Welcome to Cedar point - Roller Coaster capital of the world

10.04.08 is a day to remember for all eternity. This shiny saturday in early October we went to Cedar point, home of the greaters Roller Coaster rides in the world. Here you can find 18 different rides, and a bounch of other stuff to get your bloodpresure rising. I don't know what else to write - IT WAS AWESOME!!!







This is the millenium force. With its first drop of 305 feet (100 meters), and speeds up to 95 mph (160 km/t) this is one of the talles and fastets rides in the world.

The Dragster - One of the biggest badboys of man-made thrill there is. Stretching 420 feet (140 meter) above the ground, accelerating from 0-126 mph (200 km/t) in less then 3 seconds, this is without doubt the most thrill roller coaster I've sat down on.





















Mean Streak is on of the tallest and fastest wooden coasters in the universe. It has a top speed of 105 km/t, and a 60 meter long vertical drop. Along with the Millenium force, this was my favorite ride.

Out of the 18 rides there, I got to ride 10 of them, which is very good, considering the average waiting time were supposed to be about 1 hour+ per ride and I were there for a total of 9 hours. In addition to the 10 roller coasters I did a bounch of other fun stuff too. Here are some pictures from Cedar Point.















Though this rotating sledgehammer was a "smooth-ride" - it was awesome!














The Power Tower - Launches you 300 feet (100 meter) up in the air and then you have 4 seconds of free fall, neat ;)











After 1 hour in line, you get bored and tired. Guess if our facial expression changed after the ride..









A Great day at Cedar Point - Recommanded to everyone with a thrill seeking heart!
