I agree that Busch is a beautiful park…my two kids love it and it is no slouch in the ride department. Andrew, I hope that the post above helps with your Cedar Point trip. This site is awesome for fans of roller coasters….my two boys are ages 11 and 8 and coasters are about the only thing that all three of us like to do together as far as a trip!

Sounds like a very good year. Those six parks include some of the best in the country as far as the coasters they offer. And by Busch I'm assuming you mean Busch Gardens Europe in Virginia. It's probably my favorite theme park. Nice recap Daniel, maybe I should do the same in a post.

Hey, Shirako. Sorry I can't help you with the g-force question. I haven't played a coaster sim in years. Let me know how the ride turns out though.

I went to Cedar Point in May on Sunday at the end of the month. I can tell you that the longest wait my son and I had was Maverick at 1:hr and 45 mins. M-Force was 1 hr and 30 mins…TTD was 1 hour but I rode it at 8PM….it seemed longer during the day. I think the others were less than an hour. I rode Magnum first and had a 5 min wait when the park opened…then went to Mean Streak with a 15 min wait…then hit Maverick at 1hr 45min…then M-Force at 1 hr 30 mins….then Raptor at about 50 mins….then Mantis at about 45 mins…..then Gemini at 15 mins….then TTD at 1 hr and Wicked twister at about 15mins. I was in line about 8:30 or 8:45 when I rode Wicked Twister. I thought 2008 was a nice year…we went to six parks (Busch, King's Island, King's Dominion, Carowinds, Six Flags Georgia, and Cedar Point). Busch and Cedar were by far the two best parks when you throw in all aspects of an amusement trip.

2008 was my favorite year for coasters ever. I only had 7 coasters under my belt, I went on 14 new ones, including Kumba, Montu, Superman ROS, El Toro, and Kingda Ka. 2009 will mark my first trip to Cedar Point, so +17!!! It also marked my first ride on Boulder Dash since it was retracked.And CoasterCritic, I was wondering, what is a good order to go on roller coasters at cedar point, as I am staying in one of their hotels, so I get in an hour early. I was thinking Maverick, TTD, then Millenium Force.
