    For rides at Adventureland, all their coasters suck but I would say that the Space Shot is a favorite for me.

    Can't wait to get on Maverick and Millenium Force in a few days......if you're a fan of roller coasters and you don't visit Cedar Point at least once, you're doing yourself a huge disservice.

    I loved the galleon and falling star as did my 5 year old. We enjoyed the Outlaw, Tornado and Dragon quite a bit as well. The Sidewinder was great the first couple times but then it started to make me kind of sick. The Space Shot is pretty fun as well.
    This. My 4 year old son and I went so many times last year I lost track. So far we have gone twice, and it isn't even open during the week yet. It isn't a perfect park, but it is still fun. The outlaw is one of my favorites. And the water park is pretty darn good.

    G-Force and the Tilt-A-Whirl. They jerk your body and spin you...hard not to laugh when riding these.

    BTW the Der Flinger is the sketchest ride in the park. Won't ever go on it because the damn thing feels like it's about to fall apart. The top of the things need oiled.

    Do they still have that lemon ice stand close by to the silly silo? Those things were so damn tasty.

    Nope, it's been gone for around 8 years now. The Inverter took it's place. Someone also mentioned the Mixer earlier in the thread, but that has been gone for at least 5 years now.

    My kids like the frog.
    Although I dont consider myself a redneck, we also have season passes and go quite a bit. The waterpark is fun.
