PhishyBrewer Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 (edited) So here is my little photo trip report of our, Karen and me, weekend at Cedar Point and Put-In-Bay. Since there is going to be a lot of photos posted, I’m going to break the thread up by days. Enjoy! Friday, October 7, 2005 After Dragster, we hit up Magnum and then went to ride my second most favorite ride in the park, TGIFriday’s. After Friday’s we rode just about everything that was open with very short wait times. Good thing we got on. Because as soon as we got off, it was down again. Karen was just little bit excited about her first ride on Dragster. Then it was open again. Then it was closed. Yeah! It's open! You must be less than 48’’ wide to ride Millennium Force. And actually, just to get right to it… I had no problems what so ever getting on MF. Yeah! Uh... were not in California anymore Toto. Now that’s the scariest thing I’ve seen so far. Alright, let's head to the park. Across from Pizza Hut was the drive-thru for Cheesehaven. The park didn’t open until 6. So we stopped for a bite to eat. I haven’t seen an actually Pizza Hut sit-down restaurant in forever. But this wasn’t any normal Pizza Hut. It was Pizza Hut Italian Bistro. WTF? Karen and I left Gavin with Aunt Angie and Grandma, and we were on our way to Cedar Point. Then another surprise! My favorite ice cream, Graeter’s Mint chip. I was in heaven! The best thing out of Cleveland in a long time. My mom picked us all up and I was greeted with a six-pack of Great Lakes Dortmunder Gold. My favorite beer in the whole world. We could finally see the sun from the CRJ. We must be getting close. And... he's out! The magical escalator ride at Chicago’s O’Hare. Gavin's first red eye. He seems alright... so far.

robbalvey Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 LMAO! "First it was open...then it was closed...then it was open again!" I don't know why but I found that really funny! Glad you guys had a great time. --Robb "Looking forward to that Demon Drop footage." Alvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhishyBrewer Posted October 11, 2005 Author Share Posted October 11, 2005 (edited) Saturday, October 8, 2005 After this bucket of beer, we headed back to the hotel. The Roundhouse Bar. Another great spot. The beer here tasted like beef jerkey. It was nasty! My buddy Pat Dailey plays a lot at Beer Barrel during the summer. The Beer Barrel Saloon holds the record for the world’s longest bar. Beer Barrel Saloon Mr. Ed's. Another great spot. Aww... do we have to leave? Catching up on old times. Frosty’s is my kind of place. I have spent many of days there. Home sweet home! A view of Put-In-Bay from atop of Perry’s. Perry’s monument is the third largest monument in the nation. Damn! Aww... it's time to leave. It’s a tradition; the first stop at Put-In-Bay is always the Heineman’s Winery. A short little trip north of town via a golf cart. Wow! Look what I found. An old Paddlewheel boat from Cedar Point. The village of Put-In-Bay is located on South Bass Island. It is a 22 minute ferry ride from Port Clinton. Well 22 minutes if you take the Jet Express that cruises through the water at 30 knots. I always feel at home when I’m on the water.

PhishyBrewer Posted October 11, 2005 Author Share Posted October 11, 2005 What's so scary about Steak and Shake? The only Steak and Shake I ever ate at was the one I took a picture of. Maybe it’s gotten better, but to me, all the food there is very bland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scaparri Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I spent many nights after work in that steak 'n' shake. I must say I can't believe how much I actually miss the town of Sandusky and Ohio. Anyway, yeah, that's pretty sweet you guys made it on Dragster. How did the Mrs like it Wally? By the way, am I the only one that the Saturday pics aren't showing up for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't have done much good to meet you for long anyways... here's how I said it to my parents (prior to leaving): "Hey, Mom, by the way, there's a guy from this site, Theme Park Review, that I'll probably be meeting up with." (intermediate nagging, including "You don't even know him!" and "What if you get kidnapped?" ) "Uh...huh." *crossing fingers behind back* "All right, I won't meet him."

Hattuchili Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Awesome photo TR so far, Wally. It looks like you really had a good time. The TTD thing was to funny (open - close - open - close). However, what is a "Dortmunder gold"? Never have seen that. It looks like I have to taste it, when I am back at the US. --Sören Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have bottle waiting for you. Or maybe I can send one with Robb when you guys do the UK trip. Anyway, it's my all-time favorite beer.

MrsPhishy Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 It was sooo great to be back at Cedar Point. I really miss that place. Except for the weather. Could have done without the freezing cold rainy crap. I got to ride Dragster!!! Yeeehaaaw! It's a pretty sweet rush, loved the drop, but to be honest I like both Millenium and Magnum better. It was really funny that it kept going down, then back up, then back down. We had such a great time!! Can't wait to go back. Is it time for Coastermania yet?
