Cedar Point

Welcome to Cedar Point.

This place is amazing.

Got to love a park that still has a Sky Ride.

Raptor.

Still one of the best inverteds out there.

Blue Streak.

The oldest coaster here at the park is still a great ride.

Cedar Downs.

Iron Dragon.

Iron Dragon is one of only a handful of suspended coasters left in the world.

Mantis.

Mantis is a decent ride, I am just not a big fan of stand up coasters.

Millennium Force.

This is probably one of the most "perfect" coasters out there.

Maverick.

I wish I could like this coaster, but the restraints make it impossible.

Mean Streak is just horrible.

Cedar Creek Mine Ride.

The leg room on this coaster is horrible for tall people.

Gemini is a great racing coaster.

 

Woodstock's Express is faster than the Mine Ride.

Magnum XL-200

Much like Maverick, if the train had better restraints, this would be a great ride.

Top Thrill Dragster.

This is an amazing ride - but I refuse to wait very long for it.

I love how Corkscrew goes over the midway.

Power Tower is almost too tall for the technology it uses - it's not as forceful as the smaller towers.

This Windseeker probably has the best location in the chain.

The ferris wheel has a much better location on the beach then when it was back by the train depot.

Wicked Twister.

This is probably one of of my guilty pleasure rides.

GateKeeper - the newest coaster at the park.

I enjoyed the ride.  I found that the left side back was probably my favorite spot to ride.

Another great day at the Point!

Kings Island

Welcome to Kings Island.

The big news is that something is happening on the old site of Son of Beast.

First ride of the day would be Flight Deck.

I really enjoy the old Arrow suspended coasters.

They are just so unique.

Drop Zone is always a fun ride.

I took a lap on Invertigo due to its short line.

Delirium is a great ride.  I always take a spin on it when I'm at the park.

The ending on this mine train cracks me up every time.

Racer time.

I like that you are able to ride in a middle seat here not on a wheel.  Much better ride.

Flight of Fear.

I like this ride.  I hate how slow it loads.

This is a great looking coaster.

It rides like crap.

Windseeker is fun, but you cannot see really anything with its location.

The final tunnel sequence on this ride is amazing.

The best wooden coaster in the world ... at night.

Night rides on the Beast at night are a must.

This big snake is one of the better B&M hypers out there.

Lots of airtime.

This will always be Runaway Reptar to me.

and this will always be Beastie.

I suck at this blasters ride.

Time to go up in the Eiffel Tower.

Let's take a look around.

This is where Son of Beast was located.

Thanks for an awesome day, Kings Island.

Verruckt Construction (Schlitterbahn)

It looks like they might have to go below grade with the first drop and pull out into the airtime hill.

I'm not sure if this was planned or a screw up on calculations.

They are going to make it work though.

More slide pieces waiting to be placed.

I still think this looks very wrong.

This will be the bottom of the first drop.

These are the supports for that drop.

Again.  This is not right.

The stairs continue to climb.

They have a lot of work left to do on those stairs.
