Day One

Note: This trip report is very very long. So I recommend to just look at the pics.

After waiting 2 years going to Cedar Point, I finally got there by my parents but my mom's friend Jackie and her husband, Glen took me there. I packed up my stuff including my laptop, and my Fuji camera. I went to Jackies house and slept there. I left the house around 6:30 am and went there. I arrived at CP around 12 and 1. I stayed at the Hotel Breakers for a couple days. Well here are the pics:

She gave us the tickets to the park, our keys to our room, and other stuff we had to sign.

Tomo gets her own restaurant.

After putting my stuff away, I went to the park with Jackie and Glen. I was not allowed to go on my own because I'm 16 and I can't be alone.

I HATE the police here. They are so damn serious that the last time when I was at CP my sister and her friend got caught at beach or something overnight.

Happy Birthday Magnum! I rode on it and it was awesome. :thumbs:

Raptor Rules the Sky at Cedar Point!

Raptor now has these POV things that they record you while you ride on it. It costs about $15 for each DVD. I didn't buy the DVD because Jackie told me that I was making funny faces and looks like "S*it." If I had the dvd and posted a video me riding it, I could get banned from the Zone for posting it.

I rode MF single from the very back so I took this picture from the Station.

Oh no! Godzilla is coming out from the water to destroy CP!

I remembered that the Maverick line used to be the White Water Landing water ride from 1999.

This was my first time riding Maverick. This might be my favorite coaster here.

Disaster Transport is a space theme coaster that is controlled by the Data Integration.

How long is that sign been there for?

Lights and Lines.

There was a new walk through thing during night time at Frontier Trail. Its a very cool night time thing to see. You should check it out once you come to the park someday.

Overall, it was a good day, BUT why are there more Asian workers this year?

Day Two

After Day one, I got up around 7:40 and went to the park at 9:00 for the early bird thing.

There was a line so I waited for 10 mins to go in.

I ran to Maverick and saw a 20 min wait.

I ran to Mantis and I saw that the ride was broken and the line was not closed so I went in. I had to wait for over an hour just for the ride to open. I was bored so I took some couple pictures.

This is how you ride Mantis.

The train seats looks smooth.

I asked the ride operator why the coaster was not open. He told me that the braking system was having a problem. The green things in the braking system were not working so I'm thinking that they replaced them.

Finally I rode on Mantis in the back. I really liked that coaster and its much better than Iron Wolf at SFGAm. Less bumpy than IW.

After the ride, my Fuji camera was F***ed up because it says "Focus Error" so I tried to fix it many times but won't work. Damn. :disappointed:

Thankfully, Glen had a kodak camera so I was very happy and I said thanks to him. The only problem with this camera is that there is a date on the downer right.

While riding on the Sky Ride, I noticed that the camera took my batteries down. Unfortunately, there are no more pics from me.

Overall, the vacation was really fun and now I'm back home seating on my laptop doing this trip report.

Sounds like fun, I was there in 2007 and loved it. I need to go back someday.

No you wouldn't as that's basically an official park POV since it uses their system and you didnt violate any park rules.

Did you ever stayed at the Hotel Breakers or any other CP hotel?

This is POV thing that I was talking about.

You said you couldn't go alone because you're 16. Is that a policy your parents or their friends imposed on this trip, or is that some new screwed up policy at CP? I went 3 years ago when I was 17 and was not bothered in the park (I'm making a guess that if there is a park policy, then the age restriction is at 18).
