"Go through the colonoscopy and root canal", your best line ever! 😄

“It feels like going through TSA to get on Steel Vengeance” Went for the first time earlier this year, my exact thoughts.

As someone who worked at raptor this summer, the only reason we told one person per row to go to the bins was so there weren't so many people getting on the ride putting stuff away while everyone else was grabbing their stuff out of the bins, which led to faster and more efficient ops. Also thanks for finally putting Raptor over Banshee!

I was there in 2021 and Gemini is NOT smooth 😆 I don't really mind the SteVe article policy, but it would be good if it was made clear that the lockers in the queue are free, or just make all the lockers free. I had one ride on Valravn (in the rain) and really liked it. I'd say it's my #4 in Cedar. Point.

Millennium has been so much better this year, probably the full trains, I just wish I was a little quicker up that lift like it was back in the day

I visited Cedar Point for the first time back in early June. Another thing to add for Steel Vengeance is that if you wear glasses, it’s required that they’re held on with a strap, or you have to put them in a locker.

When you said that Kings island was still better I yelled WOOHOO I’m not the only one. 😂👍

Though I live a ways away from Cedar Point, it will always be my honorary “home park.” Magnum was my first large coaster ever and after that, I was hooked. I try to get back when I can. But I agree Cedar Point needs uniform carry on policies.

In regards to the pain on the Magic Seat, I'm quoting Hellraiser when I say 'pain and pleasure, indivisible as one.' As for Maverick, I don't have the same issues you talk about with the restraints.

I’m not gonna lie, I underestimated these Arrow coasters. They made a couple of good, smooth airtime machines. If only they focused on those more than their loopers.

the thing that frustrated my wife and I when we visited this year was not articles policy but that Fast Lane was overpriced and underwhelming. Waiting 45 mins for elite rides is way better than 90+ minutes, but I think they should be selling fewer passes each day if they're charging so much. We actually ended up having more fun at King's Island this year because we got many more rides in on the elite coasters.

That was a great experience for me in 2021, meeting you, getting on Steel Vengeance and especially Top Thrill Dragster the first time

I got to finally visit this park for the first time in 2021 and I definitely agree with everything you said!

I visited for the first time at the beginning of July. Amen on Magnum. I absolutely loved it and you can marathon it super easily. It was a station wait both days I went in July. I really enjoyed raptor, that helix at the end is sooooo forceful. Maverick and Steel Vengeance were my other favorites. I thought Millenium Force was just kinda meh.

Man CP is having so many issues this year between staffing issues, bad ops, a broken chain on Gatekeeper, and the Dragster accident. They really need to get it together

I was there a couple weeks after you and everything was running. Millennium always runs well for me, and Magnum is still one of my favorite rides in the park. Maverick was kicking ass when I rode 3 times. And Steel Vengeance doesn't even need a description. They had gatekeeper going and I find it to be quite pleasant. Raptor was kicking serious ass

I laughed way too hard at "going through the colonoscopy & root canal" to ride SV🤣🤣🤣 so true though, I'm just glad it's no longer an upcharge attraction thanks to the free lockers. I think if parks are going to force lockers, they should go the route of Hersheypark and make them free.

Just got back from my 2 day visit there. Easily the most fun I've had in a long time. My favorites were easily Maverick, Steel Vengeance, Gatekeeper, and Millennium Force 😍 and SURPRISINGLY got a pretty decent ride on corkscrew with no headbanging haha

Interesting! Sounds like I need another trip out there soon. Haven’t been since 2019. My opinions on the coasters might change. As always great video Chris!

Man! Love your channel! Thanks because with top thrill dragster being closed for 2022, and that being the singular best coaster I've ridden in the 6 parks I've been to... my son and I will look for a few closer alternative parks like holiday world. 👍

What a timely video. I'm about to leave for my trip, and will be at cedar point by Monday hopefully. Let's hope we only get the threat of rain!

Perfect upload timing, I'm heading there this weekend for the first time in 4 years. Excited to finally ride SV but those loose article policies sound confusing.

I'm glad your opinion on Raptor improved. Was hoping for a change on Maverick but I'll take what I can get.

Been watching forever finally get to go to magic mountain in two weeks you have got me pumped

6:18 that headchopper drop is my favourite part of the coaster when I rode it in 2018. You are literally the first person who I heard talk about it after 3 years.

Great video, love cedar point it’s my favorite park!

Just had a trip up. Maverick has been my #1 since it opened. Sadly that had to come to an end with my first ride on steel vengeance. Absolutely blown away. That thing is pure coaster insanity from start to finish. Maverick is now #2 for me. Crazy how my top two rides sit right new to each other.

Going on Sunday so hyped can’t wai

Chris has done it, the pictures FINALLY aline in the intro at the end!

Me & my family went (we were there the day of the dragster accident). Between the four of us we hit pretty much everything, my older daughter didn’t like magnum at all. We liked the usual (m. Force, steel vengeance, maverick, etc.). The two rides all four of us agreed on were gatekeeper and raptor (my younger daughter didn’t ride the bigger ones I mentioned).

Love the content keep it up!!!

I haven’t finished it. But I’m excited to see how it was because in the 500 coaster trip, you said it was amazing but it was raining like crazy.

I always appreciate your love for both Raging Bull and Kings Island.

Honestly happy you called out Cedar Point’s on ride items policies here. Had my first ever trip a month ago and had an incredible time discovering my new favorite coasters, but the multiple policies were weird and the strictness on Steel Vengeance was a little annoying, like props to the team members for doing their jobs thoroughly, but I couldn’t even have my tiny hand sanitizer in my tight shorts that wasn’t gonna go anywhere. Thankfully the ride experience was top tier and still immediately became my favorite coaster, but eventually Millie took the top spot, SteVe’s seriousness was only a minor contributor to that. Maverick had my favorite policy with the buckets and how organized they were with them.

I'm glad you made this video because I express a lot of the same views. I went on opening day and a 4 day breakers vacation in July. First of all, I think my views on the coasters change every year. Steel vengeance has been my favorite since the opening year. I've been to cedar point 20 times. This year surprisingly I got on all the main coasters multiple times and old school millenium force took the cake. it also was great running into another enthusiast that would ride magnum with me again after my wife chose not to do it again in the back row. We chose the front and that thing kicked serious ass! of course we rode everything multiple times but millenium and magnum took it this year. I am disappointed in the fastlane and hope hour long waits will not be the situation with kings island when I go in Oct staying at the new camp cedar. but I'm expecting the worst and praying for fastlane to come through there! after the last few years I think diamondback in the back row is now my favorite ride at both parks.

I've only managed to get one visit in this year. Dragster was closed due to The Incident, I didn't ride SteVe or Millennium due to crowds, and I almost alwasy skip Maverick anyway due to even more severe problems with the restraints. It was rainy when I went, too, but that didn't seem to keep the crowds away, and it also wreaked havoc on operations all morning, resulting in a 30-minute wait for Magnum turning into an hour or two due to a closure that greatly outlasted the rain itself. Still, I had a good time. Got good rides in on Gatekeeper, Wicked Twister, Magnum, and Gemini, along with a couple rides with family & friends on WindSeeker, Cedar Downs, the new boat ride, and the train. Biggest takeaway: Gemini is _severely_ underrated. It's incredibly smooth for an Arrow of any age, let alone one that opened in 1979, and it gives good airtime throughout. I had forgotten how fun it is with two full trains, too, with the excitement of competition and the high fives on the turns, and getting a ride in right as the park closed (a little early for my taste, tbh) was even better. Also, shout-out to the crew, who was hauling ass all night _and_ hyping up both trains like crazy at the same time.

Hopefully America’s rockin roller coast will be back to normal next year, I still need 5 credits

Nice Experience! Even though I never went to Cedar Point for my trip, I will say all of the theming on all roller coasters are awesome! Even the colors! It feels like 2021 is changing at Cedar Point! But the sadness part is, Wicked Twister is Closing and removing at the part Cedar Point. Which is sad. 😥😥😥

I went at the end of July and only had a day and a half so I got the fast pass for my full day there. This was my first time here since 2014 so this was my first time getting to ride Rougarou (I rode Mantis previously), Valravn and Steel Vengeance. I got at least one ride on every coaster apart from the kiddie coasters. First off, Steel Vengeance is absolutely insane. I got 3 rides on this, including a night ride in the back row (this was my first ever ride on an RMC) . Even with all the hype and expectation going into it, this is still easily the best coaster I've ever been on. Maverick - amazing as always. I don't really mind the restraints though. Only got 1 ride in the morning because it was closed pretty much the whole time I was there. Millennium Force - I had previously loved this coaster and it was actually my 100th credit. The 2 rides I got on it this summer were just meh :/ Rougarou - People say this is the most underrated coaster in the park and I would heavily disagree. I rode in the front row and I swear I had a rougher ride on this than I did on Corkscrew. Don't know if it's just that way in the front, or if I just got a rarely bad ride, but based on that ride I have no desire to ever ride it again. Iron Dragon - This was more fun than I remembered it being, but I agree that it isn't forceful at all. Valravn - This is easily the most overrated coaster in the park. The drops were meh, the inversions forceless and pointless, the "airtime" had no airtime. I don't really understand how this ride always has a 90 minute wait with all the other amazing rides in this park (Magnum always is a walk on wtf). Granted, I feel like if this ride was at a smaller park this would probably stand out a bit more. Raptor - Absolutely awesome ride, got a back row ride with no trims. Those last corkscrews and helix are so intense. I don't remember if I rode this in 2014 or not (I'm guessing not) Blue Steak - Okay as always. CP desperately needs a better woodie. Gatekeeper - This was fun, but not as good as I remembered it being in 2014, plus it also seems to have a pretty noticeable rattle now. Wicked Twister - Great in the back and was nice to get another ride before it closes but yea, I'm not too sad to see it go. Another park would appreciate it much more. Corkscrew - Boring and rough but still not as rough as Rougarou. Top Thrill - This was one of the main reasons I went to CP in the past, and it was a bit underwhelming. The launch is fantastic, but the drop doesn't really do much for me; especially after waiting for 30-60min (with FLP). This also shut down 4 times right before I was about to hop in line (I guess it beats being in line) Magnum - Such a good ride and is by far the most underrated coaster in the park. I have no idea how this only ever gets a 10 minute wait. Gemini - This ride always surprises me with how great the airtime on those drops are. I will be sad to see it go, but yea it likely will be gone soonish. Cedar Creek Mine Ride - Tear this down, this ride sucks. PLEASE PUT A GCI HERE

Blue streak always holds a special place for its sentimental value. My grandparents were among the first of the general public that got to ride it the day it opened in 1964. It’s always the first coaster I hit on arrival due to its location and the fact it has no shade (at least until 2019 when I last visited the park), making waiting in line uncomfortably hot in the afternoon sun.

I must say it's very interesting how much flip-flopping you seem to have with your opinion on coasters! Sure I can have bad rides on some of my favorites (2012 voyage roughness, the rough trains on banshee) But I've never had anything totally change my love for them... yet :p

I’m very glad to hear you like Kings Island!!!

You nailed it, CP might be the Biggest and might have more Coasters than any other CF Park but Kings Island is hands down CF's best park. You didn't miss anything by not riding the ones you didn't this time. Tip for SV because I had a staple issue with an Op too, went back the next day ironically TTD's D-Day and spoke to the Op. He said instead of trying to force getting space just to request it. I did let him know that I wasn't trying to force it but was needing it due to recovering from sore ribs, dunno if you had the same experience but it sounds like they're lenient if you communicate beforehand.

Cedar Point surely is like no other park that I've been to. My 1st experience was last year in the end of June right when they started the 150th anniversary party, which surprisingly wasn't too too crowded (probably because the pathways are so big especially on that midway lol) I spent 4 days there and I still feel like I didn't do everything, which is kinda true since I skipped the kiddie coasters and GateKeeper was down. I'm super excited to make this my new home park next year and to do everything they have to offer.

I was just at CP yesterday. We had a blast. A morning rain storm kept the park empty.

i went back in july around the same time, and i had the same issues with dragster and gatekeeper, however i got a ride on everything else (even woodstock express) i couldn’t do as much because i was with my family, but i still got two rides on maverick and in my opinion it was absolutely worth it. i could have ridden more but gemini’s blue train broke down while i was in line for the ride, ironically right after my dad mentioned how the blue car was always ahead. we ended up having to wait but i still love gemini and i think it was worth the wait

I went to Cedar Point just a few weeks ago, and was finally able to get all the front seat rides on every coaster in the park! It took me a year, but I finally got those last rides on Steel Vengeance, Top Thrill Dragster, and Valravn, the first two thanks to my mom winning us a VIP Experience for the day, which included four one-use fast passes (there were four of us together) one of which I somehow was able to use twice!

Thanks for the videos

That hot take about Magnum being #1 Arrow in the world brought joy to my heart. Even though the best coaster over ever ridden is currently SteVe, Magnum will always have a special place in my heart as my OG favorite coaster.

I went to Cedar Point in June and I have to agree with you on Millennium. It doesn’t have the most airtime nor does it have any over the top elements, but there’s something about the coaster that I love. I don’t know if it’s the speed or the tunnels or what, but I absolutely adore it. Steel Vengeance reigns supreme, but Millennium will always hold a very special place in my heart.

My first ride on Valravn was middle row the year it opened. I had only been on one dive coaster (Griffon, front row) previously and I was so excited to have a dive in my home park because it was such a unique experience. That one middle row ride ruined the coaster for me and I refused to ride it until opening day this year when I brought my mother. Her last trip to CP was right before maverick was built so she had a lot of new things to experience in the park. We got a front row and it’s easily one of our favourite rides in the park now. Roller coasters are like real estate; it’s all about location, location, location.

Wow. First minutes of the video really make it clear what a mess their loose article policies are now. I’m all about keeping everything in zippered pockets and really hate it when I can’t travel simply like that. At least a place like Universal is really organized and efficient when they force you to empty your pockets. At the very least, I’m glad SV is no longer a de facto upcharge ride with the lockers.

Went to the park for a week about a month ago. Was my 2nd time going to the park (1st was 2013). Favorite ride was steel vengeance. Favorite ride experience was valraven at night was awesome seeing the park all lit up. Also fun fact ive been on magnum 4 times twice this trip twice previous trip and each trip I had 1 awesome ride on it and 1 bad ride on it so I dont know what to think of it!

Going to cedar point tomorrow so excited

I agree with you about kings island I have never had a bad experience at that park it is run really well and has some of my favorite coasters

I don't want to repeat the same comments so I'll say that the Millenium Force station music sounds like the WWE NXT theme song of Dexter Lumus. Good video homie

I was in Park Services at Cedar Point this summer. I had an awesome ride in Row 6 on Raptor and a rough one in row 4, a dude ride on Iron Dragon and another where the second half slapped, either I’ve only had good rides on Millie or just like the speed, I’ve only ridden Valravn in the middle (once in 2016 and twice over the summer) and the last time I rode all the B&M’s-it was the only one that was smooth: I had a smooth as glass evening ride on Rou and a row six stuck next to a dad with head banging, I had 3 awesome night rides as my first rides on Gatekeeper during an associate night (and I still waited longer for my sole back row ride on Wicked Twister. Front row twice and all rides only this season)-then a painful back row right wing during normal hours.

If you think the Valravn policy was weird, I rode Backlot Stunt Coaster holding my dads backpack, because we asked to put it in the bins on the unload platform, and they said “those bins are for stuffed animals only”.

Got a ride on all but 4 major coasters yesterday. Millennium Force ruled but then I rode Rougarou and felt sick so I had to miss out on Raptor and Valravn. Anyways still had the time of my life.

I was there for four full days of coasters. I agree with you on most parts, especially the spotty loose articles policies. The only things I disagree were with the ride experiences on Rougarou and Valravn. I rode Valravn twice and had good experiences both times and rode Rougarou once and it was only a mild improvement over Mantis. I absolutely loved MF, SV, and Magnum. I even got the 7th row on the black train which was amazing.

I went on Raptor twice during my visit and MAN! I love this ride as an opener. Skip the nearby starbucks and just ride that in the morning, much better than coffee. Also the main reason Maverick has large lines is simply because it accomidates larger riders; thus more people can and will ride it. If you are (like me) too big for SteVe or Millennium Force, Maverick is what you'll ride. Also highly recommend that you try out some night rides. A night ride on iron dragon is actually nice since it's got great views. Not much of a compliment for ID but it's actually worth it.

I went to Kings Dominion a few weeks ago and the loose article policy was just as bad there. Must be a Cedar Fair thing. Also, glad you mentioned the third hill on Magnum. I've been saying for years that's one of the highlights of the ride.

Yesssssss a new video

I'm going for the first time ever next week. Labor Day weekend 😅 not my best choice but because of being in a university on the quarter system and a full summer class load, it's the only time I was able to go.

I just went for the first time a week ago, and my thoughts were practically identical to yours (Millennium Force was slow though). My favorite ended up being Magnum.

Magnum and Gemini were running really well when I went this year. I got 8 rides on Magnum in my two days I went. I rode Magnum 4 times in a row in the magic seat on the red train. It was a walk on most of the day or a station wait with 3 trains

Visited Cedar Point in the 3rd week in June on a Sunday and Monday. Sadly not only did the park close at 8:00pm but they were closed on Tuesday and Wednesday due to staffing. I opted for Fast Lane plus on Monday which turned out to be a good decision and ended riding everything. Steel Vengeance is # 1 for sure. My experience for the two day trip was solid. I was unhappy to hear about the Wicked twister closing and after the sad accident that occured with Top Thrill there may be a chance that ride may not open in 2022. Next year I am kicking the summer off at Kings Island, Cedar Point, and Canada's Wonderland.

I ran into so many stupid policies on my first trip ever there this year It absolutely ruined every morning at the park for the first hour entry. I got on more rides at kings island for there 30 minute early entry than I did for an hour at cedar point. Cedar point not allowing fast lane for the first hour frustrated me. Kings Island allows you to use fast lane in early entry still so was expecting this at cedar point. Also staying on site hotel spending 600 for 2 nights and finding out I can't enter the valraven gate for early entry 5 minutes before it started (no sign postage anywhere) and an old grouchy Landy pulling the sign out 5 minutes before and yelling at us that we cant enter if we arnt staying in the marina or something. So we had to walk all the way back around and miss out on getting in line early for millennium force. Yeah I was pretty pissed the first hour of the day at cedar point. Shortly after tho the coasters made me forget.

Wild because I probably went to the point less than a week after you and raptor was so rough.

Raptor is seriously fantastic this year!!

I went to cedar point on August first and it was awesome. I rode SteVe five times that day, (including one night ride), Maverick twice (with my favorite night ride ever and I have the Beast at my home park), GateKeplar twice, Top Thrill Dragster twice, Valravn twice (first dive coaster for me), Millennium Force twice, and Raptor once. Having Banshee as my home park made me dislike Raptor because of the headbanging, I can deal with the pelvis crusher that is Banshee but the headbanging gave me a headache. Also, that launch on Top Thrill is crazy, you feel all of that 120 mph. Millenium force was my first giga (with me getting on Orion a week later, I prefer Orion). Also, I couldnt find how to get to Magnum or Gemini so I didnt get to ride those. All in all, great experience plus first time ever to Cedar Point. (Plus SteVe was my 25th coaster) Please fix Maverick’s restraints CP.

Something I've noticed with Steel Vengeance is that as the day goes on, the midcourse seems to matter less and less when it comes to the pacing of the second half. In June this year, it honestly felt like the pacing was on par with 2018 even with a slight trim on the midcourse even at mid-day

Chris, I wasn't going to say this but I got mad. I visited Cedar Point and Kings Island three weeks ago. I spent three days at each park and observed standby lines crowding. At Cedar Point this year the only people that could come intro the park at the Magnum entrance were hotel guests and campground guests for early ride time. That meant that by the time I got to the back of the park (Entered at the front gate) to ride the best rides the lines were unreal and I have a Platinum Pass. One day I finished riding Millennium Force and Maverick and walked to Steel Vengeance. The ride was still testing but the lines were out of this world. The troubling part of this was the Fastlane + line was as long as the standby line. I observed the same problem at King's Island. How many Fastlane passes are these parks selling in a day? My answer is too many. I'm just not going to pay and extra $85 to $125 per day to ride. Another day visit to Millennium Force I noticed that Fastlane purchasers were riding and re-riding so often it was really slowing down the standby lanes. I know the parks need to make money but the Fastlane system is making line waits longer and longer in the regular line.

I couldn't agree more about Valravn. This was my first dive coaster so I was extremely nervous when we reached the top of the lift. But the drop and the rest of the ride were so underwhelming. Im not sure if its because of the large track or what but I was so disappointed, it felt like it was crawling through the track

I went there for the first time roughly 2 months ago and I loved it even though Gatekeeper was down.

as sumone who has a pass and goes a lot, i agree with a lot of points good video! hopefully i can meet you next time you come here

I went to cedar point in august having no idea until now that I was there on the day of the dragster incident, the ride closed right after my train but i really doubt the incident happened then, probably a few hours later but still crazy.

Millennium Force also redeemed itself for me on my visit. It sounds like you were there just before me, as I arrived on Monday July 26. Gatekeeper had just reopened. I have a few different takes compared to your experiences. Raptor: Just like my 2018 rides, it once again rode extremely rough with unavoidable headbanging, and it was quite slow. Valravn: Rode much better than my 2020 ride, very smooth, and strong forces. Steel Vengeance: also not as strong in the 2nd half as the 2020 rides. Top Thrill Dragster: biggest loser on the trip. First time dealing with constant breakdowns, plus experiencing Kingda Ka's far more powerful launch a few days earlier sent Dragster into a freefall in my rankings. Gemini: much smoother than my 2020 rides, totally redeemed, and I like it more now than ever. Magnum: magic seat is where it's at for me! I love that the grouper would usually let us pick our row. Gatekeeper: rode as awesome as ever, but the strict side-assignments and row-assignments from a few rude groupers was very frustrating, but a couple groupers were great. Corkscrew: very strict row assignments from extremely rude groupers. It actually rode good, but the entire staff there were awful. I'm getting quite sick of strict row assignments on rides that don't need it, here and at Carowinds & Kings Island. It makes me appreciate Kings Dominion and Six Flags parks even more, where we pretty much always get to pick our own rows on everything.

So I went to Cedar Point for the first tine in 2021 and I definitely had a different experience than you. Let's start with the things we seem to think the same on. Raptor. The ride is absolutely INSANE. I loved how smooth it was and how graceful but forceful it can get. It was epic though Banshee does outrank it. Valravn. So those restraints REALLY hurt... I actually struggled to breath while on it which made it impossible to figure out how to feel. I was glad when it was over... Maverick. I appreciate it quite a bit since it reminds me of i305 just... smaller and has more for it. I say that and yet i305 is actually the young one here. :P Go figure. Yeah the restraints hurt anything it has going for it but I still like it. Magnum. Ok so I obviously picked the wrong seat for my 1 ride. I'll give it another go next time in the back. Magic seat is a little overrated. Millennium Force. YAY you still love it as do I! She's aged quite well and her speed was absolutely shocking! She got my most rides in my 2 days tied with one more... Steel Vengeance. Ok so my strat with loose stuff is leave them with a non rider (my mom) so I actually got a chuckle from the ops noticing my lack of pockets. Anyways, I didn't mind the situation since it didn't affect me. The ride? OH BOY it was a rush! Nirvana! You say the back row is everything, You're RIGHT! Dang I had hope Fury would stay at #1... XD Ah but Steel Vengeance deserves the top for giving me an absolute trip! Truly worth it. :) Oh and the other rides? Line was too long on all of them to get them. I did ride TTD twice though. SUPER rush! Oh and the 2nd time it broke down but the radio played CENTURIES so... that helped. XD

Your right about steel vengeance being a mess. I went during the summer with my friend and in the line there were lockers for free to put stuff in. Literally just a week after that, I went with my family and they made us put the stuff in the lockers outside the line that cost money? I don’t get it lol

Rougarou I think my favorite part was the off axis loop/overbank before the midcourse, actually had some good forces. For Maverick I shrug my shoulders as high as I can to hold my head in place, not doable for shorter folks though

My 2020 rides on Banshee weren't great either, but this year I think it's been running a lot better.

You just inspired me to go to Kings Island soon!

Yea someone else who loves Magnum! I think Magnum contends with Maverick for number 2 in the park. Also yea it's a coaster that grows on you, the more you ride it the more you love it. I personally just love it's character, there is just something about it that makes it fun no matter how much I ride it

With Millennium Force you gotta try to get the first ride of the day after it's been pouring all morning. I know that's a lot to ask but the effect of the water in the floor of the train floating with you off the drop is my favorite coaster experience of all time.

Hey Chris, always great content. Was there in July also, tried Magnum XL in the magic seat. The lap bar was a solid piece of metal with a small worn out piece of padding (reminded me of an old BMX bike pad). I had to ride defensively cause the ejector air slammed my thighs (they actually hurt for 2 days after). Was just wondering what ur strategy is when u ride the magic seat.

I went today with my kids I got a ride on steel vengeance in the back seat wow! My fav coaster ever. I'm a huge Magnum fan. It was hard to ride a lot with my kids and cedar point is enforcing the height restrictions now. They wouldn't let me ride millennium Force cuz I'm 6'8 even though I rode it quite a few times in the past☹️

went on a rainy monday the day after the dragster incident. maverick is the standout coaster in this park imo. steve first half is amazing but the second half was kinda unenjoyable (ops stapled + shin restraints). millennium with downpouring rain is the most painful and fun experience you can get on planet earth. most surprising ride in the park however is wicked twister. whichever park that gets it will be very lucky :).

A couple of years ago my wife and daughter got stuck on raptor during a severe lightning storm.. that was exciting.. maverick is my fav.. i wear sunglasses to keep bugs out of eyes.. keep your mouth closed during the evening runs..

Raptor great coaster !!

I've ridden them all this year at least once except Corksrew. My biggest surprise was Wicked Twister. I generally avoid this ride, maybe averaging one ride a year. For me, the rapid stop in reverse messes with my equilibrium. It doesn't make me sick, just not a pleasant feeling. Anyway, the other week I rode it toward the front, figuring the closer to the front the less reverse motion. It wasn't bad and the forces going into the spikes off the launces were better than I remembered. I immediately thought it would be a shame if they don't repurpose this at another park.

I don't know what it was about Magnum and Gemini this year but they really beat me up and my neck was throbbing in pain after Magnum which is though because it was one of my favorite coasters when I rode it in 2020

we HAVE to make it out to cedar point!

I am lucky enough to have cedar point as my home park and I went once this summer. I had a great time but that’s only because the group I went with decided to get the fast pass plus or whatever they call it which was more than our ticket. Maverick was amazing, best ride I’ve ever had on it. Steel vengeance luckily was also the best ride experience I’ve had; There was no mid break stopping. Valraven has to be my least favorite coaster in the park. The line is usually a bit long and there aren’t any real stand out features besides the first drop. When coming into the station it stops so aggressively at a weird angle that makes me sick to my stomach - and I have a strong stomach. Overall my experience was good. Cant wait to return once I can scrap up enough money.

The line for steel vengeance divides at the metal detector. I got to ride it three times. First two was no problem. The third time we were in the other lane and the guy was straight power tripping over my wallet in a zipped back packet and my fun pix lanyard. My buddy had to store his loose credit card and license. Both of which fell through the sides on the locker and disappeared entirely. Most employees are great and aren’t super strict, but some of them just hate their life and need to exercise their authority to feel better about themselves.

Me and a buddy went to Cedar Point back in June of 2021 and it was a trip that was long planned in the making and originally we planned to go to Kings Island then Cedar Point on the trip (both parks for 2 days with a day in between to rest) and once we heard about the changes in the schedule and closings we had to rework our trip so we swapped dates with both parks and still had a blast. We had a problem with originally the hotel visit caused they said “I cancelled the room” (to which I didn’t) and they hooked me with with the rate to stay at Lighthouse point instead of Cedar Point express. Worth it I do need to revisit hotel breakers but still amazing to walk out the door and see Magnum’s turnaround Also I had not been to CP since 2000 so lots of new credits and 2 I needed to do since I wasn’t able to ride because of my height at that time compared to now changed (I was 5 when I last went lmao) As far as the visit went, it was amazing but the downside was so many breakdowns (especially the infamous Intamins) The Gatekeeper thing was funny because me and my buddy that came onto CP’s property (June 12th) we found out was the day when the chain snapped (which was impeccable timing ngl) Steel Vengeance was absolutely amazing and it made me excited more and more for Iron Gwazi for the hype again. Millie, Magnum and Gemini revisited childhood Maverick was great but the restraints sucked (pad or no pad those over the shoulders are abysmal) Glad I did Wicked Twister (ever since the announcement) Raptor was amazing and a show stealer (as too was Valrayvn with being my first experience with the vest restraints) Blue Streak was nice (but they do need a modern wooden coaster) Rougaru wasn’t that bad at all Top thrill was short but sweet and amazing (and did scare the crap outta me for being my first time to experience that one lmao) The others? Meh I have a vlog of it over there that discussed more about it Finally as far as the policy went we didn’t have any issues nothing that was shown in the video here. Everything was smooth and straightforward. No issues i don’t think. So that may have been a one time thing 🤷‍♂️ Still I love reading others input about visits like that so thanks Airtime Thrills

There's a tremendous change in audio quality when you start talking about Wicked Twister... totally understandable tho, having to chop in to the already edited video to add fresh news... makes the vid seem less outdated! Also seems like Steel Vengeance will never run the same as it did in 2018

I was at Cedar Point yesterday. My husband and I waited 30 minutes or less for every coaster we rode. We skipped Steel Vengeance because it was the only one that had a 2 hour wait, and we are planning at least 3 or 4 more trips before the year ends. We got 4 rides of Maverick, and I figured out the best way to handle it is to keep the back of your head against the seat. That way the laterals don't give you whiplash. We got a decent ride on Valravn, but it's just too short of a ride for me to really love it. As for the locker situation, the best thing to do is just pay the 10 bucks for multi use. All the big coasters have lockers nearby, and you can simply move your rental from one to another, then end it before you leave the park. Gatekeeper was better before the chain broke. They were running it much faster and I liked it better than Valravn at that point. Now they are being overly cautious and it's super slow. Next time you come, go on a weekday just after school starts. You can easily get multiple rides on just about everything.

The best seat on wicked twister is second to back right seat. There are no cars obstructing the view, you can see straight to the ground!

Magnum is definitely still one of the best coasters in the world, I've marathoned it for hours at a time. It's amazing!
