Made with Love

Roller Coaster from a GoPro

That was at Cedar Point.

I am a huge coaster fan and Cedar Point is the place you want to be for coasters in the US.

I however love the big wooden ones. Not a fan of the steel ones much at all. Not to say I have never been on a great steel coast but they lack the charm and thrill of the wood coasters.

I guess it all goes back to Comet at Crystal Beach.
Growing up and riding the Little Giant, there. The Comet became my Everest of coasters.
I conquered it as a pre-teen as did most of my local generation.

Years later the park closed and the rides sold off.
The Comet was moved to Great Adventures in Lake George, NY.

When my Baby was 12 or so we spent a week in Lake Placid and took the hour or so to go to Great Adventures.

I had the opportunity to introduce her to my Everest.
Talking with the ride operators we were allowed to ride this old gal 13 times in a row.
Front car. Back car and Middle cars.
Baby Girl discovered the thrilling joys in riding in the first car.

Check out the video below and see for yourself.
