I'm up for it.....

Cedar Point is like a three- four hour drive for my team. Most of the people from my team go there during the summer anyway. I personally have a season pass to Six Flags Worlds of Adventure in Cleveland, Ohio. I can say though our Six flags has more game on Houston's Astro World. Let me know when and where you wanna meet and I'll try to get as many Team #48ers as possible to join me!!

You'd have to fly to Cleveland and then drive the hour or so to Sandusky.

Hotel rooms in Sandusky are pretty cheap, usually. I spent two nights there in 2001.

You don't want to go to Cedar Point on a weekend.

lodging

I went a few years ago and stayed at a place the rented cabins about 10-15min form the park and I think they were reasonably priced and fit 6 to 8 people.

I agree, weekdays would be better (it wouldn't be worth going at all if we had to wait in lines all day, I want ROLLERCOASTERS!)

what I'd do is fly into Clevelend the day before, right after work (Bradley airport is right across the street... literally), then hopefully be able to crash on one of my friend's couches for the night :

http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...threadid=20511

then I'd probably overnight a flight back or something like that... I'm very accostomed to bootleg traveling, I do it nearly every weekend, haha

I have to figure out why you can afford to fly from Bradley Int'l to Cleveland, but I have to drive 8.5 hours to get to Sandusky. Maybe it'd be cheaper to drive to Hartford

That is a good question... how can I afford to fly to Cleveland?

Well now that I have looked on expedia for flight times and rates... here's what I suggest, I think I should only be making one trip to the midwest this year (I'm not that rich... tho I wish I was)

my thought is:

Lets make the Cedar point trip the wednesday before IRI!!

OK, lets see how this idea flies...

I like your thinking Jeff. Cedar Point is a great idea and we would get to see all of our buddys that we miss so dearly.

Well I live only an hour south of Sandusky, in beautiful Columbus. Here are a few tips should we actually pull this off:
Traveler's tips:

-Keep shoes at all times: All of cedar point is on pavement or wood, both of which heat exceptionally well. There are some sweet water rides, so its good to have your shoes when you get off before you kill half the nerves in your feet.

-Get a bunch of songs stuck in your head, or go with a friend to fathom the suicidally long ride waits (worth it).

-We should all go as a group and have this an actual FIRST event, so we can have the park cleared out for our express use. If we can't, we break in. There aren't enough cops in the area to get us all.

-Bring own food: The food there is rediculously overpriced, especially ice cream and drinks. They expect you to be swealtering, so plan ahead.

-On the stand-up coasters, don't be surprised if your head keeps hitting the shoulder harness.

-Crisco makes an awesome sunscreen. When you hear the sizzle, seek shade.

-Don't look for the local color, many of us are very pale.

Thanks for reading the preceding rantings, please continue to plan.

So I'm serious... would Wednesday July 16th be a good day to do Cedar Point?

It would be 2 days before IRI, so local teams wouldn't have a problem with travelling too much cuz they have that day between them, but people from far away could roll over the two trips (Cedar Point and IRI) into one and almost make it a reincarnation of Nationals!

And, it would be wednesday instead of tuesday so people like me could miss less work... lol (should be about same park population, line waits)

Well, if I go to IRI, it'll be rolled into a midwest coaster-a-thon that stops at Kings Island, Holidayworld, Indiana Beach and, possibly, Great America. If that's the day everyone goes to Cedar Point, I can definitely add it to my rotation.

Well... looks like if its a big FIRSTer thing or not, I'll be going to Cedar Point with jmort03 on that wedneday anyway (july 16)

Flying into cleveland is WAYYYYYYY cheaper (and less time) than flying into columbus or indiannapolis from hartford, so i have to figure that out

let the booking begin!

Are you guys already starting setup the 16th? If so, it's probably a date we should avoid. I'd rather not exclude the IRI crew, if you guys are interested in coming.
