Mantis and Raptor are two great BM's! On your signature you typed your fav coaster is v2/raging bull. V2 is also my fav roller coaster next to Superman Krypton Coaster! Well since you like v2 I also recommend going on wicked twister. Just like v2 except taller, no brake hold, and 2 vertical twists instead of one. Hope i was helpful! :D :) :( :o :shock: :? 8) :lol: :x :P :oops: :cry: :evil: :twisted: :roll: :wink: :!: :?: :idea: :arrow:

Yeah, Raptor and Mantis are my most favorites after TTD and MF. Like batman1150 said in the above post, if you enjoy V2 you will probably like Wicked Twister. I personally like WT better. I also thought Magnum was really fun.

How dare anyone forget to mention Gemini! I'm outraged. It is clearly the best ride in the park by a ton... When your there say Hi to me.

The opinions stated above are based on the fact that more riders ride Gemini than any other Cedar Point roller coaster. No I'm not really pissed but hey I'm working the ride so I've got to stand up for it. Have fun reading the fine print, and if you have to open it in a text processor and enlarge it, your a cheater.

No one has mentioned The Power Tower, Blue or Mean Streak, or Iron Dragon. Make sure you also ride Wicked Twister, Raptor, mantis, MF, and TTD (especially if the cloud level is below 375ft.) It is so awesome to go above the clouds on a ride.

My favorites at CP have to be TTD, MF, Mantis, Blue Streak, and Wildcat. The rest are great rides, but i didnt really like them as much. Ride the woodies there in front row, it makes it less painful, lol, in my opinion. But you will defiantly have to ride MaXair.

IMHO Mean Streak Sucks, only ride if you really need the credit badly, Magnum has amazing airtime but be careful if your sitting above the wheels. Raptor is so wonderful I can't describe it, it must be experienced. Mantis is fun and I like it more than Iron Wolf, but Im sure B&M could've done better had Cedar Point asked them to. Gemini is alot of fun between the racing and the awesome airtime. Blue Streak is great, back seat is the best. M-Force of course the most amazing and breath taking experience I've ever had. I havn't tried TTD yet (6 am ERT durring Coastermania!), I also haven't tried Wicked Twister yet, this year for sure.

Heres the ride order I pull and its pretty sucessful:
TTD (only if line is hour or so)
Magnum
Gemini
Mean Streak
Cedar Creek
Eat some food, you need to wait a while for the front of the park to thin out around 1 or so. You could ride Corkscrew.
Wicked Twister
Raptor
Mantis
MF
After that all the lesser roller coasters aren't a huge wait so it shouldn't be a problem. Hope I helped.

Dont waste your time with dragster if its closed, alot of people will wait in line for hours thinking it will open, which is wasting time you can be riding other things in the park, ride as much as you can on everything else.

I'm going opening day. Since you're going the 21st, my suggestion is: ride all of them. Now, you might have to do something to get onto Jr. Gemini (I have special passes just for JG) but that should be it. That time of the season is (usually) dead! My favorite attack plan is: MF, a around through frontiertown (back of park), TTD around 2 (when they give away FreeWays, so VERY few people wait for the real thing!) then the stuff on that midway, the move to the front of the park. Just before closing, hop in line for MF again. That way, you can watch the laser show while waiting for the best coaster. (Now, I'm staying in Hotel Breakers, so I've got early entrance passes, so this will totally change.) Anyway, Cedar Point is fun no matter what!

If you want to know the no-miss coasters are (in order):
MF
Magnum
Gemini
Blue Streak
Raptor
TTD
Yes.

I'm going to Cedar Point this summer and meeting my friend there. Just a little backround info. I went last year also but it packed. I rode Raptor, Blue Streak, and MF (Top Thrill Dragster was a 3 hour wait)

My advice to you is to look at these websites below and look at the pictures, Read about them, then decide for your self. Also, check out the photozone on the main page. There is a whole Cedar Point album there.

Sites:

http://www.CedarPoint.com
http://www.CoasterGallery.com
http://www.coasterimage.com/pictures/cedarpoint/

These are just some. For more, go to http://www.google.com, and type Cedar Point Websites.

ADVISE: Go to Top Thrill Dragster first thing. That line fills up in a heartbeat.

Hope that helps :wink:
It's green. It's blue. It's all over you! Enjoy your ride on Déjà Vu

Well I also need to watch my time because I'm going with a middle school band but my friends only seem to be intrested in TTD and MF so I guess if we have time(check ins, eating, awards for the band) after those I'll talk them in to hitting WT and all them.

I found some bad news out today. My friend who hates coasters is in my group. That means I can only ride TTD and MF then I have to do slow flat rides the rest of the time. Hopefuly what he picks is by something intresting.
