For all thrill-seekers.

A Definitive Ranking Of Rollercoasters At Cedar Point
WowK

Cedar Point is an amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio. Home to 17 rollercoasters and one waterpark off the coast of Lake Erie, this is a go-to place during the summer. Cedar Point holds many records for their rollercoasters and is most likely on the bucket list of many rollercoaster fanatics. I have ridden every coaster in the park, so here is my personal ranking of the rides from worst to best. (I will be ranking 14 roller coasters, since three of the 17 are rides for children.) Head to Cedar Point this summer and experience the thrill of these rollercoasters!

14. The Blue Streak

The Blue Streak is one of the oldest roller coasters at Cedar Point. It's one of the last wooden coasters in the park. This ride hurts. It's super rough and not kind to your body. It does normally have a short wait, so I recommend riding front row if you do decide to ride.

13. Corkscrew

This one is a classic, but extremely short. Not much of a thrill.

12. Cedar Creek Mine Ride

There's always a mine ride at every amusement park. This one is very ragged and slow. You think there's going to be a huge drop, but it never comes.

11. Wicked Twister

I'm sorry, but this ride scares the crap out of me. I always feel like I'm going to die while riding it. It definitely gives you an adrenaline rush from the speech and back-and-forth of the ride. Definitely one for thrills.

10. Iron Dragon

This is a good rollercoaster to ride after you just ate. It has some decent speed, but no insane drops or turns. Also, this is a good coaster for first timers.

9. Rougarou

Expect a headache when you're done riding this one. I personally liked it better as the Mantis, but this is overall very fun and thrilling. It's packed with high speeds, loops, drops, and tight turns and twists.

8. Magnum XL-200

I really like this one, but the safety bar always crushes my thighs, making it a little uncomfortable. If you like multiple hills in a row and the feeling of losing your stomach, this is the perfect coaster for you.

7. Maverick

This rough coaster, in particular, takes you left, right, up, down and upside-down in a matter of seconds. The line for this ride is always long and I don't think it's worth the wait. You should definitely ride this at least once though.

6. Valravn

The best part of this new roller coaster is the first drop. You are suspended at the top of the hill, looking down at the bottom for a few seconds before you go down the hill. This is a very thrilling, smooth ride.

5. Gemini

This is one of my favorites. Another wooden roller coaster, but less rough than the Blue Streak. This ride is quite fast with lots of drops and turns. The best part is there are two tracks for different colors of carts: blue and red. They race beside each other all the way to the end of the track. This one is pretty fun!

4. Top Thrill Dragster

If you love thrills and high speed, this coaster is for you. You basically go straight up and straight down. Always a long wait, but kind of worth it.

3. Gatekeeper

This ride feels like you're flying. I absolutely love it. It's newer and the ride takes you over the front gates, hence the name. It has high speeds and lots of loops.

2. Raptor

This is definitely one of my favorite rides. It's one of the most fun rides there and I could ride it all day and never get bored of it. If you love speed, loops, and twists, this ride is perfect.

1. Millennium Force

This ride is by far the most popular ride at Cedar Point. It's such a smooth ride with two huge hills. You hit top speed while riding this, but it's still such a gentle ride. I recommend this ride to anyone, even if you're scare of roller coasters. It's not as scary as it looks.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
