Such great heights

I'm not a big fan of museums so I had been looking forward to going to Cedar Point and getting on some roller coasters!  The first ride we rode on was Mantis and turned out to be one of our least favorite rides ever.  It was very rough and our head banged around like rag dolls against our harnesses.  Plus we all almost blacked out 3 or 4 times.  We then got in line at Millenium Force but Mom decided not to ride that one because you had to pay for a locker for any loose articles like purses.  As we were waiting in line it was moving along fairly well for the first 20 minutes or so.   Then we didn't move for about 20 minutes and we still had about an hours worth of line to get through so we decided it wasn't worth it.  We left the line and went to look for Mom.  She thought that she was going to have lots of time so she was out walking around and couldn't hear her phone ringing as we were calling to find out where she was.  We finally just sat down to
wait for her to come back and then Sarah finally got a hold of mom and she came over to where we were sitting.  Unfortunately by then I at least was getting to be in a bad mood because we had wasted so much time already and had only gone on one bad roller coaster.  To cheer ourselves up we decided we should go on Sky Hawk which was one of our favorites from last time.  That certainly did the trick!  It was still as great as I remembered.  We also really liked Magnum XL200, Top Thrill Dragster, and The Wicked Twister.

We ended the day with funnel cake fries before leaving the park.
