It toke us about an hour and a half to drive to sandusky, got there checked into our hotel freshened up and then we were off to the park!


We made it!



Got our season passes processed and we were off to ride this ride. Top Thrill Dragster! We got and line and while we were in the station waiting they had a rollback!! Rollback means it goes to the top of the tower and doesnt make it over so it comes back to position one which is near the station. Waited about 15 mins to restart and launch and they made it over and then 5 mins later it was our turn and i was freaked! but it was a blast!

Manatees. I was really excited to see them but i was kinda disappointed only cause u couldnt really see em since the water was pretty murky. but thats what its like in nature :) And all the manatees were rescued and when they are up to par they are released back in the wild. I love there conservation efforts.



these guys were the funniest birds ive ever seen haha



Okapi :)

This cute thing was 4 months old. Her mother basically disowned her which happens alot, they adopted her and she has to be held 24/7 so the vets all take turns what i wouldnt give to have been able to hold her. she also gets to pick which gorilla family she wants to go to the columbus zoo has 2 gorilla families


Lorikeets: this guy was feeding em nector



you get to walk through the kangaroo exhibit it was pretty awesome.



you go under and can watch the polar bears swim and in the water they have fish so if there hungry they can just go get it :)

waiting in line





they had fireworks every night and yes they were pretty short and lame



Blueberry soft serve. SOOOO GOOD i could go for some right now


Kings Island Fountains at night

Day 8: Fly home



welcome to Chicago Hopkins airport. So origanaly we had an hour and a half layover well guess what it was more like a 2 and a half hour layover, Pres. Obama decide to go golfing in chicago so no planes could be in the air so all flights were delayed it wasnt that bad at all.

It looked awesome only i couldnt get a better pic im pretty bummed about that. On the flight home we had to divert a little to miss a storm. You could look out the window and watch the lightening and man it was so incedible to watch!

So all in all it was a great trip and i ended not being able to ride 4 roller coasters at cedar point, Raptor, Wicked Twister, Millennium force, Mantis. Due to the seatbelts werent long enough sid thinks and is pretty sure that they cut the seatbelts 5 iches shorter. i cried when i got denied raptor but its life, and after waiting for drop tower for a half hour that too i couldnt ride. I also had to wear my ankle brace the whole time except for when i was in the room and sleeping haha. stupid ankle, we had to go by me even a ice bag to ice it. I missed Cedar Point and i was soo glad to finally go to Kings Island. and waldermeer well it was pretty cool although the entertainment was the worst ive ever heard in my life. on my next post it will have my trip to my cabin with aaron and sid and stuff thats been going on this last month. hope u enjoyed my HUGE post pretty sure it was the longest ive done.
