The plan is to meet at the McDonalds (2102 River Avenue) right outside of Cedar Point at 9 am. Leave at 9:30 am for Cedar Point Gates that open at 10 am. Midday lunch (2-ish) outside of the park so we can get a cruise in and then back to the park for the rest of the day. Park closes at 11 pm. There is a broad range of hotels (check www.sandusky.com (http://www.sandusky.com)) to choose from. However, if you are picky you want to reserve a room way ahead of time as Cedar Point is a popular Vacation Destination.
Ok. For those of you that have never been to Cedar Point here are a few tips to making the most out of your trip.
1. Wear comfortable shoes. You will be walking alot.
2. Wear comfortable clothes.
3. If you plan on riding any water rides be sure to have a change of clothes handy in your car.
4. Bring a fanny pack / hip pack. You will want it to put your keys, money, glasses (yes, you don't want these flying off on a coaster), etc.
5. Bring sunglasses and sunblock.
6. If you get motion sick or queezy stomach be sure to bring Dramamine.
7. Disposable cameras are best. You don't want to lose or bang your exspensive camera on rides.
8. Have cash. While ATM's are available you will be charged a fee.
9. Be ready to have some fun!!!

HillsdaleHHR 03-01-2007, 05:53 PM Here's the thought: The park opens at 10 am. All attendees meet at the McDonalds right outside of the park at 9 am. At 10 am we ride in. Maybe have a mid day lunch outside the park so we can get a cruise in and then head back to the park for the rest of the day.
Desert Coyote 03-01-2007, 05:56 PM Dang ... I would love to come to this, but I don't think my wife will allow us *two* Cedar Point trips in a year (we already have plans for early July and a hotel).
Have fun, though. :thumb:

HillsdaleHHR 03-02-2007, 02:37 AM Plan on coming but need a place to stay? Check this website: www.sandusky.com.
HillsdaleHHR 03-02-2007, 03:08 AM Just a reminder: If we have 15 people attending we can get a group rate on Cedar Point tickets at $31/person. That is a savings of $10.95/person. Tickets would have to be purchased in advance so I would need to collect all money by May 19 in order to get these tickets ordered in time! If we don't have 15 people attending and anyone still wants discounted tickets I can get them at Meijer Stores for $7 off. I would just need the money by June 2 in order to pick up the tickets in time. Otherwise, tickets at gate will be the standard price of $41.95.
Just checked and here's some other discounts: AAA insurance offers its members discounted tickect prices ($7 off). Tickets must be purchased at AAA office. Active or retired Military personnel and immediate (Spouse, children, parents, grandparents, grandchildren) family members can receive discounted tickets ($31/person at gate). Valid military I.D. required.
JonyyB 03-02-2007, 10:41 AM Oh that sucks. I will be moving at the beginning of June and have to get ready for the wedding June 16th. I'm thinking this is a no go for me
HillsdaleHHR 03-02-2007, 01:50 PM Sorry to hear JonyyB. We would have loved to have you!

ChevyGrlAlways 03-18-2007, 07:03 PM lol
HillsdaleHHR 03-19-2007, 09:27 AM Starting to get some ideas on Lunch locations now for our mid-day cruise out of the park. Here are some that I have come up with.
TGIF's (somewhat of a Retro feel) Close in location (maybe too close for a cruise) to Cedar Point and is waterfront.
Damon's Also close in location to Cedar Point and waterfront. Said to have a killer view of the bay and of Cedar Point. Location allows more of a cruise.
Shifter's Bar & Grill (Attached to Harley Davidson Store/Dealer) Not as close in location and is more like a grill- sandwiches only.
Let me know what you guys think!!
geekdad 03-19-2007, 09:43 AM Sounds good to me.... I think Fridays or Damons. That is if a tentative can give his input ;)
HillsdaleHHR 03-19-2007, 09:43 AM Sure can :thumb: My choice would be Damon's. Looks like they have a killer view of the bay and of Cedar Point.
Damon's site: http://www.damons.com/
TFIFridays site: http://www.tgifridays.com/main_flash.html
Shifter's Bar & Grill: http://www.roederharley.com/page13.html
HillsdaleHHR 03-19-2007, 12:02 PM Here is a map with some markings as to locations of stuff. The red star is Perkins Car Wash at 2011 East Perkins Ave. The red X is McDonalds at 2102 River Ave (the meet location in the morning) and the red ! is the entrance to Cedar Point! The red check mark is TGIFridays and the red diamond is Damon's.

HillsdaleHHR 03-19-2007, 04:19 PM -md-HHR pm'd his vote to be TGIFriday's!
So Far:
TGIFridays: 1 vote
Damon's: 1 vote
geekdads vote balances out since he said either ;)
Flyboy6257 03-19-2007, 04:56 PM Hello everyone. I just got my schedule and unfortunately I am working that day and will not be able to make it. We bid our schedules for 3 months at a time and got stuck working that day. Hope everyone has fun and I'll be lloking foward to be seenig for pics.

ChevyGrlAlways 03-19-2007, 06:02 PM well seeing how i dont know the other dining choice only know fridays you guys pick i'm up for almost anything
geekdad 03-19-2007, 06:09 PM Trouble in paradise..... there is some debate as to when the last school day is here and the lastest rumor is on June 9th (because of the snow days). More news as the situation develops...
HillsdaleHHR 03-19-2007, 06:11 PM Ruh Roh. Last day of School on Saturday?!?! That would stink!!!
sjssk 03-19-2007, 06:26 PM June is my busiest month at work. If this was at the end of July or August I would so be there. We just got back yesterday from Castaway Bay waterpark at Cedar Point. It was the first road trip for the 07 white HHR and everything went good. We really liked the gas mileage we got. Way better than our MPV.
chadpuska 03-19-2007, 06:45 PM Iam a definate maybe for sure, that sounds like a blast. plus it will get me away from cincinnati.
HillsdaleHHR 03-19-2007, 06:46 PM :thumb: :thumb: Any thoughts on midday lunch/cruise choice? See back a couple posts for suggestions.

You can track this event on ohiohhrs.org too. We have a few Dayton area members and we may be planning something around here in addition to the Cedar Point Meet.
HillsdaleHHR 03-26-2007, 07:51 PM Just saw some footage of the new rollercoaster "The Maverick" on the news and it looks pretty cool!!!
HillsdaleHHR 03-31-2007, 09:45 AM Was in the grocery store yesterday and noticed some salt water taffy. MMMMM can't wait to get some REAL GOOD salt water taffy from Cedar Point. :thumb:
ChevyGrlAlways 04-01-2007, 09:41 AM but real salt water taffy is from the jersey shore????? want me to bring you some?

And all the HHR's can be best Cars?
No really I think that is great if she will go along with it.
What a way to start your lives together.
SindyDix 04-10-2007, 09:44 PM I am an Ordained Minister at at The Universal Life Church in Modesto CA, online. http://www.ulc.net/
I haven't 'performed' any services though.
This is wonderful news. An HHR wedding... what a first. I bet if Dayton promotes it, you'll even get some press and sponsorships!
Applenut 04-10-2007, 10:19 PM I am an Ordained Minister at at The Universal Life Church in Modesto CA, online. http://www.ulc.net/

She'll go along with it...it was her idea! Since a couple of people are ordained, are any of you guys going?
HillsdaleHHR 04-10-2007, 10:26 PM Sindy is in California. Applenut does not have his credentials. I'll find you someone though!!

-md- HHR 04-16-2007, 07:50 AM I'm still 50-50.
HillsdaleHHR 04-16-2007, 02:31 PM For those thinking of staying the night Saturday, I received a list of 45 hotels in the Sandusky area. Let me know if you need some ideas for a place to stay.
HillsdaleHHR 04-16-2007, 05:11 PM Just received the Cedar Point Flyer in the mail:
Cedar Point
With 69 rides, including 17 world-class roller coasters, four children's areas, a gigantic waterpark (Soak City), three resort hotels, a year-round indoor waterpark resort, a luxury RV campground with cottages and cabins, two marinas, an entertainment complex (Challenge Park), award winning live entertainment, gift shops, restaurants and more, it's easy to see why Cedar Point amusement park/resort in Sandusky, Ohio, has been voted the "Best Amusement Park in the World" for a record nine consecutive years! This popular family vacation destination will take guests to new frontiers of fun with the debut of its latest scream machine, Maverick.
Located in Frontiertown, Maverick is a ride like no other. Maverick transports its passengers up and over a 105 foot tall lift hill and back down to Earth at an astonishing 95 degree angle at speeds of up to 57 mph! From there, the train hugs the terrain as it twists and banks around hair pin turns with quick but smooth changes in direction. Throughout the 2 min. 30 sec. ride, passengers experience 8 "airtime filled hills," 3 inversions and a second launch through a 400 foot long dark tunnel that leaves them in awe as they reach speeds of 70 mph!
Fun for kids abounds at Cedar Point. Camp Snoopy rolls out the red carpet with seven rides, including a rousing 38 foot tall roller coaster; plus the world famous PEANUTS characters generate endless grins with their appearances. Screams of delight can be heard in Gemini Children's Area, adjacent to Camp Snoopy, on rides such as Frog Hopper and Jr. Gemini, while Kiddy Kingdom and PEANUTS Playground give plenty of pint sized fun with dozens of rides and play equipment.
Families give rave reviews to the award winning live entertainment at Cedar Point. From toe-tapping musicals to shows just for kids and a special ice skating show, these productions are a definite "must see."
What is scarier than the thought of racing 420 feet into the sky at speeds in excess of 120 mph on Cedar Point's Top Thrill Dragster?
HillsdaleHHR 04-16-2007, 05:13 PM Top Thrill Dragster is not for the weak at heart!!! Been there done that :D
HillsdaleHHR 04-16-2007, 06:19 PM Just received goodie bags from Summit Racing :thumb: :thumb:
HillsdaleHHR 04-16-2007, 06:21 PM Damon's Restaruant has offered us all Temporary Platinum Business Partner Cards which will allow for a 10% discount from each Entree :thumb: :thumb:

chadpuska 06-02-2007, 12:01 AM Jus looked at the 10 day forecast for sandusky on the 9th syas showers hopefully that changes:(
HillsdaleHHR 06-02-2007, 05:27 AM 1 week to go. I never listen to 10 day or even 7 day forecasts. Give me a 2 day and then maybe. Think positive :thumb: :thumb: Small showers aren't bad for Cedar Point really. It actually helps you get on rides faster too and you are already wet for the water rides ;)
