As some of you may know, I left for Cedar Point on Saturday.  Went to the park all day sunday and most of the day Monday. Then we drove back Monday night. 

If you havent been there and like rollercoasters I would really urge you to go.  It was awesome.  Top Thrill Dragster and Millenium(sp) Force were the 2 best in my opinion.  As for the Raptor, I have been on better suspended rides in Bucsh Gardens Virginia(Ride was called Apeneist).

I have never been on a stand up ride before but when I rode Mantis(stand up rollercoaster) I hated it for some reason.  I just didnt like the standing part or something.

Anyways, If you havent been there, you should go.

Edit: Oh yeah, Magnum XL was also good.

I went around mid may.
It was awesome, Force was by far the best, and Top thrill was second.
That launch on top thrill, is such an amazing rush though.
I didnt like raptor, I got very sick from it.
As for mantis, didnt get sick, but it was really rough.

I went like two days before you cause you said when, when the opened that gates me and my friend rana s fast as we could to the dragster and only waited like 20 minutes. It pretty cool when it doesnt clear the hill and they get to go again.

How lnog did you wait for Millenium Force? We had to wait hour and 30 minutes.

Edit: I loved Mantis.

First day, my friend and I ran to Top Thrill waited for 20-30 min, only because we wanted first row.  Then the next day, we ran to Millenium Force but to find out, the line was already 2 hours becuase Top Thrill was down.  So we went back later still had to wait 2 hours, but it was worth it.

Ive been to busche gardens, its like 30 min away from me. Raptor made my stomach feel weird, and that never happens to me, so you can tell its a pretty intense ride.

Melinium force is the best ride i have ever ridden, though.

Been to cedar point hundreds of times. Its only like an hour away. I pretty much like every ride there. Love the wicked twister, especially first seat. Millennium is definitely the best. I go as a school trip every year. When I was there a few months ago, I was in line with my friend to ride the Top Thrill and it broke down right when we were about to get on! Never fixed it either.....

Sounds like many of you aren't too far away from me if you're relatively close to Cedar Point. I'm only about and hour.
