Yesterday I went with Joe's youth group on their annual Cedar Point trip. We woke up at 4am and loosed 40some teenagers on the best rollercoaster park in the country. For me the trip included rides on some old favorites like the Power Tower which shoots you down from a 240-ft tower at 50 mph, and the Millenium Force coaster which opens with a 310-ft, 80 degree drop at 80 mph. Plus I got to check out a few new rides like the Maverick coaster which drops at 95 degrees (which, for those of you mathematically challenged ones, is steeper than straight down; it actually goes back under itself) and the Dragster (see photo) which shoots you out from 0-120 mph in 4 seconds, straight up 420-ft in the air, then crests the top and drops you straight down. Check out some of the other pics at the Photography links above, including ones taken while on the rides! Only the extra brave (or maybe extra foolish) get shots like these. :)
