It was about 6 O'Clock the night before and I had kind of planned a
co-workers son who was about 15 years old and I barely knew him....
but regardless my goal was to for sure go to Cedar point.

So I was talking to Wild Man on the IM and he also took the week off
from work, so he said he was down to go. So after I told him I would
pick him up after dinner with Susan and I also called that coworkers
son and told him I found someone to come with me.

I felt bad, but oh well. matt hasnt gone to a theme park in years
and he is my best friend.

So after the lovely dinner, I drove to Matts and picked him up and
got back to my house and stay up until like 1 AM programming and
watching 300 the movie.

We were tired the next day and matt got like 2 hours sleep.

We got to the radio station and signed our forms and moved the car to
another parking area.

We listened to the D.J's ahead of us talk about anything and
everything the whole way, but it was fine, I just slept a lot of the
way.

Once we got there the park had not opened yet and we had to wait. We
tried to get on the disaster transport first, but it was closed. So
I think the first ride we rode was the Iron Dragon. It was pretty
chilled but matt enjoyed it.

I really dont know what was next exactly.... was it the Magnum Matt?
Matt really liked the Magnum, I tried to take a video while on it....
but the dude made me delete it.

I think next in the progression was the Top Thrill Dragster... and
this is when the life changing occurrence happened for Matt. Zero to
like 130 MPH in 3 seconds. We were near the front cart and it was
pretty freaking amazing. Except for the crazy photo that made me
look like I was crying. I really wasnt crying just trying to keep my
eyes open while deflecting very strong wind.

We probably ate some crappy lunch at the weirdest restaurant in the
park after this.

After that we probably went on Disaster transport for an easy
ride.... and then walked around back and went onto the Millenium
force maybe.

I ended up taking a nap on this crappy wooden bench where it was loud
with music and people and roller coasters. But somehow I was out in
like two seconds. matt and I needed a break after I woke up so we
went into the Cowboy area where we found this sweet checkers set
where we made up a whole new game of checkers. Here were the rules
as we can remember:

Crowned 3 Times : You Can Jump Diagonally Twice
Crowned 4 Times : You Can Jump Forward and Straight Now
Crowned 5 Times : "The Sweeper"
Crowned 6 Times : Move Three Diagonally
Crowned 7 Times : Ghost Any Direction
Crowned 8 Times : Telportation
Crowned 9 Times : ??

We cracked up so hard at these crazy rules and it was a lot of fun!

Matt refused to go on any wooden coasters, so we continued walking.
Eventually once we got to about 3 O'Clock matt and I got pretty tired
and needed a break, so we found the perfect relaxing spot. Out by
the pirate ship and the magnum there is an entrance to the hotel
beach area. We found some chairs and passed out for two hours. We
also checked out this sweet one legged sea gull and took a pic.

After we got up, we went to the raptor and matt also loved this one!
We went on the Millenium force again. And the wind was so bad in
your eyes that I closed my eyes half the time being in the front
cart. This turned out to be a bad thing because I ended up puking a
little bit after. People made fun of me a little and matt also had
his own comments.

Seconds later... we buy the worst Chinese I have ever had in my life
at the Panda Express. It tasted like card board! matt agreed.

I am surprised I was able to eat after puking a little.

I cannot ride rollercoasters without any kind of break in between...
if I ride over and over and over... I get sick.

We rode a few other coasters... but the final coaster was top thrill
again... but this time in the front cart. WHERE ALL THE BUGS COME
AND ATTACH THEMSELVES! It was sick!

So that was our cedar point experience in a nut shell.

Matt fill in the blanks yo!
