I had originally intended this to be a theme park review of Cedar Point. However, Cedar Point was so unusually packed that I think I'll hold off on that review until I can more properly evaluate it. We averaged 90 minutes of waiting per ride because there were over 40,000 people in the park by 2pm and it only got busier as the day wore on. The one slight disappointment is that its not a theme park-- its an amusement park. Amazing coasters, but next to no themeing to speak of.

But one thing really knocked my socks off-- the world famous Millennium Force coaster. That initial 310' drop gets you moving at 93 miles and hour. Woah. It was absolutely exhilarating... beyond words. Despite my heights wimpiness I was able to go hands up after the initial drop. Part of this was because the ride was so smooth you felt like you were flying. This was all heightened by the fact that I was riding it in the dark-- right after midnight to be exact. So the new Top-5 roller coaster list looks like this:

1) Millennium Force (Cedar Point)

2) Dueling Dragons - Ice (Islands of Adventure)

3) Sheikra (Busch Gardens Tampa)

4) Hulk (Islands of Adventure)

5) Superman Ride of Steel (Six Flags New England)
