Post Closing day at CP highlights

Those of you that know me, know that I haven't been to CP in almost 5 years. I decided to take the day and go up with my best friend to close out our season on some awesome coasters! Here are some of the highlights.

-First time on Maverick. BAD ASS RIDE! Got a walk on ride in the morning. The night ride was so amazing in the front seat! Fog everywhere, speed, airtime, cold, launch, airtime out the wazoo. There are no words to describe our night ride. Great ride!!!! Loved Maverick!

-Maggie is still running awesome. Got 4 rides in throughout the day. Got the last train of the season at night. The train was full and it was just so amazing. We crested the top of the 2nd hill and you heard just complete silence! It was just amazing! Airtime galore and I have the bruises to prove it!

-Midway Market had a special for 11.85 a person. Decent food. Some of the food you could tell it was instant (the mashed potatoes and stuffing). The chicken was really good though!

-Chris Linn does the magicomedy show in the Jack Aldrich theater. Cute show, was nice to get out of the cold for a little while. Good comedian and magician combo. He was funny. He had great sarcasm.

-Rode the train and skyride a few times today. Did I say it was pretty cold?

-Ferris Wheel was great too! It is bitter cold up there!

-We went through the Boekling Estate (old admin building). They did it up really nice! I didn't see a whole lot, due to me clinging to Jeff for dear life and hiding behind him.

-The Happy Jacks Toy Factory was AMAZING! They really did a nice job in the house. So good that it is permanently housed in the Disastor Transport building. It was really decked out and the guys in the haunt were good! They scared the crap out of me. They found that if I saw them at first they didn't scare me but got behind me and got me to jump five feet while yelling. The ending was really creepy and welllllllll weird.

-Rode Disaster Transport. What can I say about it? Uhhhh it's still there. Nothing special to report.

-Rode Demon Drop twice today! Gonna miss her! What a great drop ride. What a sucky transition! LOL

Most of the lines were short all day. Maverick got about a 35 minute wait in the evening, but it was well worth it! We took some pictures for you all to enjoy. Thanks for reading!

LOL at the head stone for Kinzel looking like they stole it from Haunted Mansion.

They've got one of those Jack in the boxes down here too.

^ Oh, my mistake. I guess I just figure living in Salt Lake that I would live at Cedar Point if it was here!

But that is also coming with the fact I have had to live with little Lagoon as my homepark and am over 500 miles away from any big theme park.
