Just wrapped up a week of vacation ... Cedar Point was our big family fun event this time 'round. Those of you following my Twitter have already seen this picture, but it's just too fun not to share with everyone else :-)
Jacob (10yrs) and I were determined that no matter what we had to ride the Top Thrill Dragster ... 0-120mph in 4s ... 420ft straight up then back down ... here's a youtube video that gives you an idea of what it's like.
So our last day at the park we stood in line and waited for front row seats ... yup, if you're gonna wait might as well go all out! The ride was amazing! I love acceleration and this did not disappoint!
Jacob said he was a bit freaked out on the way up to the apex, but he gave the ride an 'awesome' rating. When we viewed the picture they took of us doing ~120mph I immediately knew we'd have to buy it ... and I'm a bit of a tight wad. So we plunked down $12 for this photo that will serve as a great laugh and a great reminder of our summer 08 vacation.
I could feel the adrenaline just watching the Youtube clip!

he he - I have a similar photo of me with my 10yr old from 8yrs back. He declared Europe's largets wooden rollercoaster as 'awesome' and that he wasn't one bit afraid.
The picture said otherwise.
