Roller coasters galore!

Cedar Point amusement park is INCREDIBLE. I did all the coasters and had a blast. Wear good walking shoes, because you'll be walking around all day.

First, the Top Thrill Dragster is not to be missed. It'll take your breath away, literally, as it goes from 0 to 120 in 4 seconds and climbs to over 400 feet in the air. Of course, the whole ride is over in 20 seconds, but it's well worth the wait.

Mantis is the first coaster of its kind - you actually stand when you ride it. It's a little hard on the crotch, as you've got a bicycle seat-type-thing at your bottom and a shoulder harness to keep you squeezed in. Going upside down six times while you're standing up is a real kick.

The Mean Streak is a HUGE wooden coaster that is well worth riding. It shakes you up some, but if you don't mind the bruises, go for it.

The Raptor is a suspended coaster, which leaves your feet free to swing in the breeze. These kinds of coasters are fun, but not thrillsville for me. I went on the very front this time, though, which makes all the difference. It's a much better ride without the other seats in front of you.

The water rides were great, as it was ridiculously hot all day. The WCM and I got totally drenched. It was all good, though, because the skies opened up and it started raining. We spent a day and a half there. It was worth it.
