So I found out Cedar Point was having another employee reunion and hopped on the bandwagon. I convinced another former employee as well as former Geauga Lake employee to come along with my father and myself.

We started out the day at 6:45am, so we could go for registration. The other former employee and myself received our T-shirts, paid for the $10 meal, and enjoyed some early entry rides on Raptor, 3 in total.

In meeting up with the rest of our party, we headed toward the Wildcat midway, hitting up the dodgems first.

Some kid kept getting out of the car on the dodgems and pushing his sister or cousins car. Two ride ops came along and yelled at the kid, but didn't remove him from the ride. If that was me, I would have given him two chances then he would have been gone. Otherwise it was a good ride on the Dodgems.

Next stop was Wildcat.

Wildcat (15 Minute Wait)
Even with the wait, this ride was worth it. I love the tummy tickles on this coaster, and it would be a nice coaster for my back yard, eventually.


Iron Dragon had a ridiculously long wait, and we decided to head back to Frontiertown. Stopped in the petting farm for a little bit, then the town hall museum. Next ride was the Cedar Creek Mine Ride.

Cedar Creek Mine Ride: (10 Minute wait)
We had the whole train going crazy. It was awesome. Usually myself and guests are the only ones who act dumb on this coaster, however the whole train was just copying what the front of the train (us) were doing. It was awesome.

Onto the Maverick, but first a quick stop at the arcade, which they had Guitar Hero games. And a stop at the Sweet Shoppe, where they had Dippin Dots shakes, and floats. The root beer dippin dots float was amazing!

Maverick (1 hour wait)
As usual this ride was faster than the wait time said, and we had entertainment from a guy who had his headphones on and was singing in iine. It was amazingly awesome and funny. Bad thing was our group was split up. My friend Josh and I rode, the 2nd to last row. Amazing as usual!

We took the train up to the group photo on the Wildcat midway, where we almost missed being in it. After the photo we headed over to Mantis...aka LEG KILLER!

Mantis (10 Minute Wait)
I do not know why I continue to ride this beast of a coaster, it always kills my thighs. It was no exception on a reasonably warm September Saturday either. Got off with jelly like legs, and no intent on riding for a long time.

Headed up toward the luncheon and ballroom. Had lunch at the Coral Court Yard, and being in the ballroom was my very first time. After those events and playing in the Main Arcade for a while, we hit up Wicked Twister, Disaster Transport, and Maxair. Before the luncheon we hit up Magnum.

Magnum (10 Minute wait)
There was a kid from the University of Akron, and since my fiance Chris, Josh, and I all go to Kent State we decided to entertain ourselves for a bit. Also we had no preference where to ride, and chose a semi-rear seat on the train. I love this coaster to death, and the amazing delieverance of airtime.

Wicked Twister (10 Minute Wait)
Middle of the train ride, yet again. This coaster delievers some awesome speed, and I love riding anywhere. Such a fine ride, and one I would totally marathon.

Disaster Transport (10 Minute Wait)
Okay so I had an epic fail moment on this ride. I totally thought this lady and her son were line jumping, so I yelled at them, but they came out of the ride area like 5 minutes later carrying a glow thing. I didn't care though they could have waited in line like everyone else...lol Anyhow my dad and fiance rode the front of the train while Josh and I got the back. I was screaming stupidly and these guys who rode with us were like "Who was yellin like that?" It was amazing.

MaxAir (10 Minute Wait)
So this ride I could pretty much fall asleep on. I love riding it, but to me it is more relaxing than thrilling. It's a great ride though.

We headed to hit up Raptor, Blue Streak and Millennium Force.

Raptor (10 Minute Wait)
Well I added my 4th ride of the day on this coaster. And it made me just as dizzy as the other 3 times. But I love this coaster, and the brakes seemed to be a bit smoother. It was great.

Blue Streak (5 Minute Wait) Front and Back
Well Josh and I took 2 laps on this coaster, and I must say it is running super fast. It seems like they retracked the coaster or something, also the brakes were a lot smoother at stopping than in previous seasons. It was running amazingly.

Millennium Force (1 Hour Wait)
My dad rode this, everyone else needed a break from the long day, plus at 11 they had ERT for the former employees and their families.

MF ERT: In total I got 8 laps on this coaster, 2 up in the front car, 4 in the back, and the other 2 just random places. It was amazing, and I want to do that all over again. It also helped that they were still running 3 trains, and only about 40 people were doing the ERT. Also they just let us get off in unload and walk right back into the station. No leaving the ride platform at all.

Cedar Point exceeded all my expectations with this reunion. They definitely upgraded everything from last seasons. I loved the time I had there! I hope to visit CP one last time before the season is over. So far the park is 2 for 2, this year!
