I arrived Sunday at 6 and planned to stay untli closing and was there opening until 6 Monday. The park was much nicer than I thought it would be and the most beautiful park outside of disney ones. It ended up being my second favorite park to Cedar Point.

Two words come to mind after riding SOB overrated and ouch. The first drop was nothing special and neither were the two helixes. The loop was the only really standout part of the only standout part of the ride. The ride was rough all along and I got elbowed in the head by the guy next to me. The seat was also really uncomfortable for someone with larger legs.

A lot of fun while it lasted. It felt very powerful and swooped very close to SOB and the trees. Pretty smooth and much more enjoyable than Iron Dragon. If it were longer it would have been a great ride.

A very surprising ride. I went on thinking at least it will add to my count and came off thinking it was a great ride. Very smooth(did I just call a vekoma smooth) and great going through the boomerang backwards. It was also funny watching the people across from you get scared.

Finally a good mine train. Arrow got it right on this one. The theming was great and the second lift hill scared my little sister because she thought another drop was coming. If it would not have been so rough it would have gotten an eight.
Racer Backwards

I just don't really like going backwards on a wooden coaster. It was smooth and offered some good air but would have been better if it was going forwards. The long straight away was very puzzling just like MF's after the bunny hill.
Racer Forwards

Why was this side so darn rough. It would have been great if I didn't come off the ride feeling beatup. I don't understand how the backwards side was smooth and this side so rough.

After riding in the front seat I could not understand why they would need to take the OTSR's off. It was smooth and very powerful. It was a little to light in the building though. The back seat on the other hand was very jerky, but tolerable in the lapbar(not in the OTSR's most likely). I preferred the front to the back.
Vortex

Smooth compared to shockwave but rough under normal circumstances.
It sacrificed some intensity for the smoothness though as the double loop was pretty weak. The saving grace though was the two great hanging corkscrews I liked these much more than B&M when you fly through them.

OMG easily my number one coaster. I could not see anything because I waited til 9:30. The first drop was great and I didn't feel the brakes at all on the second hill. The turns were great and it felt like I was going to fly out. The brake shed didn't slow the ride the much and the tunnel was great, I couldn't see my hand in front of my face. We got way up the second chain and arrived at the top quickly. The drop into the helix was great and the helix itself was absolutely insane. This is easily the best finish to any coaster in the world. The ride was definetely the best I'd been on.

A great kiddie coaster and worth waiting for even if you don't care about your count.

Interesting concept but flawed design. Too rough for children and needs another train to become more efficient.

Ouch no male should be subjected to the pain of these brakes. Overbraked and painful.

Too short and not quite intense enough. The theming was the best on probably any ride. I would have liked more flips.

I went on this ride 4 times and never got tired of it. I became very good at it the second time and started to hit the trees almost every pass.
