I was to meet with Jason and Denise for a day at The Point. I arrived right on schedule at 9:00am, but due to some outside influences, Jason and Denise were late by an hour and a half. I used this time to indulge in some of my favorite rides: the Millennium Force, the Maverick, and the Gemini. These rides were all prior the park's general opening at 10:00am, so I was able to blow through them in about 45 minutes. Once the park opened I slowed down and walked around a bit.
Once Jason and Denise showed up, we immediately waited for the Raptor - and the keyword is "waited." I have not spent any significant time in any queue line at Cedar Point yet this year. We waited more than an hour to ride the Raptor, but it was worth it - and it was the second-to-last ride of the day.
Shortly after noon, the skies darkened, thunder rumbled, and lightning shut down almost every ride in the park. And that was the rest of my day at Cedar Point: wet and cold. Despite the rain, we waltz around the park without a care in the world: soaked from head to toe, riding the small oddball rides along the way, enjoying greasy food, and wondering what the hell we were thinking.
Despite our unorthodox day at Cedar Point, my time was enjoyable. I walked around soaked, I drove home soaked, and as I write this several hours after the fact, I am still a little soaked.
Today has been the unexpectedly perfect day.
B3 out.
