Cedar Point

Last Thursday we decided to do a 10 hour road trip up to Ohio and the worlds best Amusement park; Cedar Point. The park has 17 roller coasters and a bunch of other fun stuff to do. They have the most insane rides I have ever been on. Top Thrill Dragster for instance... It starts off by blowing you forward until you have reached 120 mph (200 km/h) then you turn straight up for 420 feet (128 m) goes over a small hill and then straight down while you're doing a twist. The ride is over after only 17 seconds, but daaaamn it was some scary seconds. Off course I had to put my arms up at the top of the track and held them there until the car was stopped! :D
Because of the wonderful invention of youtube, I can actually show you what it looks like!

Ignore the music


Other than that one, they have one of the tallest "Giga Coasters" in the world; the Millenium Force, we did the mistake of waiting until it was dark before riding that one, and since the train goes thru woods there was tons of bugs everywhere, and when you are going fast as hell straight in to bugs you get them everywhere. We actually didn't get that many bugs on us, but the guys sitting in the front seat had them everywhere!

Ignore the music after a while, it's ok in the beginning though.


The newest ride they have is called Maverick and damn that one was intense. It wasnt that high, but it had a 95 degree drop, and went fast as hell! The only problem with that one was that the lines where sooooo long. We waited in line for 2 hours and 45 minutes... it was worth it though :)



Other cool things they have is a ride that looks like a giant swing, that swings you so high and it feels like you are gonna fall to the ground any minute, very scary. Another ride that also is a big swing only that it has a big wheel on the end which spins around as you get swung from one end to another, also very scary. They had white water rapids that you got completely soaked in, and indoor coaster (which we didnt ride), tons of other coasters, wooden and steel, free fall drops etc etc.

It was a very very fun weekend and it was well worth both the 10 hour drive there and home, and the long long lines for the rides! So if you ever are considering going there, go go go!

So long, suckas!
