Thrill or chill?

Review: Roller Coasters Of Cedar Point
unknown

Cedar Point is the coaster capital of the world. There are roller coasters of all thrill levels for every kind of rider. From the gentle coaster goer to the maximum thrill seeker, Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, has it all. There are to many roller coasters to write about, but here are some of my personal favorites, and the ones that need to be read about.

Iron Dragon

Iron Dragon has been my favorite coaster since I was 6 or 7 years old. The coaster takes you through trees and over a pond. The track is above you, and the cars have decent leg room. The coaster has two hills and lots of twists and turns.

Thrill level: 4

Maverick

Maverick gives riders the feel of riding a bucking horse at quick speeds. You go from 0-60 in a matter of seconds. There are several inversions, twists, turns and hills. Maverick will come to an almost complete stop in a tunnel then shoot you out of the tunnel at a speed of over 60 miles and hour. Be prepared to get tossed around.

Thrill level: 8

Gatekeeper

The first and currently the only winged coaster at Cedar Point. It was built three years ago, but riders still line up for it. After the hill, you are are flipped around while you descend and go immediately into a loop. There are several loops, inversions and flips. The smooth coaster gives you the most incredible feeling of flying.

Thrill level: 6

Millennium Force

Millennium Force is the number one steel roller coaster in the world. It is one of the most unique experiences you will ever have on a coaster. You drop 300 feet at speeds of 93 miles an hour. I did the drop with my eyes closed with the intention of opening them at the bottom of the hill. The g-forces on this ride are so great that your cheeks will be pulled back, you are suctioned to the back of your seat, and are unable to open your eyes. When I first boarded the train I thought, "How is a seatbelt and a lap bar going to keep me in the seat?" The answer is the G-forces. This is a ride unlike any other you will ever experience.

Thrill level: 10

Blue Streak

There is nothing better than riding a timeless wooden coaster, and in my opinion, Blue Streak is the coaster to go with. Going 60 miles an hour over many hills and several turns, Blue Streak gives riders a lot of air time (that weightlessness feeling when you go down a hill). Being a wooden coaster, be prepared to get jerked around and experience a lot of bumps.

Thrill level: 3

If you are a thrill seeker and love roller coasters, then Cedar Point is the amusement park to go and ride all day long.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
