oprah gets in kalamazoo: our trip to cedar point

i love roller coasters. love them. much love is in my heart for them. i dream about them. i think about them. i ride them and i get nervous about them. i love them.

from the time i was small till i was 21 (a mere year ago), i have been scared of rides. i can mentally convince myself to go on them, but if they are high and scary-looking, i spend too much time being scared to enjoy them. upside down rides were a definite no-no.

however, one of my favorite people loves rides and so this person, let's call him "tim," pressured me into going on rides at the red river ex. it took a lot of convincing but by the end i was enjoying myself and laughing. and then we all went on a road trip! so began the transformation of marcia's opinion on rides and roller coasters.

we went to cedar point amusement park in ohio...and it was the best ever. i'll stop talking about it and just show you. seriously. i miss this place.

my first roller coaster ever! oldest at the park - woody and creaky and fun!the ride i still dream about going on...
and that we waited in line for twice - and were told twice that it was down :(
my most favorite ride in the world... the raptor!!!!!!

and last but not least, the tallest roller coaster in the world!!! and i went on it :)

I know what you mean about Cedar Point!! We had the most awesome family vacation there about 4 years ago. We stayed in a cabin in the park.

Loving roller coasters is a little bit like loving God.
He is good, but dangerous. He is scary, but fun. Draw near to him and he will turn you upside down, shake you, and then make sure you land with both feet on the ground. He often goes up hill slower than we would like, and comes down faster than we think is safe. The ride is not without cost. To get the full effect, costs everything.
