I got to the park at 10:00. the view of the park is awesome. I went on raptor first, Best inverted coaster that I have ever been on. Next I went on wicked twister 2 times no line! Its smoother than steel venom at Valleyfair! and I also like the double twist better than the single twist that steel venom has. Then I got a pop 2:75 just like at Valleyfair is a huge rip off. Next we went on ocean motion a land ride that is really fun because you get a lot of air time. We then waited in a 2 hour line for mantis . Worst line I have been on. The ride itself is ok but not worth the wait. Next we went on Millenium Force. 2nd best ride in the park after ttd. I couldn't believe how steep the lift hill is. It's first drop is the best drop of a hyper coaster that I have been on. The ride keeps a good speed for the whole ride. I really liked the banked turn at the end it's almost like going upside down. Next I got some dipping dot's those are awesome. After Millenium force we walked around for a while. Than we rode Top Thrill Dragster 1hour wait. That ride's speed is crazy. It excelerates so fast. It makes wicked twisters exceleration look weak. We went 122 and made it over the top easy. Next we hit some flat rides. My mom started to like smaller roller coasters after that so we went on disaster transport than we looked for the flume becouse my moms friend who went with us only liked water rides for some reason. We ended up going on the river rapids ride and got soaked After that we went on swings, gemini 2 times, magnum xl200, and a few more rides. Day two I know everyone doesnt want me to go threw another day so I will just say the rides i rode the second day ttd 2 times mf 2 times Power tower 1 time each meanstreak 1 time bluestreak 1 time gemini 2 times corkscrew 1 time raptor 1 time wild cat 1 time and a lot of flat rides. I had a great time at cp
I also went to valleyfair yesterday and everything looked small in comparision to cp.

I see no Cedar Downs in your ride list. My personal regret is 3 trips to The Point and I still haven't ridden it yet.

I thought that they might be in Camp snoopy, because I didnt exactly explore that section of the park. Only if I could dig up my park map...

The swings are back by Snake River Falls. The Swan boats are now at MiA.
They do have Lolli Swings in Camp Snoopy but you have to have a kid to ride them
-------------------- Coaster count - 216

This is a bit off topic, but that coaster count is quite impressive!

I have a CP park map. One of my sister's freinds went there and brought me back a map. I have tons of pamphlets and park maps. I've collected them since I was little. I have one that is advertising the "all new flying super saturator" at PC, Im not sure how I got that one, since Ive never been there

I try to keep maps too, but often times they get wet or crinkled, so I try to grab quite a few. I have mailed parks before requesting replacements, and Ive yet to have a problem getting one.

I rode cedar downs but didnt think it was worth a ten, I didn't want anyone to get mad if I rated it like a 6. So I decided not to put in a rating

As long as you support you rating with anything more than a 1-liner or an 'It sucked", people will respect your opinion. Its the same with giving a high rating, you have to back it up
