Cedar Point

Spent the weekend up at Cedar Point and got to try out their newest ride, Sirens Curse! (Rode it twice over the weekend!)

I have always LOVED Cedar Point - not only do they have amazing coasters, but I also have such fond memories going there growing up! 

Over the weekend we rode:

Top Thrill 2

Sirens Curse (2x)

Sky Hawk 

Maverick (2x)

Magnum

Gemeni 

Steel vengeance 

Gate keeper 

Wild mouse

Rougarou 

Millennium 

We missed out on Iron Dragon, Raptor, Corkscrew, Power Tower, and Valravn which was okay because none of those rides are “favorites” anyway. 

I’ll do my rankings of CP coasters just like I did for Six Flags:

5 star - Steel Vengeance and Sirens Curse !!!

4 star- Millennium, Maverick, Gemeni, Magnum, Sky Hawk

3 star- wild mouse 

2 star- Rougarou, Gate Keeper 

1 star-  

In line for Sirens Curse!

Raptor, Valravn, Corkscrew and Iron Dragon are not rated at this time because I did not ride them on this trip. I have ridden them in the past, but it has been a bit and I don’t want to give them the wrong rating! I’m guessing I would put Corkscrew and Iron Dragon at 2 stars as well. I remember liking Raptor in the past, but in recent years I think I had a less favorable experience.  

 

Fun fact: Growing up, Corkscrew was my very first “upside down” ride… My dad told me it didn't go upside down and basically forced me to ride it. He said if I didn't ride it, we were going home. (!!) So, yes, it is his fault that I am an adrenaline junkie. :)

 I remember not liking (Corkscrew) in recent years, but there’s something still nostalgic about that ride.  Magnum was my favorite growing up which then transferred to Millennium after it was built. They are still good rides, but Steel and Sirens are current winners in my book!

Steel Vengeance combines the thrills of a wood coaster with the smoothness of a steel coaster. It is the longest hybrid coaster in the world and reaches top speeds of 74mph. 

Sirens Curse is our first tilt coaster! It has a 160ft lift hill where the train then tilts 90 degrees. So FUN!!! (Providing the ride doesn’t break down!) 

This trip to Cedar Point wasn’t as ideal because of the weather…it was really hot, there was some rain, and the rides kept breaking down (due to weather and mechanical issues) .... I couldn’t believe how many issues they were having with so many of the rides!

I still love Cedar Point though and I am thankful we have two of the best amusement parks in the country in our home state!!
