It’s over a week ago when my summer semester ended. To celebrate this, two friends (Jonathan, Michael) and I went to Cedar Point.

This time I have to agree with the American motto: bigger = better. Some of the rides at Cedar Point are mind blowing! The Europa-Park in Rust seems like a children play ground compared with Cedar Point. (The last statement is just to annoy all the Swiss people who haven’t been on any real roller coaster )

Here are my personal top 3 rides:

1. Millennium Force: fast, long and smooth.
2. Top Thrill Dragster: 0-120 mph in 4 sec says everything
3. Maverick: fast, long and nervous

Interesting about these rides is that they were all manufactured in Switzerland by Intamin AG. I’m wondering why we don’t have such rides in Switzerland…

A hint for all people who go to cedar point: Riding the Mean Streak in front hurts as much as in the back. We proved that in an empirical experiment.

This two day trip was almost perfect except of 3 small things:

• - I didn’t win a stuffed animal
• - We couldn’t go for a swim in the hotel pool, because a kid abused the pool as a restroom.
• - I/We couldn’t eat at White Castle since Google lied to us…

But a really bad thing by Cedar Point can be seen in the following picture… Guess what it is!

btw: More pictures will follow… sooner or later

This morning I witnessed a car chase: 1 old black car followed by 3 cops (one on a motorcycle). They were racing up Forbs Avenue where as the black old car drove like crazy… That is all the excitement you need at 7:30 in the morning.

Over the last weekend we moved into our new apartment. Since we didn’t have everything set up yet, we had to be creative to eat our first dinner at the new place

Btw: This is the last week of the summer semester, and then I will have two whole weeks of holidays. Jihaa!
