Photo TR - Cedar Point 9-1-10 and 9-2-10

[C.DieselI Guess Donkeys Are Okay]

This is the second year in a row that our family has done a trip to Cedar Point during the last week of the season when the park is still open on weekdays. We expected last year's trip to be a one time only thing, but it went so well that we had to do it again.

The weather was hot. Temps in the upper 80's and lower 90's both days with quite a bit of wind the second day. The park was not crowded at all. We stayed at the Breakers for two nights while we were there. Yes, it is overpriced for what it is, but the connivence of location is really great. I also think that it adds a little to the experience when you stay "in" the park. It was really nice to be able to utilize the room when going to Soak City too. Because the temps were high, we managed to make it over to Soak City both afternoons we were there.

The park was clean and I thought the landscaping this year looked a bit better than last year. Felt like about the same number of people in the park this year as last year, but the hotel seemed a little busier. Not to say that there were a lot of people at the hotel though. If I had to guess, they were probably running around 25% to 35% of capacity. Most of the flat rides and coasters were walk ons. The longest wait we had in two days was for the front of Millennium Force which turned out to be around 40 minutes. If you did not want the front or back of a coaster you could walk on to any of them with the exception of MF, Dragster and Maverick both days.

It is getting late here so I am going to start with a few pics getting to the park and getting into the park. I will try to post more inside the park as soon as I get the chance. This is my first try at a photo TR so bear with me if it doesn't turn out so well. I really appreciate everyone else always posting TRs so I tried to take lots of pics to share, so I hope you all enjoy...

I like what I see so far! Cannot wait for the rest. I actually have to get to posting my CP trip as well... (make that the rest of my FL trip from last year, Great Adventure, Hershey Park, CP, KD & BGE from this year...lol - And I should hopefully have SFNE under my belt after next weekend) Love the airport and plane photos!

I have to say, this week, both KD & BGE were pretty empty. Granted I went to BGE on Thursday, with Hurricane Earl at our back door, but I never walked on so many rides in a row in my life! It was completely wonderful!

I first glanced at your first picture and said, "I didn't realize the lobby for Breakers was so nice!"

Great Photo TR, looking forward to more photos!

So, I have some time to post some photos from the first day in the park. I will try and get more on later.

I love how everyone notices that we put DOMO in the alaska room at DT!

Great photos.

I don't get why everyone's so obsessed with Domo, but it doesn't stop me from incessantly shouting his name in the middle of my classes.

It hurts, but I loved it. I couldn't walk right for 30 minutes!

Great TR. Lots of awesome pics. Yes...TPR has turned me into a credit whore as well. I almost tried to bribe this lady to let me use her kid just so I could get the Jr Gemini credit because apparently you have to have a kid to ride it.

Great TR and pictures! Looks like you had a pretty good day(s) to visit the park.
