Raptor's big bad part for me is it's ending helix.  The forces are just so strong I feel my blood pooling in my feet and that hurts like heck.  Some might like it but for me it's just a little too much.



Hidden behind Raptor is the only worthwhile wooden coaster at Cedar Point the Blue Streak.  Do not miss this ride!  It was running phenomenal with ejector airtime in the back over most of it's hills.  It rarely has a line as it's off the midway and hidden so you can ride it and then run around and catch the same train again and again.

Oh, there are a lot of idiots who think that because it's not that big of a ride they can whip out their cameras on it and take a few pictures.  Twice we ended up getting stopped on the lift hill as idiots were caught whipping out cameras. Just a note Cedar Point does not allow cameras to be used on any of their coasters.



On the Lake Erie side of Cedar Point sits the only ride on the trip that got me nervous.  MaxAir is a "Giant Frisbee" ride from Huss.  What it does is swing you back and forth while spinning you around.  I like the swinging but I really wasn't sure about the spinning as I tend to get sick from that.  Surprisingly I only had a moment of queasiness on this long ride but what was wonderful was as you swing up you get hit with cool breezes coming off of the lake.  So if you need to cool down give MaxAir a go.



Here comes Paul "Bratman" from the Negative-G Forums coming to join us.  He is known as the "Destroyer of Rides" as wherever he goes rides begin to break down.  He has taken down so many coasters he has two counts...1 for the coasters he's been on and 1 for the coasters he's broken.  He's from Toronto and as soon as he crossed the border rides began breaking down all over Cedar Point.  Our hope was that we could put his evil power to our use by causing a rollback on Top Thrill Dragster.
