Coaster Mania (Cedar Point)

COASTER MANIA 2007

Welcome to Cedar Point and Coaster Mania 2007

I hope to have a great day.  Thanks for the well wishes.

First up on ERT was Maverick

The harnesses on this ride make it really hard for me to enjoy it.

I'll be honest, I spent most of my ERT riding Millennium Force.

Millennium Force is easily my favorite steel coaster.

Raptor was also on morning ERT.

There was never a line though during ERT.  
Most people were back at Millennium Force and Maverick.

Time for a Q&A Session

I'll be honest we didn't learn much at the session.

Time for lunch.

Everyone in attendance got a lot of freebies from the park.

Night ERT was on Magnum.

I really wish this coaster liked me as much as I like it.  

ERT was also on Wicked Twister

They had it on Power Tower

The marquee attraction though was Top Thrill Dragster

Race for the sky!

Another great day at Cedar Point!

Coaster EXT (Geauga Lake)

COASTER EXT 2007

Welcome to Geauga Lake and Coaster EXT 2007

We didn't arrive until lunch time so let's go there first.

The park's GM hosted a Q&A session, that might not have been the best idea.

When you can't even answer the question "will the park be around next year"

Night ERT was supposed to have been on Raging Wolf Bobs.

Apparently it derailed earlier in the day.
Editor's note: the ride NEVER opened again for the season

ERT was switched to Big Dipper instead.

It's probably the best wooden coaster in the park anyway.

The park has another wooden coaster called Villain, but it's absolutely horrible

The park has a Vekoma SLC that rides decently.

Thunderhawk's lake setting adds to the ride.

Dominator is a B&M floorless rollercoaster.

Dominator was probably the best coaster on ERT.

Guys, I don't see much of a future for this park.  It feels really run down and just not a priority for the chain.  I hope I'm wrong.  It was a decent ACE event though.
