Trip Report: Cedar Point on July 14, 2009

After a quick lunch at Costa Azul, it was on to the park to ride Paddlewheel Excursions to check out the mystery construction site, but first a quick ride on the Skyride.

Then it was onto the Cedar Creek Mine Ride and then, because it was almost time for Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I went to get on the train. Although, I got “sidetracked” into the Live Music in the Palace while I waited for the train to come.

After Signed, Sealed, Delivered it was time for dinner at the car.  Then it was onto the Wicked Twister Midway to ride the Space Spiral, Giant Wheel, maXair for my first and last time, and Troika.

I got off to an early start on this day and arrived at the park for early entry and hit Maverick.  Then it was on to Mean Streak, the Cedar Creek Mine Ride and Skyhawk.

Cedar Point - Skyhawk and Clock Tower

Being that it was almost noon and I had a small breakfast about 7am, I was hungry so I took the train back to main midway for a nice picnic lunch at the car.

After lunch I went on the Giant Wheel and I got some great pictures.

Next, it was time for an afternoon of shows.  I saw Got Country twice and Signed, Sealed, Delivered once hoping that if it was going to rain it would while I was in one of the shows.

In between the Signed, Sealed, Delivered and the second Got Country, I rode Wicked Twister, Disaster Transport and was rider 2402 on Blue Streak.

My day started off around 3:30 with a quick ride on the sky ride then I headed back to the back of the park to see Live Music at the Palace, and compared to Molly and Maverick, this show sucked!

Cedar Point - Skyride and Midway

This was the first time I saw it so I didn’t think it was that bad, but I went back another day and there was a girl also singing and the guy was singing the same songs that “people requested” the last time I saw the show.

Hopefully this show will not return or it will changed to something better. After that, I headed down the Frontier Trail to see Got Country.

Then after Got Country I went to see my second favorite show last year, and it was great!  It moved up to my #1 favorite show for the summer.  I heard that a lot of people didn’t like the new ending song, but after seeing it all summer, it grew on me and I loved it!

After Signed, Sealed, Delivered I took a quick dinner break at the car and then I headed over to the Wicked Twister Midway for a trip to Alaska on Disaster Transport and then a relaxing ride on the Space Spiral and the Giant Wheel.

Cedar Point - Giant Wheel

Wicked Twister was down for the night, so I passed that and headed to the Frontier Trail so I could film the setup of the Starlight Experience.

After that I went on a car ride on the Antique Cars and then headed down the Frontier Trail to experience the Starlight Experience after dark.

Then I headed over to the Wildcat Midway to see Hot Summer Lights.
If that wasn’t a fun enough day I ended it with a photo session in the Starlight Experience by putting it on a fence post and placing it on fireworks setting to get some pretty cool pics.

I arrived at the park around 6pm to enjoy a Friday night of late fun.  As soon as I got there, it started raining!

Cedar Point - Parking Lot

After a short downpour, it stopped and the rides reopened.  My first stop was Got Country.  After the show I headed back to Frontier Town and rode the Cedar Creek Mine Ride, Antique Cars, and then Mean Streak.

Cedar Point - Stockade Refreshments

Then it was onto my first Paddlewheel ride of the season, which was not good, the new captains still have a lot to learn!

Night was falling and it was on to see the Starlight Experience for the first time.  I thought it was pretty neat all of the lights and floats!
