The first day of vacation was weird. We had lots of bad things happen but good came out of them. The Blazer lost it’s brakes just inside the Ohio line. We pulled over at a rest area restarted the truck it was fine. We took the next exit & drove till we found a GM dealer. They said it was our hub (WTF does a hub have to do with brakes idk). So we had 3 hours to kill. We walked around this town. We stumbled upon the Spangler candy co. They make Dum Dum suckers, Circus peanuts & Candy Canes. We took a tour of their facility. It was fun & a nice surprise. Albeit a very expensive side trip. I do not think that the truck is all so fixed up.
Arriving at Cedar Point we find out the park is only open till 8. They are usually open till 10-11. Apparently staffing is difficult this time of year. I thought this would be a bad thing, but attendance is very low also. Our first day, in 2 hours we got to ride 6 coasters. We rode the Magnum twice. Then to top it all off we let the lady guess my age…….she guessed 31 SWEET! (36 actually) I won stuffed doggieJ
The second day we got up early to get in front of the line at the newest ride. Maverick is not the fastest or tallest but many 0 G’s, then strait to heavy G’s. You never knew which way you were going to turn of which G you were going to experience. We were the second train going out. We did run back to the ride though. No need for the gym this week we made up for it in walking running & climbing steps. We got on the very best rides more than once. We rode more coasters this time than another time we have been here due to the lack of other people here.
The third day we slept in & went to Soak city. Now at this point I’m very tired of the prices of everything & the way you are suckered into having to spend. In our package deal we got coupons I thought 2 tickets into soak City. No it was a free one day pass with purchase of a one day pass. The one day pass run $29.00. There is no way that RJ & I can spend a whole day in that place. Of coarse we paid it, Our plans were laid. Once inside lockers are like $5.00.
All & all very awesome very expensive trip!
I recommend everyone attend Cedar Point. The rides are the best thrills ever. I also recommend spending more than one day. Three days may be one to many.J Next time I will bring food & drinks ($3.00 bottled water)
