Cedar Point

Day 2: My brothers and I spent over 11 hours today at Cedar Point amusement park. The park is most famous for its collection of tall and fast roller coasters and the park fully lived up to the legend.

Among many others, we rode each of our two favorite rides twice. The Millennium Force is a very modern roller coaster that drops from high above Lake Erie to a speed of 93 mph. The Top Thrill Dragster starts from a level track and rockets on a hydraulic cable to a speed of 120 mph. At full speed, the ride shoots vertically 420 feet into the air before turning down and spinning in a corkscrew fashion before leveling out again.

We are all totally exhausted after a day on our feet and ready to crash for the night. Stay tuned for more details tomorrow.
