The nickel of DEATH!!!!

Back in December we were searching You Tube for interesting videos at Mary's brother's house and we found this video:

Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point Ohio that goes from 0 to 190km/h in less than 4 seconds sending you vertically 420 feet. We knew we had to go and ride this machine so wemade plans for 3rd week in August to go.

We drove to Windsor Ontario on Friday night after work and stayed for the night. Getting up early on Saturday we drove the remaining distance to Ohio to get to the park for after 10am. Waiting in line for 2 1/2 hours we were able to experience the 16 second ride on this awesome roller coaster.

Next we went to Millenium Force but being good metal detecters found a dime and penny on the asphalt.

While on the ride entering the tunnel for a second time, I noticed a shiny silver disc fly our the head of the passenger in front of Mary. I was going to point it out to her but the thunder tunnel was too loud to speak. After the ride, Mary picked a nickel out of our car that came lose during the ride narrowly missing the heads of the riders on the coaster.

To sum-up:
- We drove over 12 hours (there and back)
- Waited over 8 hours in line
- only was able to ride 5 roller coasters
- found less than 20cents

But it was all worth it
