That looks awesome. It's been too long since I've been to Cedar Point.

Unsure when I'll ever get back as most of my Ohio relatives have moved to Columbus.

rides whenever we were kids - college.
I haven't been there to try Maverick or GateKeeper though, but when Dragster was working, holy shitballs it was awesome.
Still can't beat the classics like Mean Streak & Blue Streak though.
My favorite coaster there is the Raptor, at its release it was the tallest, fastest, and longest inverted roller coaster in the world.

You know Mean Streak & Blue Streak at least, or forgot them.

Blue Streak is the oldest roller coaster there, it's behind Raptor.
Mean Streak is the monstrous wood roller coaster that when it was built, was the largest and longest wooden roller coaster of its time.

and I may end up going alone, but if that job situation at that time allows, I intend to go.
I am not so dead set on this I'd turn down a job that wasn't flexible enough to pull it off.

I just do the math
Apr 11, 2014, 10:06 AM
|
|
1) You choose to do it. Result, you drop 415 feet and walk away. Nothing changes at all.
2) You choose to do it. You drop 415 feet and barf when done. THEN, nothing still changes.
3) You chose to do it. You drop 415 feet and hit the dirt at 90mph and die. Or you have a heart attack or aneurysm. Pretty sure everything changes for the worse.
Now by my calculations.......
Nope.
