A few months back Danielle and Sarah had received free tickets to Cedar Point for donating blood at an American Red Cross event at Eastern Michigan University. So, on Saturday Danielle, Sarah, Bo, and I drove down to Sandusky, OH and the park.
After a breakfast at Perkins (sort of like Denny’s or IHOP, but not crap) we headed into the park.
Part-way through the day we were going to take the train back to the front of the park, visit the car, then get some food, but weirdly we ended up running into Brian Cors and his wife Debbie. They were waiving to us from the train and while it took us a few minutes to recognize them from that far away, eventually we realized who they were and made arrangements to meet up with them. We all wandered around together for the rest of the day, in and out of the HalloWeekends haunted areas, and on various rides.
Here’s the list of rides and attractions visited between Danielle and I, in order:
Troika (Thrill Ride)
Wicked Twister (Roller Coaster)
Corkscrew (Roller Coaster)
Witches’ Wheel (Thrill Ride)
Gemini (Roller Coaster)
Cedar Creek Mine Ride (Roller Coaster)
Mean Streak (Roller Coaster)
Cedar Point & Lake Erie Railroad (Tranquil Ride)
Iron Dragon (Roller Coaster)
Mantis (Roller Coaster – Steve only)
UNDERTAKER U (Haunted House – Danielle only)
Terror Island (Scare Zone)
Raptor (Roller Coaster)
In order to get a better feel for using the Olympus Stylus 850 SW I brought it along on the trip, so there’s a few photos of the rides and such available. These photos can all be seen here in the album Cedar Point (October 2008) if you would like to see them.
