I'm from Michigan, and my family has been going to Cedar Point since I was a kid.  It's an awesome amusement park! I mean, really awesome.  The Millenium Force is a fantastic rollercoaster...the best I've ridden!  Also, there's something really sweet about going 120mph on Top-thrill Dragster!

For the last several years, we have also been going with my nieces who are now 9 and 7.  There is a kiddie land (Snoopie Land or something like that) and some smaller coasters appropriate for kids (Mine Ride, Iron Dragon, Blue Streak, maybe Gemini...) though the majority of the coasters are thrill rides.  The also have parent swap- you get a form at guest services. One parent waits in line for a ride while the other parent can be off riding kiddie rides with the kids.  After the first parent finishes the ride, they leave the slip with the staff of the ride.  The second parent can walk up the exit ramp, give their name/ retrieve the slip and get right on the ride.  It's nice because then both parents can ride and the kids don't have to wait in line.

I have been thinking about doing this race in 2011 but I will just have to see how my race season pans out.  Please let me know how you like the race if you decide to compete.

As others have said Cedar Point is an awesome amusement park. If you love coasters it is hard to beat it. As far as REV3 goes they are new and of course this will be the first year for this event so I guess there could be 1st year problems. Everything I have read about their events so far have been positive. I have signed up for the HIM at CP so I guess that tells you what I think! The race isn't Labor Day weekend though, it is the weekend after Labor Day (9/12/10).

Don't know anything about REV3, but Cedar Point is awesome. My family loves amusement parks and we had heard so much about Cedar Point that we scheduled a vacation there a couple of years ago. I'm doing IMFL next year, but at some point may consider the IM here.

CRUD you're right! dang it think that kills it for me. GRRRRRR
