Cedar Point

After the included breakfast we headed to Cedar Point for some fast paced actioned packed adventures. Heading to the biggest rides/roller coasters first we go off to a good start. Starting with 'Rapter' a roller coaster with your legs dangling we then headed to the 'Top Thrill Dragster'. This begins by accelerating you to 120miles and hour in 4 seconds, shoots you straight up then straight down with a few twists. A lot of G forces to get the adrenalin going, all in about 20 seconds.
A few other rides later we got to the Maverick. Yet another roller coaster, added to the park in 2007. This proved a bit to much for Fraser's dodgy fruit he had as part of breakfast.
With Fraser not well Sarah and Aaron continued on the numerous roller coasters etc. Aaron even found time to go on the old fashioned Carrousel.
As the rain started and the rides stopped we went and saw Snoopy on Ice, then had lunch. We filled in the rest of the rest of the afternoon going from ride to ride and repeating some of the better ones - not the old wooden ones that shook you to pieces, the new faster smoother rides have certainly come a long way since the park opened in the 1800's.
Definitely worth a visit and puts NZ's Rainbow's End to shame. Ceder Park 67 rides including about 17 roller coasters.
After 8 hours of fun, throbbing heads and an upset stomach we left the park to get some tea and a hot chocolate.
