The 5 Most Underrated Rides at Cedar Point

Cedar Point, like any theme park, has it's famous attractions. Top Thrill Dragster. Millennium Force. These are synonymous with Cedar Point. But what about all of the other rides at Cedar Point? Which ones are worth riding? Well, continue reading, my friends, and you shall see!

1. Magnum XL-200. This may be my all time favorite ride at Cedar Point. Don't freak out. Although the ride is decades old, it most definitely does not disappoint. It has a hill that rivals Millennium, and it does not lose speed the entire ride. There are multiple large drops and the ride is actually really long. One of the best parts of the ride is the tunnels you go through. They are completely dark and you have no idea what turn you're about to take.

2. Gemini. Yes, wooden coasters can be fun! I promise! Sometimes more fun, actually. The new steel rides may be faster or smoother, but the wooden rides offer a jostling and rickety ride you can't experience anywhere else. The click-click-click of the chain as you ascend the wooden monstrosity of a hill beneath you seems to have so much suspense than the clean ride of the new coasters. Gemini is a long ride, with many twists, turns, hills and most definitely deserves a ride.

3. Power Tower. Yes, this is not a roller coaster...yeah whatever. Granted, I only rode this ride because the wait was literally 5 minutes, but still. The terror and excitement this ride caused me was more than some of the coasters caused. The adrenaline of being at the top, taking in the entire view of the park, but knowing you are seconds away from plunging to the ground is exhilarating. Sidenote: this ride is infinitely better at night.

4. Raptor. A classic steel coaster, this one delivers everything it promises. With a wait time of approximately half to one-third of the newer coasters, this ride gives an equal, if not better experience. A ridiculous amount of loops and turns are enough to satisfy any thrill seeker.

5. Wicked Twister. Wow, I love this ride. Seriously I don't think anyone gives this ride the time of day and it upsets me because it is the greatest. This is the one with the two sides that curl upwards towards the sky and you ride up and then backward? Sound familiar? Well you should actually ride it, and definitely wait to sit in either the very front or bacl, trust me. I've been on Top Thrill, and I still love this ride.

Well, I hope I was able to help expand your Cedar Point knowledge. Next time you go, I hope you will give one of these guys a try. I promise you won't be disappointed.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
