Been away for a few days as we took a car load to Cedar Point in Ohio. This is the second trip for Shelly and I and we brought along Amanda, Ashley and Laura along with us and Zack. It is an 8 hour drive which with only a couple turns off I 90 to bring you to the park entrance. We stayed at a hotel called "Castaway Bay" which is part of the property that just opened earlier this year that is just outside the main entrance of the park.
The main attraction with staying at this hotel rather than one of the others at the property is the indoor water park with many slides for both young and old. We did the water park Wednesday afternoon. Zack loved it!!!! The four biggest slides take you outside the building with each giving you multiple turns before you come down for your landing inside the building at the bottom. The best part of taking this trip this time in the season is NO LINES!!! The waterpark there were no lines at all. At the amusement park the wait times were no longer than 15 minutes. When we were there the last time a couple weeks earlier the wait time for the Millenium Force for example was 2 hours!!!.
The room for a couple nights was a little expensive but considering we got a 2 bedrooms (2nd with 2 bunkbeds) and coupons galore for free admissions, discounts, etcand sooo easy to get to that all things considered it was well worth it. The Pacifica managed 21.6 mpg for all 1000+ miles of the trip fully loaded with people and luggage and crusiing along at 75-80 mph. Not bad at all
