Slut for Spinners
Well this is my last installment, which covers the last three parks of the trip. It starts out with Cedar Point. Most of the photos are of the people, and nothing more.
The Brits were going nuts. They couldn't get over the fact that they were at CP.
We did Maverick first, followed by Millennium Force, and then Dragster.
Everybody but me decided to wait for the front. I was able to get some nice photos.
Here's Taylor's anxious look before the launch:
And her scream of terror afterward:
Brad loved it:
And so did Matt, even though he's not showing it:
We continued riding the other creds and we met up with the other Matt again.
We even got a train cred and Matt got a boob cred!
We all took a turn on Wildcat.
Everybody was enjoying their day at America's Roller Coast.
We ended up riding pretty much everything and we enjoyed the park.
Our day even ended with credit whoring!
On the way out, I took some night shots as well:
We got to our hotel late. We were really starting to feel drained, especially with a 18 hour day at the Point. We got as much sleep as we could and headed to Kennywood for the final day.
The morning started with sliding down the bannister:
The park had a nice selection of rides, including Swing Shot:
Pitfall:
Kangaroo:
Aero 360, Ghostwood Estates, and a few other sweet rides. They had the famous Phantom's Revenge:
With its awesome second drop:
The ride has great forces, both positive and negative.
The park is also home to three classic wooden coasters, including Thunderbolt:
I absolutely love the look of the Century Flyers:
I'll throw in a lovely photo of Jerry and Aidan:
The park is also home to Racer, which is fun, but not the best racing coaster out there:
And Jack Rabbit, a fun little woodie:
Kennywood is a bit quirky, which can be seen at some of the drinking fountains:
They have some interesting food too, like fried Oreos:
Even though Kennywood is a classic park with 20's era architecture and atmosphere, they brought a bit of modern day to the park with Sky Rocket.
Overall, the ride isn't anything special, but it is a very fun coaster. It actually produces airtime when you're upside down.
We had to get going to get to our last park, but we stopped at Primonti Bro's for some sandwiches. They were some big sandwiches! We hit the road, and after a nap, we were in Erie to visit Waldameer, and more importantly, Ravine Flyer II.
You don't expect a little ride like this to pack such a punch. The ride throws you around on a flight of joy.
We do have to give love to the park's other wooden coaster, Comet, which has a beautiful location in the trees:
It was getting dark, and that meant the bugs came out. While waiting for Ravine Flyer II, I counted 42 of these guys:
And they were all big! We could tell they were smart, because they built their webs around all the lights so the bugs would fly right into them. The spiders were having a feast.
After about five rides on the lovely Ravine Flyer II, it was time to head out, but not before some night photos:
We went to Buffalo Wild Wings to eat to finish off the trip. After eating some delicious wings, we had to say good bye. Eight days together brought us all closer together, and we were all sad to leave. We couldn't believe how much fun we just had and all the memories that will last for our entire lives. Some people do these trips for the coasters, but most of us do it for the people, which is really what it's all about.
We headed back to Youngstown after parting ways and stayed the night at Marcus' house. I was finally home after a six hour bus ride back to Detroit. I was exhausted and a bit depressed, and the past few days have been lonely, but every time I think back, I can't help but smile at all the fun we had.
I hope you enjoyed reading.
