The day after Cheese and Katie’s wedding, Brian, Jonathan and Kelsey headed over to Cedar Point! I haven’t been there in 10 years so it was exciting to get to ride some of the new rides. The fun actually started before we even got into the park. We checked into Castaway Bay (a hotel near the park) which had an awesome indoor water park and spent the afternoon going slides and playing in the water. They even had a roller coaster type slide which we road a few times.
That evening we went to the park to hit up a few rides while the lines were short. The first night we went on some of the wooden roller coasters such as Blue Streak, Mean Streak (evil ride) and the Gemini along with the Magnum, Iron Dragon and Mantis. The next morning we woke up early and headed out again. The nice thing about getting to stay at Castaway Bay was that they allowed us to enter the park an hour early. This meant we could get in line for some of the big rides before it got busy. The first stop of the day was Millennium Force, my favorite ride. After that we headed over to Maverick, Raptor and the turnpike cars just to name a few. The best part of the day had to be, without a doubt, going on Top Thrill Dragster. It’s a roller coaster that shoots you out at 120 miles an hour 420 feet straight up in the air. I recommend going on it if you ever have the chance. Here’s a picture just to show how intense it really is:

All in all, this was an incredible weekend. We’re looking forward to going back again soon! There was just one last thing we had to share. Quite possibly the funniest part of the entire weekend is that we went to Prehistoric Forest. For those of you that have seen Tommy Boy, you’ll like this:
Ooooo, Prehistoric Forest
