The two days we spent at Cedar Point were freakin awesome (or as one CP ride op spieler put it 'SUPERTASTIC' - which I'm sure is not a word but as part of the international contingent on the trip - we loved it. Loads of memorable things happened - Robb and Elissa worked so damn hard to make it such a great two weeks and it so was!! So we left SFGA at 4.30 CT and arrived at CP at 2.15ish ET (due to sucky Chicago traffic). We pulled up outside Hotel Breakers to find out the power was all off and eventually we were given flashlights to enter the hotel and find our way to the rooms. Hotel Breakers has a really eerie feel about it (Lake Erie get it...... ) and it was so like 'The Shining' when walking to our rooms. Pretty cool stuff. Anyhow 3am and into bed. Up at 8am to meet everyone for Hotel ERT on MF, Maverick, Skyhawk, Raptor at 9am. Of course we decide to do the running of the bulls for Maverick. Now I'm not the most athletic person.... but ended up about 30 people from the front - not too bad. Other TPR crew made the very front of course. 9am rolled around and Maverick remained closed and it starting raining - booooo! No Maverick for us. Now bear in mind none of the other rides really opened much at all during the bad weather we had and so we had a choice - tough it out or TGI's for breakfast. I'm not running for nobody without a payoff and so a hardcore (or stupid..... ) group of us stayed and waited for Maverick to open...... I'll let the video explain the rest........

I actually cheered when you got on, and me being a very hateful man who has just been to see his football team get beat that is no easy feat. Your video has touched me in a way I never knew possible.

I thought I spent way too much time waiting outside Maverick's entrance listening to the music, you going 8 hours is nuts! Awesome video. Do you know the name of any of the other songs played in that area? Last edited by Papas on Tue Aug 14, 2007 4:26 pm

I cannot believe you all stood there all that time, through that storm. I will never, ever hear the theme from Dallas again and not think of you people!! That was great!! Shari

We were on the first train out after the rain cleared though, and Jeremy said it was the fastest he's seen it since '95 (I still thought it was slow as hell). _________________ NoLimits stuff: Boulder Dash recreation | Legend recreation | Unnamed original GCI ride Flickr Last edited by SFNERules on Tue Aug 14, 2007 4:35 pm

It comes to something when you are looking forward to the Dallas theme tune on a music loop which lasts two hours. We did the night ride the following night and that was awesome - the Dallas dance made its reappearance........

I remember in 2003 waiting 3.5 hours for a closed dragster, but I made a tent, made fun of the security guard, etc. it was a good time! BTW, I slept in that morning, went and rode a few random things in between the rain, took a long nap, then got up and rode Maverick after waiting only 50min that evening!

But really - you can never underestimate the importance of a rain poncho, LOL! Great vid - and "Theme from Dallas" will always mean Cedar Point to me now. _________________ Talk is cheap Action is Pricele$$
