Photo TR: Cedar Point and GL 9/14-9/16
« on: September 17, 2007, 09:53:58 PM »
All I can say is go there now and ride Maverick, it's amazing! Oh yeah, stay on-site at Lighthouse Point it's great waking up and looking outside and seeing TTD testing!

I don't feel like writing up a huge TR so here is the a quick re-cap of my weekend...

-Friday nights at CP are DEAD!
-Bird lady is the bomb!
-Maverick exceeded my expectations!
-MF is just as good as it was 2 years ago!
-TTD is better than KK, I can watch that thing launch all day it's quite amazing!
-Slapping hands on Gemini was alot of fun!
-Finally got on Jr. Gemini!!
-Dominator is the best B&M floorless I've been on.


Nice view from the cabin!




Slap hands!!

I never knew you could slap hands on Gemini...thats really interesting to know...

TTD is slightly better than Ka, your right on that one, I also love how the park is lit up nice at night!

Since Maverick is having so many good reviews, i may just have to go out to Ohio and ride it myself

Great pictures. I am not surprised at all that you liked Maverick. I think it will be on my top 10 once I get to ride it. It looks like alot of fun and it is very original. Is the ejector on the two air-hills as forcefull as Toro's?

Maverick in the front seat is my very favorite coaster.

And my favorite INTAMIN rocket, by far, is in New Jersey.  As long as I am in the front seat of a train! :)

Nice pictures!  Did you ride Wildcat?

How'd ya get the Jr. Gemini credit?

How long were the lines on Friday night?  I also saw on the CP website that there's limited operations on Friday nights.  What exactly is closed?

Great pictures.  I especially like the one of TTD between your fingers! :)

I was there Friday night also, and again on Sunday.  The lines on Friday night were almost non-existent.  TTD was pretty much in the station the entire night with only about 10-15 minutes of downtime (to reset the launch) the entire night.   Maverick was probably the longest line in the park, and that was maybe 30 minutes.

Chuck and Dan got on Jr Gemini by using Jordan (Lori's daughter) and Melissa found her own kid to ride with.

Corkscrew, Mine Train, Gemini and MaxAir were the major attractions that were closed on Friday. By 8 or 9 Dragster only had a 4 train wait for the front row. It was quite a night. They even allowed (encouraged) rerides on Maverick for the last 2-4 trains and on Gemini.

Nice pics too Chuck, mine will be up on Thursday I hope.


Yeah, that sucks about Chiller...I hate to see it like that. Hey, so we should get a group picture or something ok. I'll call you later!

Sounds excellent!  Guess our next CP trip will be on a Friday night in September.

GADVwow, yes I did ride Wildcat!
