Everything outside of Cedar Point is just not the same... that's the place to be for roller coasters, period.
That first one looks like it would be a good thrill.... but FUCK that second one. Jesus christ I would be so motion sick. It would be raining throw up.

But yea, we are spoiled here in Ohio. Cedar Point is like rollercoaster Mecca.

This is Millenium Force. I went back and looked at the video. They are a tad different.

And of course there is Top Thrill Dragster. This video deosnt even come close to showing the magnitude of this ride. 425ft tall and 120 mph... shit.

Holy shit. I thought the only thing fun to do in Ohio was pack up and get the fuck out. I think I must take a trip to this magical coaster land.

Hey now.

Its a must do. There is about 17 major time coasters packed onto an island, surrounded by Lake Erie. The view from 300 ft up is amazing, especially around sunset.

Agreed. Only about 2.5hrs from my house.

Agreed. Nothing I have ever seen or heard about even comes close to Cedar point. Those vids you guys posted from other places was lame. The intimidator? Who's intimidated? A child maybe. But as stated... I have been going to cedar point since I was like 10.

Same here, I've been to Cedar Point at least 10 times... Heck, I remember when the Corkscrew was the big thing...

I think King's Dominion was bought buy Cedar Point, so the "Intimidator" is probably a copy of Millenium Force. MF looks a little better I think.

King's Dominion is a cool place, probably better than any other park I have been to, I have never been to Cedar Point though.

The main difference it looks like is Intimidator doesnt have the crazy ass inversions like MF has. Taking those banked inversions at 85mph is nuts. MF's first drop is actually lower than a 90* drop too, it actually bends inward before you start curling up.

But by far Raptor and Wicked Twister are my favorite rides there. Hands Down.

I haven't been to CP in a while. I hate the lines. Guess you got to go mid week outside standard kid summer to avoid that some.
