				sorry
			 
			
			Well, it seems i messed this up.  Sorry folks.  I, for some reason, thought submitting a new thread it would have to be "okayed" by someone. Also, my uploaded pics didn't seem to make it either. But the link works and it is a pretty amazing set of images. Aplogies for the mess up-- |

			Holy shit. It's twice as tall and fast as Possessed - and that one yanked the spit right out of my mouth when I tried to scream... I didn;t pee though, and plan to keep it that way...

			Cedar point has a LOT of high, fast, steep rollercoasters. More world-record holders and past record holders than anywhere else int he world. In fact, the highest point in the state (If I remember correctly) is the top of that roller coaster. And Ohio has more amusement parks than any other state. I'm from Ohio, BTW but I live in Calgary, AB, Canada now, our largest park is Calaway Park ~sigh~

			Oh yes PLEASE! Ir you can work out a way to make the trip under £500, I can be there by this September. Well, it'd have to be after the schools are back in because of queueing anyway. |

			O.M.G...what a great idea!   True about timing, a weekday when schools are back in session is best. Though I will wait 2-3 hours for a good coaster, I'd rather not, and ride it twice! "Line jumping is not a sport."

			Re: Pic #3, I imagine that girl isn't the only one who walked away with wet pants. Maybe even brown pants.
