Good morning from Cedar Point! Expecting it to be packed today as usual but at least it’s something to do.
Walking to SteVe, immediately.
Visiting Daddy on Father’s Day! Love you Papa SteVe!!
11:13am: Literally the best experience we had on SteVe. Wait was estimated at 40 min and it took less than that, no breakdowns while we were in line, and they let Chooch and me have the back. I love this stupid fucking psycho coaster so much!
Henry got front row and is so smug about it.
Now he’s making us wait in line for Maverick which is broken down and I hate this gamble!!! It almost never works out well for us.
me: new thing! Since I’m liveblogging let’s take a selfie in every line we wait in.
Thanks Chooch.
11:38am: Fuck you, Maverick. Moving on because I couldn’t take hearing the bitch in front of me talk about her basic bitch interests anymore.
11:54am ditched Henry, now in line for Iron Dragon 🐉
ALSO, Chooch hates my new selfie rule.
iron dragon was way FUNNER than I remember FYI.
12:45pm: got lunch at the new pavilion and the service was TRASH. the roll was the best part of the meal. Views are nice though!
They’re playing retro ragtag covers of shitty pop songs though and a Taylor Swift one is on now so that dragged down the lunch review.
Chooch bonded with a guy in the bathroom over the awful music. “I didn’t think they could make Taylor Swift worse.”
12:54pm Gatekeeper selfie!
everyone hates me!
That was the best Gatekeeper ride I’ve ever had!
1:29pm: Carousel line selfie!
1;51pm: Choochs phone just died and he wants to go home because now he will either have to talk to “us guys” or look at the sky LOLOL.
Waiting for out old car thing! Henry can’t hear.
We got the slowest car here and people are on our asses. Chooch is so pissed. He just said he feels like Janna lol hi Janna!
2:03pm: RAPTOR’S LINE IS LIKE 10 MINUTES!!
Ok I’m saying it: Raptor is my favorite B&M invert. I SAID IT.
now we’re in line for the new Wild Mouse which is an HOUR wait and the guys in front of me are wearing patchouli and chooch is being pissy.
Pissy “I wouldn’t be in a bad mood all day if I had a belt” Chooch.
3:08pm: Still in line. Some little kid the next row over tapped me on the shoulder and said excuse me you have a bug on your shirt and of course I always think I’m the butt of a joke so I panicked but I did indeed have a MAYFLY on my shirt so Henry got it off for me which then turned into me blaming Henry for not doing a better job guarding my person from bugs and other harmful things.
3:14pm: Still in line but maybe another 15? At least people here aren’t assholes like at Canada’s Wonderland.
I asked chooch if he is immediately going to add this to his spreadsheet and he said I CANT MY PHONE IS DEAD. lololol. Also “Call Me Maybe” is on right now!!
3:53pm: that was the best Wild Mouse I’ve ever been on! It was trimless! Henry bit his lip lol. We got the pink car!
Now we’re in line for Gemini which only I am excited for!
The way I have to beg for these selfies though.
ugh stupid Henry has to treat himself.
5:01pm:
Rode MaxAir, it was fine.
Now Chooch is spending money. He won a medium sized prize!
5:11pm: We left! Bye bye Cedar Point!
Some thoughts from the car:
- Raptor was a big highlight – from the delightfully enthusiastic dad & 2 kids in front of us to the overall fantastic ride, I declared that it was my second favorite ride in the whole park.
- SO MUCH TAYLOR SWIFT WAS HEARD TODAY.
- This was the first time we didn’t ride Millie and that felt kind of weird. We were actually only in that area once, even.
- This was the best ride I’ve ever had on Gatekeeper. I even grayed out!
- I got stapled on Gemini so that wasn’t very enjoyable.
- We didn’t ride Magnum! I will only ride it if it’s a station wait bc I do like it but it hurts!
- I thought the addition of Wild Mouse to the revamped boardwalk area was really cute and fits nicely with the theme. It just sucks that it’s such a short ride and will probably always have a long wait because even the shittiest Wild Mouses in other parks get notoriously long waits. But I thought the theming was super eye-catching and I also liked that they were playing legit beach music in that area. I did suggest to Chooch that they should play the Back to the Beach soundtrack and he rolled his eyes at me.
- Only lowlight really was MAVERICK (so sick of that one breaking down constantly) and the service we experienced at the new Grand Pavilion. The cashier was nice though, I should specify that the coldness was reserved for the people behind the food counter thing. Not a single person made eye contact with us or smiled. It made me so uncomfortable and I almost didn’t even want to order anything from there.
- The cookies were back to being good!! I feel like the last time we got them from the bakery they were really dry and stale. The snickerdoodles were sooooo MOIST today.
- Overall, it wasn’t really crowded there at all for a weekend. I wish we were had been staying over though so we could have stayed until close because I can only imagine how many more rides we could have made it on. Every time I checked the ride times, SteVe had never gone past 60 minutes which is unheard of. But I was content with the one ride we got on it this morning, especially since we only had to wait about 30 minutes!
- Maybe someday, someone will actually want to come with us?? I tried to get my brother to come with us but he promised our dad he’d go over for a visit and, oh yeah, I guess it was Father’s Day after all lol.
The end.
