I have been going to Cedar Point for as long as I can remember. When I was a kid, my dad's company, Smucker's, would have their annual picnic there every three years. (They rotated between Cedar Point, Sea World and Clay's Park Resort.) I grew up riding the Blue Streak, Cedar Downs, the Mine Ride and all the others. We might only go once a year -- or maybe once every three years, but Cedar Point was the highlight of my summers. As an adult, I have't gone quite as often, until recently. … [Read more...]

Valravn Roller Coaster Revisited
I had the opportunity to be one of the the first 1,500 people to ride the new rollercoaster at Cedar Point, the Valravn, in May 2016. It was a great experience-took my breath away. The coaster is the tallest, fastest, longest dive coaster in the world. I recently returned to Cedar Point for Bloggy Con 2016 the weekend of September 16-18. We stayed at Hotel Breakers and had passes for the park all three days. I decided that it would be a great way to end the summer, like I started, with a … [Read more...]
