All right guys it's finally time for the report. I'd like to get a few things out of the way.
1st) I may switch randomly between ride names from when it was paramount's park to it's current names now that it's Cedar Fair. (Basically 1 ride may be it's current name while another may be called by it's paramount name)
2nd) I apologize if it's a little vague i'm not the best with adjectives
3rd) All Photo's are courtesy of my Dad and Sister
4th) Coasters not ridden: The Fly, The Bat, Silver Streak, Taxi Jam.
Now that that's out of the way the trip report.
Having decided to get the Fast lane for a couple of reasons (The main 2 being that 1) my mom doesn't ride so we didn't want her waiting for hours and 2) It was Canada day so it was PACKED) we agreed to ride the coasters that didn't have fast lane first.
First up was Time Warp. This was my dad and I's first flying coaster. My sister rode Batwing at SFAmerica so it wasn't hers. It's really a weird feeling to ride your first flyer. The ride is really just average. Nothing special nothing awful. I'd give time warp a 5.5/10 My dad on the other hand didn't like it. He has a bum knee and it just put to much pressure on his knee the way he was locked into the restraint. My sister also did not like it. Her description "Uncomfortable. Not fun. Jerky. Batwing > Time Warp"
After time warp we went to ride Skyrider but it wasn't open yet so we decided to ride Might Canadian Minebuster and hope it would be open when we were done
MCMb was an ok woody. Pretty smooth but not much airtime. I'd again say it was average. 5.5/10 The rest of my family who rode did not like it. They thought it was rough (lol). They really aren't huge fans of woody's.
After MCMb Skyrider still wasn't open so we decided to go to Thunder Run next. We waited for around 25 minutes and decided to take some pictures while we waited

Thunder run was much how I remembered it. Smooth and fun, but nothing special. I'd give it a 6.5/10 The other riders agreed though they didn't like it was the same thing twice.
After that I went alone to ride Dragon Fire. OW my head still hurts a little bit from that and top gun(which we will get into later) It's an arrow looper and one of the more painful ones I've ridden. For reference not as painful as Anaconda at KD. I'd give it a 3/10
After Dragon Fire we stopped and got a snack. It was expensive park food. not really much to report on it.
After that we decided to go back to see if Skyrider was open as it was the last coaster we wanted to do not on the fast lane but made a pit stop at the falls to take a picture
Luckily when we got there it was open. I wasn't sure what to expect as it was my first Stand-up coaster not to mention it's made by Togo. Luckily my fears were unfounded for a surprisingly smooth and fun ride. It was definitely one of the best rides there. 8.5/10 The other riders agreed with me and thought it was the 3rd or 4th best ride coaster there.
After that we went to ride the one ride my mom really wanted to ride. The rapids. If there was one thing I learned at my many trip's to WDW is that my mom is a water magnet. I tried desperately to sit on the other side of the boat but I ended up next to her. :cry: Let's just say I was as wet as I was after Roman Rapids at the US live. My sneakers are still wet. Fun and wet. 8/10
That's it for now guys. Will update with the rest of the trip tomorrow. I hope your enjoying it and I apologize. It's my first trip report.
