Welcome to Ohio!

On my last trip up to IN, Stephen and I had the chance to go back to Cedar Pointe in Ohio with some of his family members; James and Liz. The morning started out realllly early but it was totally worth it! Last year when we went to Cedar Pointe (my first time) I had not been feeling well, so I knew this year had to be better and it was! We had a great day and rode everything we wanted to ride. Given the day we went was the 4th of July weekend, we expected HUGE crowds and long line but to our surprise neither were present. Now for the big announcement...(drum roll please...)...

I RODE THE MILLENNIUM FORCE!!! WOOOHOO!

Here is what Wikipedia says about the Millennium Force:
Angle of lift hill: 45 degrees
Angle of first drop: 80 degrees
First hill height: 310 ft (94 m)
Second hill height: 169 ft (52 m)
Third hill height: 182 ft (55 m)
Fourth hill height: 100 ft (30 m)
Maximum speed: 93 mph
Four overbanked turns
Two tunnels
Four hills


Okay, so it is not the fastest or baddest now but I am still super proud of myself for riding it twice...yep, twice and both times were AWESOME. I would so go back just to ride it again, definitely my favorite coaster now. Sorry Rockin' Roller Coaster, you have been pushed to second.

Here are some pictures throughout the day. Enjoy!!
