2005-05-21: Cedar Point (Cat's Disposable Camera)

The sun sets beautifully (well, it does have lots of practice)	Cable cars at dusk	Cat and Dan are cool as all hell in their sunglasses	Jesus. (1c)
Dan and Bryan wait patiently to be slung to unhealthy speeds	Cat and Bryan in line for the Raptor

It's kind of painful to cram three people into one of those photo booths (3c)

That doesn't look healthy (1c)

2005-05-22: Cedar Point (Cat's Camera)

I know you're up there somewhere	Dan and Bryan prepare for a centrifugal assault on the senses	The convoluted intricacy of entertainment	Dude, you missed
Gemini again	Pretty foliage		Gemini
Top Thrill Dragster (man I'm getting tired of typing that kind of stupid name)	Aww	Ping pong kick!	The maXair stands towering over the pathetic peasantry
Dan and Bryan show off their new matching sweatshirts	Contemplative Dan ponders the inherent masochism of a place such as this	Riders return	And Dan's head is actually twice as big as the Top Thrill Dragster's crest. Weird, no? (5c)
Perspective is weird. The Top Thrill Dragster's crest (420') is actually nearly twice as tall as the Power Tower (240').	Dan and Bryan purchase food	Corkscrew and Power Tower
The rides await	Bryan and Dan have just rented a locker	Bryan and Dan rent a locker	Demon Drop

2005-05-22: Cedar Point w/Cat & Bryan

Cleaning up after the waste of the world like Langoliers	More Millenium Force (shot by Bryan)	Millenium Force at sunset	More convolution
		Cat's beloved skeletons	Wooden coasters are so much more intricately built than the newer metal ones
What appeared to be a real steam-powered train. Riding it made me nostalgic for an era I never lived through	The Mean Streak at sunset	Duck? Duck? Goose?	Gemini, a fun wooden twin rollercoaster
The venerable Magnum XL-200	Another shot of the Top Thrill Dragster	The Cedar Point twins	High shutter speed captures great expressions at 4 G's
The Top Thrill Dragster in all its 420’ glory	Cresting the top of the Top Thrill Dragster (1c)	I make Bryan and Cat pose for a pretty picture	Cat looks like she didn't really enjoy it towards the end
Hello Cat and Bryan	Cat and Bryan ride the maXair	Convoluted pipework	I should build one of these. It's basically just an engine bolted to a set of wheels
And a 1950 Chevy	A 1923 Ford	A test run on the Corkscrew	You have to have lots of faith in Cedar Point's engineers
Think of the kinetic energy that is stored up in that. And the size of the soccer ball it could kick	The maXair is enormous	The Twister	A drab sky behind the ferris wheel
The newest attraction, the maXair

2005-05-21: Cedar Point w/Cat & Bryan

Ahh, finally, my months-long craving for Guinness on tap is satisfied	It's hard to judge photo brightness on a laptop screen	We'll be back, Cedar Point. You'd better be ready.	Exhausted but only partially sated, we are forced to withdraw after 12 hours of joy to allow Cedar Point a reprieve to recover from our assaults
Cat and Bryan and the Stewie that Bryan romantically won for her (and she then gave to me)	Bryan enjoys a high quality amusement park meal	Caw.	Descent
We wait in the short line for the Raptor	Staying at a Cedar Point hotel = get to go in before everyone else	The implements of terrorization stand menacingly as we approach
