Thanks! I might try if I have the time to, it's summer vacation so yeah. I liked Maverick for a LOT of reasons. In specific, the beyond vertical drop, it was super smooth, it was violent (in a good way), and it was really long. My favorite part was definitely the hidden launch

Great minds think alike! Yeah, I rode it.

CEDAR POINT PART 2

Mainstream shot. Sue me, I dunno

Don't you just love on-ride shots?

[Image: thumb_img_1433_4.jpg]
As we were about to sit down for lunch, B&M took 24 more riders as their own

R.I.P. Ron Toomer

The thrill seekers wait patiently for the mechanics to do their magic.

[Image: thumb_img_1439_5.jpg]
Shinny!

[Image: thumb_img_1440_3.jpg]
Coaster #5 was the one, the only Magnum! The coaster that started the idea of putting the tallest height in the name.

Seriously, think about it. Magnum Extra-large-200 feet tall. So don't blame Carowinds for having the dumb idea of Fury 325.

[Image: thumb_8070304_060316_000001870.jpg]
Was I the only one enjoying it? (I'm in the front row next to my sister)

[Image: thumb_img_1443_4.jpg]
Flat ride #1 was Pip Squeak (Pipe Scream)

[Image: thumb_img_1445_2.jpg]
They are like the Larson Super Loop of Cedar Fair

[Image: thumb_img_1446_4.jpg]
Coaster #6 was Gemini because it was right there. My first thought was, TBH, a wooden Vertigorama, without SBNO for over 30 years

[Image: thumb_img_1447_6.jpg]
But then again, Vertigorama was by Intamin. Arrow coasters don't seem to break down all the time

[Image: thumb_img_1448_4.jpg]
Yes, we haven't forgotten you yet Millennium Force. 

[Image: thumb_img_1450_5.jpg]
Coaster #7... KIDDIE CREDIT

[Image: thumb_img_1449_4.jpg]
Time to tangerine out

[Image: thumb_img_1451_6.jpg]
SHAKE DAT @$$ WOODSTOCK

[Image: thumb_img_1452_5.jpg]
Why does Cedar Fair make a big deal out of vomiting, big enough to rope off the Maverick entrance

[Image: thumb_img_1454_10.jpg]
Coaster/Credit #8 was Mean Streak, the coaster the park is trolling RMC markers (Seriously, look at Cedar Point's screamscape)

[Image: thumb_img_1453_8.jpg]
The ride was rough, I agree with that. But it wasn't that terrible, the speed and intensity made up for it.

[Image: thumb_img_1455_3.jpg]
Maverick has people on it? SIGN ME UP FOR RE-RIDES

[Image: thumb_img_1457_6.jpg]
Sorry Cedar Fair, but if you want operations to go faster, then you brought this upon yourself

[Image: thumb_img_1459_5.jpg]
Look who humped a horse! You 12 lucky ducks!

[Image: thumb_img_1460_8.jpg]
Everybody on this website should be able to answer these questions. I'm not kidding, the first one asked how tall Magnum XL-200 is

[Image: thumb_8070402_060316_000005020.jpg]
I'll leave you with my on-ride photo

Part 3 coming soon!

After we re-rode Maverick, we took a quick 20 minute "intermission" in our Hotel Breakers room because we all needed a nice break to rest our legs.

CEDAR POINT PART 3

[Image: thumb_img_1504_2.jpg]
Break time's over! Funny enough, in the same area, there are two coasters very similar to my home park (SFGAm)

[Image: thumb_img_1505_7.jpg]
I feel there's something missing in this... oh yeah, it needs a coaster to feel complete.

[Image: thumb_img_1506_4.jpg]
This is a seriously large resort! Somehow it's not nearly as big as the smallest Disney hotel

[Image: thumb_img_1509_4.jpg]
And this is Big Wheel. But WAIT! There's more!

[Image: thumb_img_1510_7.jpg]
No no no, not Raptor. Oh, MaxAir is there too

[Image: thumb_img_1511_4.jpg]
Coaster #9, yeah!!! Entrance Guarder! Sorry for no photos after this, I needed to clear some disk space and I didn't have time to take many more photos.

[Image: TUtAGom.jpg]
Well I did save this GateKeeper photo

[Image: thumb_img_1513_7.jpg]
Number 10... *drumroll* VALRAVN. Hey, no need for that language! It's better than Rougarou

[Image: thumb_img_1514_11.jpg]
Two B&Ms going through elements at the same time, one of the best shots I took this trip

[Image: thumb_img_1515_5.jpg]
WIPEOUT... wait, we don't get ABC. We have the luxury of Fun TV

[Image: thumb_img_1529_7.jpg]
This is a nomination for my favorite coaster drops, probably because it was my first dive coaster

[Image: thumb_img_1532_6.jpg]
With all this twisted steel, it's somehow missing a splashdown  :?

[Image: thumb_img_1516_8.jpg]
Don't worry, we haven't forgotten about you, flat rides! We just know that you'll never live up to Canada's Wonderland 

[Image: thumb_img_1519_9.jpg]
Top Thrill Downtime took a step out of it's comfort zone

[Image: thumb_img_1524_8.jpg]
Waste of money if you ask me

[Image: thumb_img_1526_6.jpg]
Hey kids, wanna jump under Snoopy's poop shoot?

[Image: thumb_img_1528_6.jpg]
WHEEE!

[Image: XjZAE9G.jpg]
After that, I got no photos for it, but I did 2 Magnum re-rides

[Image: thumb_img_1531_4.jpg]
Number 11 was Corkscrew, right in the midway!

[Image: thumb_img_1533_4.jpg]
Finally! We got to Raptor after a day of breakdowns!

[Image: thumb_img_1535_7.jpg]
Love the speed of that drop

[Image: thumb_img_1536_5.jpg]
Since when is a Raptor or any type of Dinosaur related to China?

[Image: thumb_img_1537_2.jpg]
Best photo I've taken for the Cedar Point day

[Image: thumb_img_1538_5.jpg]
No queue lines is one good after effect to long downtime

[Image: thumb_img_1541_3.jpg]
"They look taller on TV!"

Thanks! Yes, all of them were

Finally, don't blame me, I'm a procrastinator...

FINAL CEDAR POINT UPDATE

[Image: thumb_img_1542_6.jpg]
How could you not ride Raptor when these lines are so short?

[Image: thumb_img_1543_5.jpg]
I feel sorry for everyone too busy riding Valravn that can't experience this amazing Inverted coaster  :cry: 

[Image: thumb_img_1548_7.jpg]
Does anyone else know any other B&M Inverts that have the doors in the station besides this and Banshee?

[Image: thumb_img_1549_5.jpg]
The last two rides (I got no photos of them) were Blue Streak and Wicked Twister. Until next time Cedar Point!

I don't feel like putting in links for all the individual POVs I took, so just go here:
