This past Saturday my friends and I took a trip down to Sandusky, Ohio to Cedar Point Amusement Park. The home of the former (within the last 10 years) tallest rollercoaster drop in the world. We arrived at the park around 2:30 pm and left around midnight. Now, most people would assume we were rollercoastered out by then but on the contrary Cedar Point was soooo busy that we were only able to ride 4 rollercoasters. This would make most people frustrated but for us we had a blast just standing in line hanging out.
The most daring ride we went on was called Dragster, pictured above. It taunted us with a top speed of 120 mph. We waited for about 2 hrs to ride this one and the ironic thing was the ride only took 25 seconds to complete. It was totally worth it for those who kept their eyes open!
Millennium Force was the most fun and our finale, it was also the one with the huge drop. When we boarded the ride it was 11pm and the lake surrounding the point was pitch black and fog had rolled in. We couldn't even see the track through the fog which really gave the illusion that you were falling to your impending death, which made the experience that much better.
Once we finished the rides we took advantage of Cedar Point's Hallo-weekends, which occur the four weeks leading up to Halloween. The park employs people to dress up like monsters and spontaneously jump out at non-suspecting people. The girls jumped a mile every time someone jumped out! It was quite entertaining! After about an hour of being spooked we called it quits and caught some late dinner at a 24hr diner, which hit the spot. Everyone concluded the night by driving back to Michigan arriving home at about 4:30am, 19 hrs after waking up. It was a fun filled day that served as a perfect weekend diversion
