Busy, busy, busy..and some history :)

Ya. So I haven't written for over a month....sorry about that. I got really busy with work and for a while I was just going to give up the whole blogging thing. Then I decided to get back on track...it would give me something to do at least.

So the last time I wrote, I was getting ready to move in with 15 other girls. Well I met a girl here and we decided to be roommates, so I moved into the dorms instead. I later found that this was a really good move, but I'll get into this later. For a few days we were the only ones in the room for 3 and we hoped it stayed that way. We also found out that because the park wasn't open yet, people were very loud....I mean, they still are that way, but not as late into the night because we actually work now lol. Anyways, after about 3 days our third roommate moved in and she was really cool, she saved us from our boredom. She brought a TV, Playstation, Guitar Hero, singing games, and a fridge...ya, so we accepted her right away :) We actually became pretty good friends. It was fun, we went into the park before it opened and watched the rides as they were test running them. We goofed around while we still could. Well, after a few weeks, Megan, my first roommate, decided that she liked the Bayside Apartments better so she moved in with a friend, and a day later Star, my second roommate, moved out too......
Don't get me wrong...we're still friends. Star works in games with me so I see her all the time :)
Megan works in the stores so I go visit her sometimes.
I've made some other really good friends here too. My best friend here, CJ, showed me around the park, the best rides to ride, how to get free food :), and so on. He also made sure I rode all of the coasters. I mean, that's why I came here right, they have the best coasters here, no joke. I couldn't even tell you which one is my favorite.

This one is Top Thrill Dragster. It was the tallest and fastest, but another park recently opened a ride that beat it. Anyway, it is 420ft. high, and it goes 120 MPH. The ride only lasts 17 seconds and is known for it's 4 hour lines.

This one is Millennium Force. This isn't the best picture I have of it, but it was the tallest before they built Dragster. It was built in 2000.

This is Maverick, the newest of all the coasters. It was just built last year and won awards for being the best new coaster in 2007. It's drop is a 95 degree angle (as shown in the picture) and halfway through the ride you enter a tunnel and get shot out of it at 70 MPH.
This one is the Mantis. It's the only stand up coaster in Ohio. It also has the tallest loop in Cedar Point.

This one is Gemini. It's a dueling coaster. If you don't know what that means, it has two trains that run at the same time side by side, and they race. It's pretty cool to watch (which is what I get to do all day because I work across from it lol). It just recently celebrated it's 30th anniversary.
This one is the Raptor. It's a fun one to ride, but I think it's also one of the noisiest lol. It's not necisarilly one of my favorites because I always come off of it with a headache.
This one is the Iron Dragon. Along with the Corkscrew, this one is probably one of the most boring roller coasters in the park... lol

As you can see, I'm also learning a lot about the history of the park. :) That happens when you spend every day here for months at a time.
There's 10 other coasters, but I don't have pictures of them on my computer yet. I'm sure I'll get them posted when I get them uploaded. The only thing that really has been going on is work, there's nothing too exciting about that. Maybe I'll post later about some of the cool rides here (non-roller coaster ones :) ).
