My parents, my friend, and I all got in the car Sunday night and headed for Sandusky. We stayed in the Maui Sands "resort". Before I talk about Cedar Point, I have to talk about this hotel. I highly suggest not staying there. It's old. run-down, and the doors from the outside to the inside were unlocked the entire night. Not to mention that they had to do repairs on the waterslides from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. today. The lifeguards seemed completely uninterested. Anyway on to the visit. Here is a rundown of everything I did today: *Note: I did purchase the Fast-Lane Plus wristband for my visit. Ocean Motion Millennium Force Rougarou (This easily is in my top 5 favorite rides now. I was so impressed of what they made an average ride into!) Maverick (Love the new restraints) Mean Streak (Very painful as usual) Maverick Magnum Corkscrew Tried to ride Wicked Twister but I was too tall for those OTSRs Gatekeeper Raptor (While waiting in line, I noticed that somehow I had ripped my pants. It wasn't a small hole either. I predict that this happened on Magnum, Corkscrew, or Gatekeeper.) Immediately after Raptor, my friend and I moved onto getting lunch since it was 2:00 p.m. by this point. I called my mom on the way over to Pink's and asked her if she could get me some new pants from the hotel. My Dad ended up wanting to leave after his experience on Mean Streak (his first roller coaster in 10 years) and was glad to go back to the hotel to get me some new shorts. Millennium Force (Met up with my Mom so I could get my shorts) Tried to ride Rougarou but it was broken down Tried to ride Top Thrill Dragster but is was broken down Millennium Force Iron Dragon WindSeeker Dodgem's Gatekeeper Extreme Sports Show WindSeeker We had dinner at the Cool Joe's Cafe. I had the same thing I had at Pink's and it was just as good. Top Thrill Dragster Skyhawk Gemini Rougarou WindSeeker Gatekeeper (We got in line at about 9:55. It immediately broke down and stayed that way until about 10:20 when they sent 3 test runs. Still, no one was able to ride. At about 10:35, two mechanics showed up and went into the operator's booth. They sent one test run and that was all they needed to see. They were finally letting people back on after about 40 minutes. My friend and I ended up being on the last train of the night because everyone behind us in line gave up. This was at about 10:55. After the ride we sprinted to the front gate because we knew my parents were not happy. We got back our hotel at 11:30 and just couldn't stop talking about how awesome our day was.

I rode Gatekeeper for the last ride of the night last night (after it was down for 45 minutes). I thought is was pretty good especially seeing all of the colorful rides while going through the keyhole inversion. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

I'm 6'5" 290 and I fit on all rides with the exception of Drop Tower (I can ride but not comfortably). You will probably be fine but I'm not sure about Flight of Fear as your legs have to be pushed together very tightly.Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

80-something feet with a 62 mph top-speed? Not happening. EDIT: On the website it says 54 mph.

I'm a big guy and I personally like Firehawk's restraints. Last time I rode there was some wiggle room, but it's not going to make me not ride again. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Personally, I would take Gatekeeper, Raptor, and Maverick to move to KI. Cedar Point is a great park, and is very different from Kings Island. Also keep in mind that Cedar Fair did not own Kings Island for 30+ years so the design of the park is very different.

Inverted Roller Coaster 2 (RCT3 joke)

When you sit in class trying to draw the designs of coasters at KI on the back of your paper.

That flat ride sounds nice. It might be a bit out of the way considering it's in sort of a low traffic area. Personally, I don't ever notice the garden at all when walking through there.

That's so cool! Great job you two.

I've learned from experience that being 5-5 to 5-9 causes head banging on Vortex. Glad to be done with that.

Either Banshee or Beast.

New trains for Invertigo if possible.

Had a great day today. I got for the third year in a row the last ride of the year on FoF. Lights on of course.

Nice, not getting my hopes up to high. But still hopeful!

Racer in the front. That will give you the smoothest ride in my opinion.

A lanyard you can get so the characters don't scare you.Edit: Sorry didn't refresh the page.

Hopefully they have everything figured out such as how long the wait is when the line is "x" long.

I think it's where Mysteria used to be across from FoF

In a way, it seems fair but that's really unfortunate.

Suspended? I wasn't talking about suspended.

Yes but instead of converting to floorless, convert it to a stand up! Oh boy wouldn't that be fun.

All of them except for a B&M Wingrider instead of an Intamin.

What's the other one?

Cedar Point announces Rougarou, the "new" roller coaster coming to Cedar Point. The rumors are true, Mantis will be converted to a floorless coaster.
