Cedar Point ROCKS!!!

Here's some pics form my trip to Cedar Point on Saturday.
I have already posted the Corvette and Enzo we saw on the way there.

Start w/a smaller coaster.


The Power Tower.


According to Cedar Point, The 2nd Largest and 2nd Fastest Roller Coaster in the World, The Millennium Force.


Now, According to Cedar Point, new for this year, The Worlds Tallest and Fastest Roller Coaster, Top Fuel Dragster. This Ride was WELL worth the 3 hr wait. It goes 0-120 in 4 sec. 429ft tall.


And the Top Fuel Drag Car beside the Ride in Honor of this rides opening day.

I think the Millenium Force is as close as I wanna be to the biggest and baddest coaster. I hate heights, so I think Top Fuel is a lil over the top for me. :o

Glad you had such a good time, though.

Those coasters look like fun, but a 3 hour wait is too long. My favorite is X at Magic Mountain, in Southern California.

I went on the Millenium force when I was there last year and it was cool as all hell, but that top fuel dragster scares the livin' S**t out of me. I mean seriously. I was looking at a picture of it and it dwarfs the Millenium. It was an aerial view which is why I say it dwarfs it. I honestly think the only way someone is going to get me on that ride is to knock me out or get me so drunk I have no idea what's going on.

Man that place looks bad ass! All I've got really close to me is AstroWorld It's been ages since I've been there so maybe its gotten a little better but the rides are definately not up to par in my opinion. Where did you post the pics of the Enzo???

I've been aching to go on the Top Fuel Dragster for almost a year since I first read about it.

Holy shit that'd be fun to ride that Top Fuel Dragster one, that's quick shit. Btw, I think the ride in the movie House on Haunted hill would be cooler, the elevator leading up and everything else the rollercoaster does, we were talkin bout that right before we rode the rollercoaster on top of the Stratosphere in Vegas, made the thrill all that much better having the fear of flying off at 30 mph almost a 1/4 of a mile up.
