Cedar Point

Matt and I had a day off together on Friday so we had planned to go to Sandusky, Ohio, which is a couple of hours from us to go to Cedar Point. If you don't know what this is it is kind of like Six Flags. We woke to a rainy day, but we were lucky enough to have clear skies and only one hour of rain while we were actually at the park.



I am not sure if I have ever pointed out Matt's fun grandpa sunglasses, but this is a good shot of them. Aren't they cute?



After a forced lunch break because of the rain, the line started forming quickly for this ride, the Maverick. It was one of the best roller coasters they had. Smooth and fast!



Matt is taking a time out!



This is a before shot of this roller coaster. On this ride, you climb almost straight up and then drop almost straight down. After that it was pretty much a blur. I thought I was going to loose my stomach on this ride! It was fast and turned and twisted and who knows what else because I was just trying to keep it together the entire time.



After the dreaded ride. Are we done for the day?



Matt is "Driving Miss Daisy" on this ride. We cooled things down after lots of too fast rides in a row. It seems that when we rode in the old fashioned cars when I was young that they went a lot faster. I think we were hauling at 2 miles per hour.



Look, no hands!






More spinning!



Matt wanted to try this ride again. It is called maXair and that is exactly what you get. It is such a weird sensation to be so high and spinning at the same time. Yuck. Once is all I could handle so I took pictures.






One ride that we didn't get to take a picture of was called Top Thrill Dragster. This one has a drag racing feel where you shoot off the line and go 120 miles per hour and up really high and then come sailing back down while making a slight twist on the way up and down. It is totally thrilling and scary at the same time. Plus, the anticipation at the starting line is so intense. I think this was one of our most favorite rides and we got to do it twice. We had such a great day, and the weather was perfect.
