Halloween Party, trick or treat activities and jack-o-lantern are normal event and views during Halloween. We always really await those events not to be scared by kidding adults but by the candies and chocolates that awaits us on the Halloween Night Party.

Now that we are teenagers we are now shy to join in with those kids and knock on our neighbors doors and ask , “Trick or Treat?” well, at fourteen I consider myself as an adult. And of course I won’t join my kid brother with his antics for the Halloween. Instead I would go to a Halloween Theme Park together with some friends to hang around and see whats new on this year in Alton Towers in Staffordshire.

If you think you are old enough to be strutting your neighborhood streets with the scariest make-up you could ever make then check the most frightening Halloween them park in Europe and get ready to be scared.

Alton Towers in Staffordshire, England won’t be left out in celebrating Halloween with a big bang. It attracts guest to almost 2.5 million last year 2007. Thus it was tagged as the most visited and popular theme park in the United Kingdom.

Elton Towers will meet 2008 Halloween party with a very special sequence of events starting on October 17 that would last on November 2.Even children are invited to enjoy the Halloween fever in this park at only 26 pound per child and 35 pound per adult.

There are so many surprises that await the family. Enjoy screaming your heart out in the Maze named Terror of the Towers in fact children below 14 are not allowed to enter the maze. That made me wonder what they had in store for us this year.

Last year was such a great experience in Alton tower; I enjoyed being scared out of my wits. I was half laughing with fright and fun that made us talk about it for almost two weeks. It was a good heart exercised indeed.

If roller coaster fun is burning like liquid fire in your vein then Cedar Point is the answer to it all. The Cedar Point roller coasters have varying range of speed, steepness, loops and turns. All types of roller coaster that fit your limitations are awaiting every one in cedar point. Indeed, it lives to its name ‘the roller coaster capital of the world.’

Cedar Point is situated in Ohio USA on a protruding peninsula into Lake Erie. It is holding world records for having the most number of roller coasters. That explains why every desired roller coaster is available in just a wish. If you wanted to have a slower and friendlier to the hearts roller coaster then it is available here in Cedar Point.

One of the 17 roller coaster in Cedar Point is also holding the record of the second tallest at the same time the second fastest in the whole wide world.

Here is the list of the best the roller Coaster rides in Cedar Point I have ridden.

• Blue Streak- The oldest and most loved roller coaster in Cedar Point. This roller coaster has a sentimental value both to the owner and clients of Cedar Point.

• Wild Cat- Indeed a very Wild ride. It is a wild mouse kind of coaster.

• Gemini- It is the blending of steel roller coaster and hybrid wood. Cedar Point says that this is the fastest and tallest roller coaster in the whole world.

• Disaster Transport- The ride that shake my spirit. It will indeed swing from its track for the wheels are differently constructed like that of a traditional roller coaster.

• Wicked Twister- this roller coaster indeed lives up to its name. A wicked ride that would really try ones courage on top of the roller coaster.

• Millennium Force- this roller coaster has the highest point. Just by looking at it imaginations of thrill rides will pop up in ones imagination.

• Mean Streak- The longest roller coaster ride in Cedar Point.

Just a word of advice; try to relax before hitting one coaster to another; seven roller coaster in a day indeed is the most that my mind and body could ride.

Roller coasters really amaze me and thrills me always as do my father and grand fathers. Though they don’t ride super wild roller coasters anymore as they reached the latest stage of adult life; but younger pictures of them in it still are plastered all over the albums; boasting wild grins and laughter; surely they were enjoying the best time of their amusement park life those days; and considering the progress of science and technology our roller coaster in our era is the best scream inducing machine in this century.

Then visiting the amusement park that has it all- Cedar Point – has made my illusion a reality. The illusions of sharing a scream with my wife and children have now become a reality. Mantis Ride then became our favorite ride in Cedar point. It is like a roller coaster with its twist and turn but the difference is the passengers are standing.

Yeah! You’ve got to do your 360 degrees turn standing up. This would mean facing the challenge of speed in an upright position. Easy right? Just try it man.

The makers of Cedar Point had made sure that the Mantis is not the only one who could thrill amusement park goers; there are so many rides that could surely get the same intensity in the scream scale.

Cedar Point with its century old experience has always something up in its sleeve; something new and innovative that is sought after by thrill seekers. It is situated in Sandusky, Ohio, United States.

My family love different rides in Cedar Point. My wife would love to spend a lifetime riding Demon Drop if she was given the chance to get hooked with a ride in the amusement park. The ride was one of the kinds in the US that is till running until now.
