...buleeve me, "The Point" is for enthusiasts only. It's not an 'amusement park' with 'happy rides', it's a "Thrill Park" with 18 coasters (the most in the world) and other hardcore rides....its also a HUGE park, so bring your walking shoes. It's built on a peninsula in Lake Erie outside Cleveland.

You need about 2-3 days to get the full experience, it has a separate waterpark and hotels. It's worth it.

Don't sleep on Kings Island in the Nasty-'Natti:

'The Beast' - The Original Wooden record-breaker



'Son of Beast' The largest, longest wooden coaster on the planet


....Definitely don't sleep on Kings Island.:smt078

The whole reason for going to amusement parks is for the roller coasters. I'm definitely making a trip to Cedar Point now.

You are making me homesick! Love Millenium. Top Thrill was always friggin broke when I went there. I think the Power Tower is the most terrifying ride. It takes you up 300 ft, pauses for an indeterminate amount of time, and drops you! The only thing preventing you from the falling and kissing the pavement is the harness over your shoulders.

:smt028Bean, that hasn't changed. Top Thrill breaks down a lot. I believe the magnetic propulsion system they use isn't the most reliable...but when it's running....:smt078

Frankly, I thought the Power Tower was just ok. The Magnum and the Mantis seem to be the scariest. The Millennium is so damn fast, you don't get a chance to be scared.

:smt029....wait until you get on the crest of the hill of the Magnum, all you see is a misty Lake Erie...and you realize how great the Great Lakes really are....massive...and really....'Erie'.

Oh, don't forget the thrilling Mine Ride -the one that takes you up real high and drops you real low.

I went for a walk the other day with Jake and took some pics, this is around half a mile from my house or so.

 

[Bookworm616]

Great pictures Sarah!! Man, I really want to go there....

 

[Liquid Swords]

Hah... it's a tiny town (well two next to each other). There isn't much to do but the scenery is great. I had loads of fun there as a kid.

Unbelievable scenery, Sarah. The avatar pic is much improved, also!

This is my favourite part of where I live now: diving. Specifically, diving with sharks.

Madrid it's beautiful but I prefer Barcelona. Worked for a while there and fell in love with the city and Gaudi fascinates me.
I'll post some photos .
