Today was ROLLER COASTER DAY at Cedar Point!  Got up super early and rented a car at 7:30 in the morning.  Had some breakfast (Jaclyn really does like fiber…everything has fiber in it) and off we went to Sandusky to visit Amercia’s Roller Coast (er) park!  Got there a few minutes after opening and wow, those roller coasters are HUGE!!!  I think my heart skipped a beat as I saw them from the road.  Fear of Heights will definitely need to be pushed aside for this.  Paid admission and in the park we go, no going back now.  I am in for it.

Walked all the way to the back of the park for my first one called Gemini...a wooden coaster.  Wholly crap!  The feeling of when you peek at the top and go down is pretty instense.  I left that one shaking a bit.  Next up the The Mean Streak and that one was larger than Gemini.  Much longer and definitely bumps you around a bunch.  It is quite a trip when you feel like you are falling.  I think I closed my eyes a bunch.  Next was The Cedar Creek Mine ride and that one was easy compared to the others.  After that was the weirdest and the most enjoyable roller coast, The Mantis.  You actually stand up on this one and there are a few loops along with a figure 8!  Then all of a sudden a thunderstorm came in out of no where and they shut the rides down.  At least I got four huge coasters in.  Did want to do this tower thing that shoots you in the air.  Maybe next year

After Cedar Point, grabbed some lunch and then fell alseep at Justus’ house awaiting my next set of marching orders.  Later that night, got dropped off at the best chinese food place in Parma where Dan picked me up and showed me his old stomping grounds.  I love Ohio houses, lots of land around.  Had some dinner and hung out with Dan and Deb awaiting the meteor shower.  Unfortunately the skies did not clear up so off to bed I go.

Tomorrow night I am going to downtown Cleveland to catch the game between the Indians and Rangers!
