Do I ever have the story to tell. Me and a few friends of mine took a 3 day trip to Cedar Point, only to have TTD closed for the first 2 days. The third day we were there we decided to chill at the beach (TTD once again closed) and went to Soak City at about 5. Then at around 6:30, we noticed TTD testing....with a tester! We ran as fast as we could out of the water park....soaking wet, and bought a night pass to CP and got in line by 7. The ride opened at around 6:45....but broke down at around 7:30....before we even had the chance to get into the cue line. So we waited, and waited....and waited. The ride had 1 succesful test....but then followed with a roll-back. This caused almost everyone in the cue to leave, but we still held strong. 9:30 came, and my friends decided they had had enough, and left for a final ride on Millenium Force. But I held strong by myself. It had to be like 9:59, when all of a sudden a test went succesfully. Then another, and then another. After the 6th test.....they loaded riders! Everyone within sight of the ride let out an uproarious cheer. Soon after, (my friends frantically ran back to get in line with me...by the way) the cue was once again opened, and we went straight into the station. Keep in mind, its now like 10:30, but the amazing crew never gave up, and stayed with us and let us ride. We got on, and good god, it was the most amazing experience I have ever had. The pre-launch anticipation is almost too much, and I am at a loss for words to describe the launch itself. It is the most amazing sensation of speed I have ever felt. The ride up the tower is incredible, the crest is air time heaven, and the spiral is downright glorious. This is one of, if not the best roller coaster I have ever been on, and the 4 hour wait was more than worth it. This was the greatest experience I have ever had in ANYTHING, and I am forever indebted to the people of Cedar Point for building the ride, and the operators for working 4 hours to get the ride working again. Other parks may have given up, but the amazing people at Cedar Point put the customer first, and this amazing ride is a testament to how great of a park it is. |
