im no longer a cedar point virgin

[beck2003]

i finally went to cp for my first time friday! and well, if you feel like it u can read my ovderall opinion of the park. i really enjoyed it. however there were a few things that i was not impressed about at all. but ill go with the good first. the lines moved really fast, with the exception of ttd. everything was clean and the employees were semi-friendly, but ill get to that in a moment. the food...well, its theme park food so i wasnt expecting it to be dirt cheep (i ate a tgi fridays) and there was plenty plenty to do. now for the bad. ok i wasted more money on stupid lockers than anything put together in the park. now i understand that there are some rides (mf) that woulndt accomidate loose articles cause of the multiple stations. but rides like mean streak made me carry my $400 digital camera on board. call me crazy, but if there are no lockers out front of the ride, my only assumtion is that maybe they have a compartment or something to put them in in the station. or maybe the host at the front of the line couldve informed me that i needed to make alternate arrangements with my stuff. did they??? no. same with magnum. also, i dont know, maybe its just me again, but is it not extremely dangerous to carry aboard loose articles? yes! i work at dejavu at sfog, and we allow 0 loose articles on the ride. why? because stuff flies off and can hit people. i thot that was a little strange of cp. anyway, the whole locker buisness seemed to be a crappy/shady way to get every penny out of my pocket. overall, i had a great time, some rides i didnt care to ride like iron dragon, mantis, and a few others cause i knew they wouldnt compare to other rides i've been on. ttd was great, only waited about 45 min (luckily) however the whole 420 thing dosent really matter on that ride, its not like when you get up there you have time to check out the view or anything. mf was everything i expected it to be...awesome! and the wait time was only like 50 mins.! wicked twister was not spectacular in any way. i was not impressed at all....maybe cause im spoiled be dejavu, but i would so take dejavu over that boring ride. raptor was cool. prob the only ride i hated was mean streak. no air time all headache. it sucked...and the break on the first drop...lame. but like i said before, i really enjoyed the park and ill defonatly be going back soon. but on the whole, i still think mm has a better variety of coasters, maybe not the best coasters in the world but a better variety. mainly cause the have more elements in their rides compared to cp. oh well, i love them both and both deserve praise for different reasons!
