Where to start...

Well I did not take anywhere near as many pictures as I thought I would, but regardless I suppose I will start at the beginning.

Day 1 - June 25th, 2007.

Well after waking up at 7 in the morning and then showering we headed to the park at around 8:15. We arrived at around 8:20 and were the first people in line to enter the park.

Maverick Sign Outside of the Park

After the national anthem played we found out that we needed to go to guest relations to get a stamp on our hand to enter the park, thanks Cedar Fair!

After we got that out of the way we ran straight for Raptor, which had no line, we walked straight on to the front row. All in all it was an okay ride, I prefer Batman but that may just be me, as I think Ethan loved it.

After that we headed towards Maverick.

This sign is really cool looking in person.

After arriving at Maverick we found out that it was down for "technical

reasons" who'd a thunk it?

May as well take some pictures while we're there right?

Maverick, Through its own supports!!

So we decided to walk back to Millennium Force and we waited it out for the front row, we waited around 40 minutes all together and it was a fantastic ride. Little did I know that a certain other Intamin would be stealing its thunder later that day...

I took few pictures and I can not quite remember what order we did what so I will move on to the pictures!

Eventually we made it over to Wicked Twister, its a good ride but I

prefer V2.

Why are all impulses yellow?

One more Wicked Twister Shot.

Even later in the day we made it over to Maverick at around 5ish, After getting in line I took no other pictures that day, but here are a couple I took before getting into line.

Here is the second installment..

- Day Two

Day two, June 26th, 2007.

We decided that we would go straight to Maverick this day, looking back I wish I had started running... When we got there in the morning, the line was already 20 minutes long, easily, darn Hotel Breakers guests...

Ah, I love the sight of Maverick in the morning ;).

After getting another great ride on Maverick we headed to Millennium Force and got a ride in the back seat, I prefer the front seat, but the back was very good as well. After that we headed to Top Thrill Dragster, where we waited an hour and got the back row, the airtime was amazing, but the launch was (obviously) not quite as good.

We then headed to lunch at Panda Express...

Ethan enjoying the spicy food.. I so wish I had bought a drink.

Then we started over towards Wicked Twister again.

This is a good paint scheme to have near the beach.

After another ride on Wicked Twister we started walking towards Maverick.

There is no way, I was getting on this, I probably would have puked.

We then got a great ride on Maverick at night, decided we had enough for the day and started back towards the front of the park at around 9:45.

Again, I took very few pictures today, I took most of my pictures on the final day, so thanks for viewing and I'll wrap this up tomorrow!
