The Cedar Point Dream

 Everyone knows this place, home to some extreme coasters, insane rides and one huge reputation. The coasters alone boast such a reputation with the first hyper (Magnum XL 200), the first giga (Millennium Force) and the first strata (Top Thrill Dragster) as well as rides such as Gatekeeper and Rougarou along with what is considered the best coaster in the world- Steel Vengeance. This park is the holy grail for many enthusiasts and I am one of those people so I thought I'd break it down and look at why I am so desperate to get to Sandusky, Ohio. History Of course the history undergraduate had to go straight to this but this park seems to have its history brushed to one side as its a park that constantly adapts, yet it is older then our old friend Pleasure Beach by 26 years and of their 16 operating coasters, only 6 opened this century. It's a park that keeps moving forward, always at the forefront of the amusement industry and breaking records. This is evident by the closure of ...

Opening weekend Mini Review

 So opening weekend has been and gone and my life is miserable now it’s over. I just wanted to get all my thoughts of an amazing weekend out there as a way to keep the memories made somewhere.  So after arriving in Manchester on Friday evening and having a couple of drinks and going to sleep way too late we woke up at 6am Saturday morning with the plan of getting to the park pretty early. Unfortunately trains ruined are lives however it wasn’t too bad and we were towards the front of the queue.  Starting on icon, as we do, it was running so well and it was so good to be back on it. We then proceeded to hit out some more rides and managed to cram in a good ride count before 1. We then went to the PBE log flume takeover. I was not sure if we would go on but we hopped on and it wasn’t too much of a soaker so we went again and that got us bad. After food the rain started coming down heavier and we ticked off a few more rides before calling it early to get ready for spoons....

My Ideal Park: Part 1

 So a bit of something different but I thought it'd be fun if I designed my own theme park, and by design I mean just give a vague theme and what rides would be there. It will be split other 4 parts and try to explain in as much detail as I can what I would do and why and how it would work. I essentially picked rides I'd like to try and then picked out a few themes that I think would be cool to see. This is basically Planet Coaster sandbox mode without actually being able to play the game or have any exact visuals. This is aimed to be just a bit of fun and as a student I still have some optimism left for stuff like this.  So in the first part, I wanted to explain the layout of the park, the entrance and the kids area. Not the most fun parts but good to set a picture and tick a few things off. Layout Right, so the main feature of the park is a large man made lake in the middle and the rest of the areas go around it, kinda like a circle. This lake will be hugs, with a fountain a...
