Cedarpoint Themepark
On our way to Niagara falls, we went to cedarpoint theme park in Sandusky, OH. Oh my god, that was one of the greatest places I've even been to. Later we came to know that this place had got world's best ranked roller coasters.
Two of the great rides that I went was the wicked twister and skyhawk. See how the web site had described the experience.
"Wicked Twister is the tallest and fastest "double-twisting" impulse roller coaster ever created. This steel giant is comprised of a U-shaped track with the ends reaching 215 feet into the air and is powered by a linear induction motor. Riders sit two abreast in specially designed seats suspended from the track above. Then, without warning, Wicked Twister launches riders forward out of the station and up a 90-degree, twisting steel track. Once the train slows to a stop, it streaks back down the structure and into the station before being launched backward up another twisting track. The train races up and down the track a total of five times at an amazing top speed of 72 mph! But that is not all. Each tower twists 450 degrees, providing one of the most unique ride experiences ever."
Only me, Jayampathi and his wife went in this. It was amazing. When you go up twisting at a rate of 72mph and when you look down...., oh my god, I can still feel it. You go up twisting, go straight, go backwards everything at a rate of 72mph. I can not explain the feelings I had but that was amazing.
The next amazing one was Skyhawk.
"Skyhawk features two giant swinging arms, each 84 feet in length, with 20 seats on each arm. Each set of 20 seats consists of two rows of 10 seats, positioned back to back, that provide each rider with a “front row” view. Using pneumatic technology similar to that used on Power Tower, riders are thrilled as they are pushed toward the sky, then experience weightlessness as they reverse direction and rush back toward the ground – just like the drop side of a roller coaster – with no ride structure in their path. At the peak of the arc, riders on Skyhawk are more than 125 feet in the air and reach speeds of 60 mph in both directions!"
Also in this one only me, Jayampathi and his wife went. Actually I was really afraid to go in this. Jayampathi's wife wanted to go in this so Jayampathi had to go. He was so scared and he asked me to come. But at the end it ended up being a great experience.
I am so worried that I missed three great roaller coasters. One was going 420 up at a rate of 120 mph and coming down also at that rate, perpendiculare to the ground. And also twisted in the mid way. The dragster was ranked first couple of times in the world among other roaller coasters. See the video given in the site for this.
There was also another one where you have to go up and down standing up. Wow, that was great.
If some one is looking for a great experience cedarpoint is one of the greatest. Also I do not think you can enjoy all of them in a day.

It has 3M tint and a decent sound system. It has a few small scratches (to be realistic) which I will be painting in a week or so.
