Cedar Point Recap

A play by play of Cedar Point.....

We left at midnight in a slight downpour. I was worried about the weather, considering it was looking bad on weather.com. The bus ride was nice, the roads were clear and we were able to make record time. We arrived at McDonalds, yes, The McDonalds, and ate breakfast. I tried their iced mocha, not impressed. We left for the park in slight rain and cloudy skies. When we arrived twenty minutes later, we gathered under a pavilion and waited for almost an hour and a half. We warmed up and ran through the fight song. The rain showed no sign of letting up. At 10:13, our guides came out and we lined up. The parade had begun!!! We marched through the park and around a small loop. Our total time was 8 minutes. But, the best part was the rain suddenly stopped!! I coudn't believe our luck. We quickly put the instruments away and headed back into the park for 11.5 hours of rollar coasters.

I hung out with the "not so sure if rollar coasters are our thing" group all day. We had a great time. I played my wealth down in Time Crisis, my favorite arcade game. I was also witness to perhaps the world's most insane ride, the Dragster. This ride shoots you to 120 mph in two seconds and then up 22 stories. Yes, straight up. And then, straigt down. The total time is 14 seconds. It's nuts. In fact, they built grandstands just so people could watch. We cheered as every Batavia kid bravely took their place.

The kids had a great time as they piled back on the bus at 10:20 pm. Within minutes, the bus was silent and we were on our way back. Not only had we dodged rain, but the park was barely populated because of a poor weather forcast.

We arrived at AGS around 4 am and I arrived at my place around 6 am. I slept until 5 pm the next day.

Best band trip ever.
