How many EC'ers would be up for getting together at Cedar Point sometime this summer? I go almost every year, and was considering getting a season pass this year with some friends.

So I figure there's gotta be a bunch of you guys that go there, so why don't we see if we can all go at once?

I went to Cedar Point once.

I have one thing to say about it:

Four hour line for the Raptor.

The time I went we showed up when the park opened. Got in line for the mantis, rode the raptor, power tower, and Mean Streak, and...that's it...by then it was almost midnight.

You need to go in the less populated season.

We rode the Gemini 10 times in the space of an hour.

And to boot, you didn't even ride the Iron Dragon.

Hehe, I only live an hour away from Cedar Point.

I've only been there once and I was there only half of the day. I rode the Raptor, Mantis, Power Tower, Cork Screw, Millenium Force, Mean Streak, Gemini, Iron Dragon Thingy, and a couple minor rides. Booyah!

EDIT: Forgot name.

There's a few tricks to getting around said lines(no, not line hopping).

First, you can go to the heavy lines during meal times(4-6pm)

Second, they've got this great new system where you get in line WAY before you get on the ride(wait wait, it gets better), you wait in line for like 10-20 minutes, get a stamp with a one hour arange on it(ex. 7-8pm), and then, when you come back during that time, you get to go basically to the front of the line. They give out only a limited number of stamps for each hour.

Last time I went, I hit every big ride except the Mantis(I hate the Mantis) in only a few hours. Had the rest of the day to go to the water park and other cool stuff, along with hitting the Millenium Force again.

I went earlier this summer, this was my day, in order:

Wicked twister, front seats
Power tower UP
Gemini
Magnum
Iron Dragon (I had a couple minutes to kill)
LUNCH
Mantis, front seats
Power tower DOWN
Wicked Twister, back seats (better than front)
Millennium Force, front seats (OMFG)
Raptor
Raptor, front seats
Raptor, front seats

I may have missed a ride in there, but all in all, was a fun day.

I'd be interested in going again.

Sometimes the Gemeni has no line at all, so the only time you're not riding it is during the time it takes you to get back on it again.

Or the millenium magnum thingy whatever. I know, it sucked. We went in late summer, toward the end of august.

On the upside, the line for the raptor was interesting, because at one part there's a walkway that crosses over the line for the pre-line waiting area, and it's made of grating, so you get free upskirts from all the girls who get on.

1) How many women wear dresses/skirts to Cedar Point?
2) Just go to the water park if that's what you wanna see!
3) Millenium Magnum? The Millenium Force is an awesome ride.

It KILLS your legs. Every time I've ridden it, I got off and my legs hurt. A lot. More than the ride(and the wait) was worth. Some people like the whole "standing roller coaster" idea, I guess. Some people apparently ride it, and it doesn't bother them at all, either.

I don't care where you're from, or who ya know.

The Sidewinder pwns every single rollercoaster you have ever been on.

You sit in the seat, then start going backwards (Wtf?) until, up in the back seat (The BESTEST SEAT EVER), you're about 150 feet off the ground.

Then, at a random amount of time (It's operator triggered. TEE HEE) you'll hear a small click. Then you'll go screaming through the station at a hojillion miles an hour. Once through, you'll start to corkscrew left. Once you're upright, you'll corkscrew the OTHER way, so eventually, you're facing the opposite way you were in the station. Then you'll do a loop, and go up another hill, and gain a moment of quite respite.

The gears catch, and you're slowly pulled up to the top of that hill (~130 feet or so), and given a moment to reflect on most of the rest of the park.

Then, a familiar click is heard, as you go screaming backwards through the loop, the corkscrews, and into the station.

Best.
Ride.
Ever.

It is in Jackson, it's like a half-hour drive, maybe less. Ever since like when I was 16 I have trouble with the harnesses on the coasters though, shoulders too big…That and some are just way to fucking small, like the Scream Machine’s harness.
