Cedar Point Trip '06

Me and my friends Megan, Holly and Roy planned a trip to Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio in July 2006.

Hanging out in the Orlando airport is so much fun!


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
See ya later Orlando airpot!

I'm pretty sure that thing on the right is the sun and that long metal thing in the middle is a long metal thing.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
The sun and the big metal thing have joined forces!


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Freakin' sweet.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I couldn't tell what state we were flying over, but whatever it was everyone was gettin' baked down there.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I had to stop in St. Louis first before getting to Chicago to meet up with friends.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Here's what I look like when I talk to Holly on the phone while sitting around in St. Louis.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I had this feeling I was being "watched from above" when I made it to Chicago. Then I realized it was just Roy, Megan and Holly who were just doing their usual stalking.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I just finished telling Megan how I saw the sun and a big metal thing join forces a few hours ago.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Roy and Holly are not impressed.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Megan tries to teach Holly how to be cool but she ain't gettin' it right.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
The first group shot of the weekend!


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
The first girly shot of the weekend!


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
It's been a while since we've used Chicago public transportation.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Roy and Holly love it to death.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We made it to our friend Lauren's house where we were spending the night...I also look huge.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I grew too much to fit into this picture.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Holly and Megan checked out the balcony for a while.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Roy and I came in on the scene hoping we could throw someone over.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Thankfully a couch broke Megan's fall 'cause it would have been a shame if that wooden floor got all scratched up.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I brought my computer along so I can store all of the ridiculous pictures from my camera such as this one.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
"The party is just gettin' started guys!"


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
It took five minutes for Roy to trash the place and then pass out.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Roy eventually woke up and kept hogging our only bowl.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I have never seen Megan so high before...and I've seen her HIGH!


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I've also never seen Holly look like such a mom...and I've seen her look like a MOM!


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
It looks like Roy decided to join in with Megan.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Who needs to go to Cedar Point when we can do crap like this all night long.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Megan realized how late it was and said, "oh crap, Brian we need to get some zzzzz's."


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Then I exclaimed, "okay gang let's catch those zzzzz's!"


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
After getting very few hours of zzzzz's we needed to finally get the rental car to drive to Ohio. The side effects from all that weed made Megan want to do nothing but fight and Roy couldn't stop staring at the ground.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Holly hasn't been in many of the pictures lately, so I took this one of her before she almost got hit by an automobile.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Here I am at one of my old college buildings and I couldn't be more excited to see it again.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Tra la laaaaaa.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Ain't nothing sexier than lil' Megan whisper sweet nothings into a witches' ear.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We met up with our old friend Sarah for a little while.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Hangin' at Columiba...it's what we do.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
My friend Christine picked us all up and was nice enough to give us a ride to the airport so we can get the rental car.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
FINALLY! It's time to blow this popsicle stand and head out to that party state known as Ohio.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Roy was all about going to party states.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
But first we must go over this rockin' part bridge.But first we must go over this rockin' part bridge.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
At this point I knew I was going the right way since we made it to Indiana.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
This is what Megan looks like in Indiana.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
OUR FIRST TOLL!!!


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I love tolls ssssoooooo much.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
It's a good thing Holly was asleep because no one else wanted to pay the toll.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
This picture was just fun to take.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Megan, myself, Holly and Roy's hand continue to enjoy the journey across the midwest.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Megan needs to do more navigating and look less artsy.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
HA! Roy gets his picture taken now!


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I probably said something like, "GOOD! Now that Roy's asleep we can actually have a little peace and quiet in the car."


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I think I said "GOOD" a little too loud 'cause Roy is back up 'n runnin'.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Roy needs to be more sleepy and look less artsy.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Megan is furious that someone else took her artsy joke!


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We're all awake and certainly not artsy...although Holly may be looking a bit suspicious back there.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We spotted a Cracker Barrel and Megan was excited to get her grub on.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
But before that we needed to sit down a bit longer.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Inside it looks like it should be called the CRAPPER BARREL! WHOOAAAA!!!


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Being a gentelmen like myself, it's customary to be polite to a lady...even if it means I'm going to get robbed.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Indiana Roy helped me out though and we beat the crapper barrel out of that no good rotten lady.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Roy couldn't keep his eyes off of the hot waitress we had.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Then Megan gave him the stare down until he started to act like a gentlemen again.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Roy had enough of that gentlemen crap and busted out the big SLR camera that Megan is frighten of so much.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Then he started taking pictures of all the hot waitresses.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Megan refuses to watch.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Brian and Holly don't know what to say but find the whole thing to be very entertaining.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Megan loves biscuits.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Here we are after eating and we didn't feel good afterwards. Next time we'll try not to look so artsy.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
A little better.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
After letting a huge belch like a gentlemen I was ready to get back to driving.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Check out the manly Adam's apple.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We finally made it to the grand state of Ohio.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I always look this cool when I pump gas.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
While I was pumping gas Megan went to get the key to the ladies room so she could freshen up.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Here is the making of Megan getting the key to the ladies room so she could freshen up.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I don't know what the heck is going on here.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We're all refreshed and ready to drive through the poorly lit roads of Ohio.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Girl moment...I guess.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We finally made it to our hotel and now Megan is ready to go to sleep.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Roy isn't tired at all...he's just high.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Group shot before sleep!


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
It took a few times before Roy and I got it down right but we eventually jumped in the air at the same time.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
After way too many unnecessary pictures we FINALLY made it Cedar Point!


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I seem to be unsure about Megan's "pumped up" attitude.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Our review of the front gate gets one thumb up.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
If there's one thing Holly enjoys it's waiting in line.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I look even cooler than when I'm pumping gas!


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Warmin' up with our rollercoaster faces.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We haven't been in the park for fifteen minutes yet and these three act like they own the joint.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
In case you can't see the small unreadable sign in the background our first ride was Millennium Force.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
While we were waiting in line the coaster zoomed by and gave Holly the heebie jeebies.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Here we are going up 210 feet.











Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Probably going about 90 mph here...and yes the camera was practically glued to my arm.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Maybe this was about 90 mph.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
There's a few good dips on this ride and we're going up one of them right now.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Megan is thankful we didn't stop at another Cracker Barrel before heading over to the park.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We fell right into this trap somehow but luckily Roy was able to free us after taking the humiliating picture.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
This mine cart rollercoaster had no line at all so we thought we would go on it and check it out.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
After Millennium Force our expectations were extremely high for every single ride.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Going up for a HUGE thrill.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Instead of the ride being scary it's quite enjoyable.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
HOLY CRAP!


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Look...we were actually going a little fast here.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Back to checking out the nice view from 30 feet above.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I shouldn't have said anything about 30 feet above to Megan.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
It appears Roy passed some gas over to Holly.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Roy loves passing his gas while I tried to take very little breaths.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Grand finalle.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We're not sure what the heck that was...but I suppose that's why there wasn't a line.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
It's time to go on something with a little more "kick" so Top Thrill Dragster looked promising with it's 0-120 mph start and 420 feet high track.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We waited in line for almost two hours and that big thing in the background is basically the ride.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We took on last group picture in case one of us didn't make it...Megan didn't realize this was higher than 30 feet.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
After being on the ride for about ten seconds we got off and had no clue what the heck just happened.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Taking a stroll.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Being annoying.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Looking confused.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Holly cools off Megan with an ice cube on her wrist, but for the guys this was HOT!


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We left Holly and the ice cube alone for a little bit.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Even when the cotton candy is only 25 cents Megan still had to eat someone else's treat.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Megan and I rode on the carrousel while Roy and Holly went to the car to put their crap away like suckers.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We may have been way below 30 feet high, but we were probably going just as fast as Top Thrill Dragster.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We were the coolest people in Ohio at this point...CEDAR POINT!


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Megan and I eventually met up with Holly and Roy again and for some reason Roy felt like punching me in the face.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
While I was knocked out everyone else had some Dippin' Dots to pass the time.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
It's time to KICK THE SKY on Raptor!


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Waiting in line is the best.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Some guy in front of us insisted he would take a picture of all of us...so here it is.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
The Raptor has been one of my favorite rides for a long time but unfortunately they get a little shaky over the years.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Roy couldn't handle all of the rides we went on so far and he had to throw up at the nearest fountain.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
It looks like Roy is good to go again.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Nope, back for seconds.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We all didn't realize he ate so much cotton candy and Dippin' Dots.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
He make look dead but that's how Roy looks when he's taking a breather.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
It's time to get back on "TRACK" of the schedule.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
The Texan spirit comes out for a moment.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Holly leaves us behind while we go check out the Mean Streak.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Roy points out where we would have gone through if there was a huge line.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Too bad I wasn't watching to see how Roy got into this mess because I'm sure it would have been entertaining.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Megan thinks it's disgusting and would much rather watch Roy throw up in the fountain again.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I could not decide what would be better.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
It's almost time to get our streak on.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Still getting ready for the streak.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
And we just got on streak on.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Megan has had enough with the steaks.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Holly loves spinning rides more than Wisconsin cheese and THAT'S IMPRESSIVE!


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Roy doesn't like the look of this to get on the Magnium roller coaster.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Again, I don't know what to decide.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Megan politely talks to me how I need to man up and decide on something.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Here's the ride we waited in line for while I was indecisive the whole time.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
The water tower ride was shut down THE WHOLE DAY!


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Roy demonstrates how a normal person sits.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
It's time to go on the cute little Mantis ride.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Megan and Roy were bored in a few minutes after waiting in line.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
But Megan snuck in some weed so she was baked in no time.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
It may look like a trick but Roy actually picks his nose and Holly was very impressed.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Then I was getting ready to do some snot rockets and Holly was even more impressed.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Holly took this Mantis thing a little too seriously after the ride.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
It's huge and stiff...so Holly is up for riding Power Tower.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
After riding Millennium Force and Top Thrill Dragster again the park finally shut down and we were still walking around owning the joint.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
It looks like someone had some weed left over.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Then Megan started to flash the camera.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
And Roy tried calling the state of Mississippi.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Megan passed out a few minutes later and Roy couldn't decide what to do to her ear.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
The only effects Holly gets from weed is the shifting of her eyebrows.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Holly found Roy's puke in the fountain!


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We thought it would be a nice picture for us to remember that one time when Roy puked in the fountain and then Holly finding it a few hours later.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Back to "Crazy Baked Meg" again.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
It looks like I was the only one who wasn't high at this point.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
After a long day of amusement park fun it's time to leave Cedar Point.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
It's the next day and it's time to head back!


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
A few minutes later Holly and Roy start talking with their real friends on their cell phones.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
According to our religion Megan and I don't believe in cell phones.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
While we stopped to get gas Holly had to find her other cell phone battery.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Megan started to look at this interesting device.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Megan broke the rules of whatever religion she belonged to before and has now joined Holly's cult.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We made it back to Indiana, which was good because I was certain at this point I was going the right way once again.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
HOO-RA!!! It's Indiana everyone!


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Now that Megan uses cell phones she also needed to get a wicked tatoo from McDonald's to complete her membership of the cult.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We're back in Chicago and it's time to unpack.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
One last group shot of the whole gang!


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Holly went to the airport to say goodbye.


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I'm all Holly-less now it's time for me to find my flight and get back to the sunshine state by Monday morning!
