Sean F. I walked out onto the boardwalk for my morning caffeine and a cigarette, excited with the thoughts of the day ahead of us. There is something very special to be said about early morning on the boardwalk at Cedar Point- the quiet, peaceful tranquility, the sounds of the Lake Erie waves pounding the shore, sound of seagulls honking, and people doing their morning exercise.
This beach and boardwalk would soon be filled with smiling faces, laughter, music, sunshine, all of the good things in life. One of my thoughts was how well this tour would play out. One of my concerns was weather, and so when booking it, I emailed the park to ask what would happen in the event of inclement weather.
Another concern was the reaction from fellow guests. We have been platinum pass holders every year since ; we average roughly room nights per season at Cedar Point resorts, and have, plenty of times, seen the reaction of fellow guests when others receive special treatment. I then reflected upon what got me here in the first place, have been earning my own money since I was 8, with a newspaper route, paid my own way through college, and through good recognition, a nice promotion at work this spring- I earned this- down to the penny.
Anyhow, I walked back in through the rotunda to the strong smell of coffee from Starbucks, and a line for said coffee longer than a line for Millennium Force on a HalloWeekends Saturday; so I ended up in the lobby of Perkins, awaiting my to-go order for breakfasts.
As soon as I sat down, I received a call from Emily- she was from Cedar Point and wanted to confirm the details of our tour, and to tell us to meet our guide in front of Back Beat Que at AM. While eating our breakfast, we decided to leave the suite at you know- to make sure that we were on time.
