Sean's Cedar Point Field Trip

 Sean had a field trip with 7th grade to Cedar Point for the day a week ago.  I had volunteered to chaperone, but did not get picked because there were a lot of parents who volunteered.  Sean still really wanted me to be there so I decided to pull Evan out of school and take him with me for the day.  We left at 7:30am and got there about a half hour before the park opened.  We were second in line!  Sadly, it was a rainy day so we had to bundle up and wear raincoats most of the day.  It was chilly too, only 55 degrees as a high.  


We rushed to the back of the park to go to Steel Vengeance and it was awesome!  We walked on the first time and only waited maybe 10 minutes to ride it a second time.  We wanted to do Maverick next, but it was closed for maintenance.  So, we walked to Millennium Force and waited about 10 minutes for that ride.  I remember when that ride opened...things have changed so much since then!  We got lunch afterwards at the cute little diner by Millennium Force and since I had bought the meal plan for myself, we shared an entrée.  






We wanted our food to settle a bit so we did the Cadillac Cars and Evan loved it!  I remember as a kid always loving to "drive" those too.  We then did Valryvn and it was our favorite!  We were in the middle row and it was intense even in the middle.  We did Rougarou a bunch of times since it was a walk-on ride, walked over to Frontier Town again to see the farm, and made our way back to Maverick that was back open.  That was about a 30 minute wait.  Then we grabbed another entrée to split in Frontier Town with my dining plan.  











We made our way back to Main Street and did the Derby Horses, did some shopping (we didn't buy anything), and did Valryvn again, but the front row this time!  It was so scary, but we loved it.  We finally ran into Sean, who was having a blast with his group and definitely didn't "need" me for anything.  At this point the wind had picked up and they closed Gatekeeper and Raptor, which sadly we didn't get to ride.  So, we rode Rougarou a few more times, grabbed another entrée at an Italian place, and hit the road to head home around 6pm.  











It was a fun day and I'm glad we went!  Just wish the weather would have been better!
