Theme Park Review was at Cedar Point for opening weekend! And why where we there? Well....

I was asked to come out to Cedar Point by the production company working on the new Travel Channel shows to do some interviews. I hadn't realized at the time that it was actually the parks opening weekend! So it was a nice bonus to go up to both shoot the show and see what Cedar Point was like on it's first days of operation for the season.

Needless to say it was a pretty good weekend! Once we landed on Friday evening, we realized we were near to someplace really awesome....

We have arrived at America's Roller Coast! Oh wait...

"C'mon everyone! Bring your pick up truck and a ratchet set and we can totally SAVE TEH BIG DIPPER!!! My community college education and intentional business partner whom I've never met will come to its rescue! Just give us money!!"

Oh, yeah, you can see Raging Wolf Bobs is still back there too, but really, who gives a flying crap about that ride?

I can tell just by looking at TEH BIG DIPPER that this ride could easily be moved and operated in a new location without much additional work.

These photos will make Prince Desmond weep at night as he longs to have this ride re-built in Nigeria.

We made friends with some locals who had a pickup truck!!! While I'm no structural engineering expert, I'm pretty sure we can haul away the entire ride structure and the trains in this one truck! ARE YOU WITH ME!?!

"FANATASTIC NEWS MR. ALBAY!!!!! THE REIN OF PRINCE DESMOND AS OWNER OF BIG DIPPING ROLLING COASTR SHALL START SOON!!!!!"About an hour-ish drive later....

Hooray! We've made it to America's Roller Coast!!!

Hello Millennium Force! Can't wait to ride you on opening day tomorrow!

OMG! Rides are testing tonight! Getting ready for tomorrow's big opening day!

Isn't it just a thing of beauty? Or at least....a thing?

But tonight we are here for the OPENING NIGHT of TGI Friday's at Hotel Breakers! Hell, yeah, baby!!!

Only slightly intoxicated we took a stroll along the beach to check out the lighting on the Ferris Wheel.

That's right! It's muffle-head season!

Oh, yeah baby! We are here! Opening Day! Cedar Point! America's Roller Coaster! RIDE WARRIORS!!! RIDE ON!!!

We went to Maverick first! RIDE ON!!!

I think we made a good choice for our first ride at Cedar Point!

Magnum is running! Oh, yeah!

That's right! Thanks to the new Fast Lane, We don't wait in any "peasant" line!*

Ooooh! Something is going on at Cedar Point today!
