Cedar Point

We had a chance to go to Cedar Point after arriving in Michigan a few weeks ago. It was such a blast. These are no wimpy coasters, they're the kind that make boys feel manly and chicks feel like they want to scream and cry at the same time. We went with a huge family crew Phil, Brandon, Abby, their kids Kyle, Kendra and Reed and us YES including Thomas. He would have gone on anything but had to suffice for the kiddie rides. He spent all day going in circles on cars, trucks, planes, ect. He loves pretending to drive anything with a steering wheel. He had as much or more fun than the adults. We didn't bring a camera knowing we wanted to tote around water instead.
This is what the web site says about the Dragster:

TOP THRILL DRAGSTER "Get ready for the ride of your life. This amazing speed machine is one of the tallest and fastest roller coasters on Earth. Climb aboard unique dragster-style trains and inch forward to the starting line. The engine revs. Your heart pumps. The tree lights count down to green and you're launched to speeds of 120 mph in less than 4 seconds. The ride's just getting started as you climb 420 feet into the air, crest a massive hill and spiral 270 degrees as you speed towards the finish line. The entire experience is over in 17 seconds."
The park boasts an unheard of 17 roller coasters (more than any other park in the world)! With a lineup that includes three of the top 10 steel roller coasters in the world, Cedar Point is a coaster lover's dream come true.

Check out some of the other rides: we couldn't do them all but we liked Raptor, Top Thrill Dragster, Madgnum, and Mellinium.
