Sandusky, Ohio here we come! Cedar Point Baby! At 7 am we headed out in the Up-Lander and headed South to Cedar Point. My Aunt, Uncle, Cousin, Tyler and I were excited to take this park by storm and we did. This is one of those days that can be best shown with a slide show so if you care to see our fun……….
At the end of the day there was one Roller Coaster that looked ever so daunting but I have this philosophy "When in Rome do as the Romans Do". That means if I ever get to New Zealand or Rome and they eat deep fried leather shoe as a cuisine than I would probably give it a go. So with Christine I loaded on the Dragster………just some facts:
- Track Length – 2800 ft
- Height – 420′
- Angle of the lift hill – 90 degrees
- Vertical drop – 400′
- Angle of Descent – 90 degrees
- Launch speed – 120 mph (in less than 4 seconds)
- Drop speed – 120 mph
Here is a little visual comparison:
I was very unsure and just so you know I have no real interest in plummeting to my death nor breaking any land speed records. I wondered why I would do this but you only live once. Might as well go out with my feet running in the sand………..
Here we are at the top!
I have some great shots on the coasters that I bought and will share once I scan from home. Thanks Aunt Audrey, Uncle Larry and Christine for a day that Tyler and we not forget. We love you!
