Home safe and sound from our little road trip to Pennsylvania. I say little, like we didn't drive through Mountainous detours (Delaware Water Gap anyone?), crazoid construction, unpredictable wildlife and general human error (that would be you, Sir in the Ford, with the blinker on, not changing lanes). Luckily my Gentlemanly Friend is a master driver, and our old room mate whom I'll dub Roomie, navigated, so I mostly tried to watch out for deer and exit signs.
Also because we are New Yorkers I'm interjecting here I was also quite impressed by the Loyalty of Ohio...our Honda was a lonely little Asian car in a Highway packed with Chevys, Cadillacs, Dodges and Fords. I've heard rumors of this, but where we live, there's a lot of every kind of car.
We also wondered aloud every ten minutes or so, how a ginormous theme park like Cedar Point couldn't be seen for miles around over all that corn. Believe it or not Sandusky, Ohio, on the edge of Lake Erie (uh, hey Canada) has not one but two fab vacation destinations. (Yep, Fab.) Cedar Point and Kalahari Resorts.
Cedar Point is for you crazy, thrill seekers. It has these:
It also has something called Possessed which despite its simple design was quite possibly one of the most disturbing rides I've ever been on.
Kalahari Resorts is this crazy indoor larger than life waterpark with a Zip Coaster, a ginormous Toilet bowl ride (not a joke, although no urine or fecal matter is involved), Wave pool, awesome tubes and an a really romantic waterfall hot tub with a swim up bar. Now that I'm done sounding like your travel agent, have a look:
ok the reeeeeally funny thing is these pictures are from 3 summer's ago. I'm really really behind on my uploads.
Pix of me and a Hershey's Symphony bar next up! Not to mention Rides like Sky Rush and Giant Bear!
Also, for those of you Coaster inclined, Help Settle the Debate!
Front of the Ride or Back of the Ride?
Full discuss next time, but feel free to start now! =)
Ever since 3 years ago when we saw an awesome theme park on the Travel Channel, and decided to make it our vacation spot, we've been plottin' our trips around G Force and Vert Drops. We've hit up quite a number of them since and I hafta' say its the best combination of adrenaline and relaxation for me. What's relaxing about a roller coaster you might ask? Walking away, limbs intact haha
That 1st year We happened to be headed to Ohio for a wedding, and figured, hey what's an extra 3 hours through the corn fields to get to some of the greatest coasters/water slides in the country. Actually we said "That looks cool let's go there", and then found out that you get there after 3 hours of Corn that looked like this :

Cedar Point is for you crazy, thrill seekers. It has these:
