Missy got free tickets to Cedar Pointe in a pop bottle from the vending machine at work a few months ago. Little did we know it would take this long to get around to going. We went with Ron, Jen, Boris and Radika with an average temperature of 40 degrees and winds so high that some of the rides were closed. Unfortunately this included Raptor (my favorite ride) and Top Thrill Dragster along with a few other lesser-known rides. The rides that were open either had a very long line or no line at all. There didn't appear to be any method to the madness either. Blue Streak had an hour long wait, but Iron Dragon had no wait at all. We decided to hit all the rides with no lines which of course included Disaster Transport, formerly known as Avalanche Run (then covered and renamed) so I introduced Ron and Jen to the joys of screaming "Disaster" on the ridiculously lame ride. On the plus side I rode Wicked Twister for the first time ever, and it is by far the best ride in the park. Nowhere else can you alternate looking straight at the ground and straight at the sky while weightless. Here are the pics from our trip.
