Chad

At what age? We were probably 16, and he got caught, and he got the silent treatment the rest of the trip from the family.

No, no, nothing from that. But this story actually is about when I survived three tornadoes that hit Cedar Point. Okay.

The year is 1998, and it's summer. This particular trip was with my aunt and uncle. my sister, and four cousins. At the time, my sister was 11. Two of my cousins were 13. Me and another cousin were 14, and my oldest cousin was 17. So the plan for this trip is my aunt and uncle are taking all six kids to Cedar Point. The first day, they take us to the park. They are not ride people.

So they're like, hey, you guys go off. We're going to do the shows. We're going to eat some food, meet up with us at these times and don't get into too much trouble. So the second day it comes around, me and uncle have decided they don't really want to do Cedar Point for a second day. So they say, hey, we're just going to drop you guys off at the park for the day. Are you guys staying at Breakers?

Where are you staying? We're staying at a campground outside of Cedar Point. We're not even on property.

Yeah. So their plan is we're going to drop you off in the morning. We'll pick you up at night. I mean, it's the 1990s. Parenting was just a little different. However, I have a 10-year-old son now. And I'm like, there's no scenario where I would just send him to Cedar Point with people a few years older than him with no parental supervision. And cell phones weren't a thing in 1998.

We do what boys and girls do at that age. We split off. We're like, hey, the boys, we're going to go get into trouble and the girls are going to go do their thing. So it's about lunchtime and we decide we're going to ride the power tower. Is that the old demon drop? It's kind of like the demon drop on steroids.

One side of it will shoot you up really fast and then drop you down and keep shooting you up and dropping you down. The other side takes you up slowly and then drops you really fast like the demon drop.
