They have a stand up roller coaster here as well called Mantis. If you don't mind being in the standing position for all the G's on that ride you will love it.

Millennium Force is the best coaster I've ever ridden. Never got on TTD, the wait was 4 hours.

You have no idea how well your avatar fits this post. Busch Gardens sucks, one would have to smoke crack to come to this conclusion.

Really? Damn,we were on within 25 mins on Sunday evening. Didn't get to ride today because of the rain though. Early in the morning and late in the day the lines really go down here.

Well, we made a visit to Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun last Monday. Needless to say, Cedar Point has completely ruined Worlds of Fun for me and my oldest son. We rode the Prowler (disappointing to say the least), Patriot and Mamba and decided to leave for Oceans within 40 minutes. It will never be the same now. ROFL

I'll have to plan another trip back to Cedar Point as soon as my second oldest (8) is completely comfortable with roller coasters.

Yeah, worlds of fun is really lame compared to other good amusement parks. The roller coasters aren't dynamic enough and dont offer any thrills after a while. This park is pretty much great for kids under 13.

I could ride Millennium Force and Maverick all day and not get bored.

When in Kings Island, be sure to check out the Beast, and the Vortex. In my opinion you should have gone to Kings Island before Cedar Point though, because now that you have ridden Millenium Force, everything else will suffer by comparison. I haven't gone to Kings Island in a few years though, so I haven't gotten to try out the Diamondback yet.

Beast was outstanding. Vortex didn't really impress me that much. It was fun for the first go around but after that it was meh. Diamondback was great though.

Why waste your valuable vacation dollars driving to Ohio, where they won't appreciate it.

I'll set you up with a tourist agenda of the great state of Iowania. You'll get 2-3 stops for the gas money to get to Ohio.
:clap:

Nice marketing skills....

Cedar Point is awesome, but I still like Universal Studios halloween weekends.
