Back from Cedar Point!

[Psychometrika]

Wow. You'd think being an hour away from Cedar Point, I would have gone - but NOPE! I think I was less scared of the hurricane that passed right over me when I was in the Contemporary a year or so ago than I would be on those roller coasters. OY! The coasters in Disneyland Paris were scary enough for me.

Thanks for sharing the pix! How neat.

(P.S. I've been tryin' to write you but my clearance on this board isn't high enough I guess...as I keep getting rejected. Sniffle.)

(P.P.S. Be glad you're in Orlando. We had our FOURTH major flood in about a month last night. At our house it poured over 3 inches of rain in 20 minutes. I'm going to set up a Pirates ride in our basement. Now all I need is some animatronics. Perhaps Johhny would come over and model?)

I keep hearing about the bad weather up there. I've even heard that the trash cans at Cedar Point were floating down the midway! WOW.

Sounds like hurricane season down here!

I rode the new and improved pirates the other day, three Johnny Depps! I think we can spare one, so I will arrange to ship one to you for your new basement attraction!

my DD and I are headed to Cedar Point for a couple of days starting Aug 28. We're hoping for good weather and walk on conditions.

We'll be staying at Castaway Bay, the now Cedar Point owned former Radisson with the indoor water park. I'll try to write an actual trip report and post it if anyone is interested.

That would be great, get me some good shots of "Project 2007"!

We just got back…….let me say never again. The lines were well over 2 hours. We stayed at the Hotel Breakers in the “remodeled” section for about 250 a night. Let me say that this hotel should be about $60 a night. The rooms were beat, smelled like mold, the locks didn’t work properly. There is no nightlife after 11 pm. The food (even though they have a Friday’s in the hotel) was horrible. It was like high school cafeteria food. It was really a sad place. I am sure it would have been much nicer to stay off site somewhere. I thought for $250 a night it would at least be as nice as a holiday inn express….so so so wrong. And the pools absolutely filthy!

Despite all this the 4 of us girls had an excellent time! Only because we have fun together no matter where we go.
This place is definitely no Disney but at least the park was clean…the rides do not look like they have been cleaned ever…but the walkways and such were nice.

And once again someone goes to Cedar Point without asking my advice!

LOL

1. NEVER EVER GO IN AUGUST!

2. Never stay in a hotel that is over 100 years old. Next time stay at Lighthouse Point. Bring your own steaks and booze and party on your deck.

And ya, nightlife in Sandusky is lacking, but there are a few places. But mostly we just stay on our deck, and on one night we save up and eat at the Bay Harbor, their more upscale restaurant.

Next time contact me, I have a ton of tips on how to enjoy that place!

Now you tell me!! Oh well! And you are correct never again in a hotel that is over a hundred years old, I am much more of a W kinda girl. Hanging out on a deck cooking would be fun but not in the summer for me, I work everyday in the summer, the last thing I want to do is cook!

And I would recommend august….the lines may be long but the scenery……well worth it!

And next time (if there is one) I will definitely take you up on your offer and get some good advice!

The scenery is always nice at Cedar Point!

We usually go the second week they are open, which tends to draw the rebelious types that skip school......hmmmmmmmmm.

I wouldn't call what we do "cooking". More like throw a potato in the microwave, throw a steak on the grill, and open a bag of salad! Wash down with vodka, and your on vacation! You should check out the cabins at Lighthouse Point though if you go again, well worth the price.

Glad you had a good time!
