My Trip to Cedar Point: Part 1

By -
In September of 2019, I was able to take my first visit ever to America's Roller Coast, the one and only Cedar Point! 
I had very high expectations for this park, and they were not only met, but exceeded! This park is incredible, and does not sacrifice quality in any way, and is one of the only parks that I feel has quality at the same importance as quantity. In this post, I will be reviewing some of the incredible attractions at this park, and part two will follow up with any attractions I might not have gotten to here. 

Steel Vengeance
This is the most incredible roller coaster I have ever ridden. This Rocky Mountain Construction hybrid coaster is absolutely amazing. The coaster stands at an impressive 205 feet, with the structure looking even more menacing as it is entirely wood. The elements that this coaster has are just insane, with more airtime moments than I could count, and hang time galore. The outward banked top hat was just so unique, and the speed-hills have you wondering what's happening. This coaster certainly lived up to its hype.






Maverick
Maverick truly shows that good things come in small packages. This Intamin Blitz launch coaster is absolutely incredible. The coaster packs in multiple low to the ground twists and turns, and amazing inversions. The second launch is intense! the entire ride is kept extremely comfortable by soft, vest like restraints. The ride is also enhanced by its placement over water, along with water jets that shoot off when the train passes by!





Rougaru
Rougaru is Cedar Point's B&M Floorless coaster, and the layout is absolutely fantastic. The ride was originally a Stand Up coaster called Mantis, but was recently retrofitted with flourless trains. While they layout was great, the ride itself was a little bit rough, which made it less enjoyable than it could have been.


Wicked Twister
Wicked Twister is the parks Intamin Impulse coaster, which launches riders back and forth. This was my first Impulse coaster, and I found it to be a ton of fun! Sitting in the back row, while going up the reverse spike is utterly terrifying in the best way possible!



Thanks for reading Part 1 of my Cedar Point trip! Stay tuned for more!

Universal Studios Florida: Revenge Of The Mummy Production Tour

This is a report about the Production Tour on Revenge Of The Mummy at Universal Studios Florida. This report may contain spoilers for those who have not yet done the tour, but are planning on doing it. Disclaimer: All Backstage photos and videos were taken with permission from my tour guide. Apparently some tour guides do not allow for photos, so be sure to ask the Team Member accompanying on the tour. The Mummy Production Tour takes guests through both the overflow and regular queue, paying attention to the props and explaining everything. The overflow queue is only used during peak times, so it is not usually seen by the public. The theme of the queue is that the riders are extras for the Mummy movie, and there is a huge debate regarding if the "curse" is real or not. The first big room in the overflow queue is the "Blue Room"  The "Blue Room has many blueprints of movie props and photos from the movies on the walls.

The Incredible Hulk Coaster- Review

The Incredible Hulk Coaster is truly... Incredible . This one of a kind B&M Launch Coaster stands 110ft above the lagoon at Universal's Islands of Adventure. The ride originally opened with the park in 1999, but recently just reopened from a total rebuild. In this review, I will be going through different categories and rating the ride on a 1-10 scale.. Theming and Scenery The Hulk is themed to a science experiment led by    General Thaddeus Ross . It explains that the volunteers (riders) will be exposed to Gamma radiation, and become a Hulk. The queue has some detailed physical sets and a really  interesting CGI video. The launch tunnel is also enclosed inside of a Gamma Ray Gun of sorts, which looks really good from the outside. Also, every time a train launches, the roar of Hulk is played through a speaker outside the tunnel. The rides location over the lagoon does look amazing too! Queue/Off Ride Theming: 8/10 The ride vehicles are typical B&M Sitdown t

King's Island Photos

Back in September I was able to take a trip out to Ohio to visit Kings Island. Since I only had a few hours at the park, I focused more on my experience than taking photos.  This park was incredibly nice, and I found it to be a great mix of Knott's Berry Farm, Kings Dominion, and Carowinds! This park is home to some incredible coasters.  Banshee is an incredible inverted coaster that flawless mixes the old, snappy style of B&M coasters, with their new subdued and smooth style rides.  Mystic Timbers , the parks terrain GCI wooden coaster was relentless from start to finish, while still providing a smooth ride experience. The Racer was a fun, classic wooden coaster, who's experience was brought up a level with the side-by-side racing aspect, and was just pure fun! Adventure Express , the parks Arrow Mine Train, was actually a highlight. This ride is just plain fun in all of its quirky glory! Invertigo is the parks Vekoma Inverted Boomerang
