Day 15 – Ty
Posted on July 21, 2011
Today we woke up to our normal breakfast of granola, cereal, fruit, and bagels; always delicious and always beneficial.
We got ready for a nice day off from riding and headed over to Sandusky, Ohio’s “Cedar Point” amusement park. The park itself was overwhelmingly large. There were roller coasters, water rides, merry-go-rounds, gift shops, and restaurants galore. All sitting on its own little island off the coast of Lake Erie. “Cedar Point” is acclaimed to be the best park in the nation. And I think everyone else knew it because even on a Wednesday it was PACKED. We waited an hour for one ride (which was a lot of fun) and then decided to go to another straight after- bad idea. It took a little over two hours to get on the coaster, and by that point, it’s pretty hard to enjoy the ride when you’re that sweaty and lethargic. But we did, because it’s Cedar Point and awesome, so once we got buckled in our troubles vanished.
Except for the sweat. That stayed.
We ended up going on only 5 rides total during the six hours we were there, but they were pretty sweet rides. Aaaaaaand I got all of the coasters on Colby’s “Go-Pro” HD video camera. So keep an eye out for some awesome footage of some of the best roller coasters in the nation!
Half of the group made a delicious mexi-style dinner tonight and we topped it off with some fantastic chocolate cake and apple pie (hard to feel guilty about the dessert when there’s 67 miles to ride tomorrow). Hope everyone is doing well and keep cheering on your riders as we reach our halfway mark in Cleveland, Ohio!!
