Cedar Point

Looking wet and miserable but still smiling!

O-H-I-O!

Saturday Mandi, Sam, Josh, Sam's sister and mum and I all drove the 2 and half hours to Cedar Point in north of Ohio near to Cleveland and the lakes. It was open from noon-midnight so we got there just before 1pm. The rain was drizzling and was pretty cold so some of the rides weren't running all the time. Managed to get on some rides...one coaster where it runs in a straight like and twists up at each end so just goes back and forth but it was pretty fast! Went on a couple mroe rides and starting queuing for one that look the scariest. Called Millenium Force. The queue was 45 mins, which was the average for all the rides, and when we were 2nd to get on the next train, they announced they were taking 2 of the 3 trains off the tracks to leave just one train running. Fair enough. But then after 10 mins or so they announced the ride was down due to mechanical failure and didn't know how long it would take. We didn't mind having waited that time and not getting on because you don't exactly want to be one of the firsst few back on a ride thats just had mechanical disfuntion! And also the rain has started to drizzle a bit too and it was dark at this point. So we had some Panda Express then headed to the Halloween things they had as a special throughout October. One was called 'Corn Stalkers' which was a walk through through a corn field maze in the dark with staff in costumes jumping out. Had to hold Mandi's arm and run through! Visited another similar thing called 'Insane Asylum' which was a walkthrough of a set up of a psychiatric ward and again staff were jumping out with freaked out masks and things. I couldn't tell if I was screaming or laughing. But it was pretty terrifying! The rain was still going on and at this point we were all really miserable so we headed home about an hour before closing.
