Halloweekends have started at Cedar Point. This is easily my favorite time of year to visit the park. CP is kind of like my summer place, and not just because of GTTP. It's where my friends often hang.
There's something about the leaves changing colors, the jacket weather, girls in flanels (which is somehow almost as hot as bare midriffs) and the now-traditional closing weekend stay at the park. Now that the season is a couple weeks longer, closing weekend also falls on our anniversary.
Last weekend was the first one, and it rained like hell. I was able to sneak in a ride on Raptor just before I left, but the weather was miserable. I did get to see the extent of the construction, however, for the new rocket coaster they're building next year. Pretty huge area.
So tonight we go back to get more of that atmosphere. We've only missed two or three Friday's in the last few years, all due to weather. This year we're determined to get all six weeks, and enjoy our fill of fog-filled midways and the smell of nuts.
These are the good times that make it a little easier to take the bad.
