reason. Maybe I was sitting—er…standing incorrectly. I saw some guy on the train before me try to sit down once the train left. He seemed in great pain after the ride.

After Mantis, I decided to walk down to Raptor. Unfortunately, the queue line was clogged, so I got a freeway stamp for 3 to 4 o clock. Because Blue Streak was close by, and I could still ride something before lunch, I rode that.

Blue Streak…8.7 out of 10. Cool! This was better than I expected it to be. This is one of roller coasters that shows that bigger isn’t better. (Of course, MF and TTD make that statement seem stupid.) I got lots of airtime. The ride feels like it’s going faster than it actually is, because Blue Streak is small. See? It can be an advantage! Even i

GREAT, EXCILLENT, DESCRIPTIVE TR! One of the best I've read. Sounds like you had a great time. Can't wait to get there this summer!

ME EITHER, sfo1. It's approaching fast...July 11th...

BTW: Yes, very good D-Force. Loved reading every second of it.

What part of Hotel Breakers did you stay in, if you can recall. The old part (the area with stairs only) or the newer areas (which both have elevators). If you stayed in the new part, could you describe it. I'd like to know what it was like as I will be staying there...

"I'd like to thank all the people who made Incredible Hulk, Titan, and Superman:Ride Of Steel (SFDL, a'course) possible...Big up to Intamin. You are some coaster geniouses. Gionvanola & B&M, I know you are one and the same...in so many ways. I get so choaked up at these moments..."

INCREDIBLE HULK IS THE BEST THRILL EVER!!! GET OUT AND RIDE THIS MONSTER!!

Thanks for all the good feedback guys! And MagnumMan, I think I stayed in the new part because it had stairs. It was pretty nice, didn't look that much different from the old part, and my room faced the lake, not the park. And some other things I didn't put in the TR. For anybody who has been to CP must know about the mayfly, or those 1 inch ong bugs with really long antannae and stingers, population. There were a few resting on a window. When I was getting ice cream, I saw a guy killing them by squishing them against the window and rolling the dead bugs he squished into a little ball. On the same ride as mine when I was riding mean streak, there was a hot young couple in the back of the train. When I got off and saw the pictures, the hot young couple were making out in the photo as if there was no tommorow. It looked nasty because they were kissing so damn hard. It must be hard to make out on mean streak because of the roughness. This makes it one of the worst couple coasters of all time, in my opinion...

Actually, D-Force I noticed I made a mistake in my question. The old area is the part of the hotel with nothing but stairs. Nothing else. So maybe this is where you stayed. If it is...then thanks for the advice!

BTW: Yeah, the bugs are a REAL problem @ Cedar Point.

Actually MagnumMan, there was an elevator near where I stayed, so I guess I was in the new part. I give you the right description,
