I didn't notice it until we went out to the car for lunch. The crane was gone by the time we left though.

That's what I thought but wasn't 100% sure.

Thanks, I think I made quite a few people jealous. I also took some videos of TTD. Not the best but I like them all.

Late last night my friend Shirley(need_for_speed) and I decided we were going to go to Cedar Point today instead of Kings Island. We got a late start and didn't leave my house until 8:30. We arrived at the parking tolls at CP at exactly 12 noon. Our first ride of the day was Blue Streak with a 20 minute wait. This was my first time on this old woody and was pleasantly surprised by the airtime. We then headed over to TTD. We waited about an hour and rode in row 5. This was only my second ride on TTD and I put my hands up for the whole ride. We started to get hungy after TTD so we headed out to the car for lunch. After re-entering the park, we hit up Raptor. Had about a 10 minute wait. After Raptor, we decided to to to MF. Waited 30 minutes. We rode in row 2 and boy was I surprised. I absolutely loved the drop and actually got airtime on the hills. After MF, we walked around to the back of the park. Rode Mean Streak because it was a walk on. After MS, we rode Gemini. It was also a walk on but they were running both sides. I got up pretty bad in the final helix. We decided our last ride of the day would be on Magnum. Waited about 20 minutes. Rode in the back seat of the second to last car. I was already sore after Gemini but after this, I could barely walk. We wanted to get back before dark, so we left the park at around 530. I'll post the pics as soon as I get them uploaded.

Visiting Wednesday
you should ask her on the lift of DB, that's where I'm planning to.

Other route to get to CP (than using 6)
Sorry I can't help you. Whenever I go, we always take I71 to St Rt 250. It's the fastest way from where I live

WEAR A PROPER SHIRT!
I don't know how guys can stand wearing those shirts with no sides. I wouldn't be caught dead in one.

Your Single Best/Epic Coaster Ride
Mine would probably have to be a ride on MF at night. Coming up over lift falling down into the fog not knowing when the drop ended. 2nd best ride of my behind DB at night.
-
Son of Beast gone, Yes or No?
It's not my favorite coaster. But I don't wanna see it gone.
-
Flying Objects
I've had so many people spit and/or spit gum out while on the outside rows and it hit me. I yell at them everytime.

Same here

Graying out on coasters with high Gs
That seems like a pretty high number to me. I'd think it'd be somewhere between 2.5-3.5 G's
-
Stalker's Glamorous PTR
I can't beleive I missed that. That'll be a lesson not to leave early no more.
-
Am I getting to old for rides?!
I'm like you. I can handle all the coasters but get me on anything that spins I'm done except for Delirium. I can't ride avatar without feeling sick
-
Stalker's Glamorous PTR
I forgot all about that. How could I forget that?
-
Flying Objects
sounds like something I'd do as well

6-13/6-14 TR
Thanks everyone, this is something we'll have to do again. It was great hanging out with you all.

Flying Objects
I saw a phone or ipod fly away from DB on the 3rd hill.

6-13/6-14 TR
I didn't want to skip it but my friend had to leave. She had to drive to Marion tonight and didn't want it to be late. The average wait time for DB saturday was about 20-30 minutes but we didn't mind waiting.
