The winter can get the best of us! Living in Ohio northern climates, typically at least 3 months of the year we are bundled up inside to get away from the winter extremes. Take it one step further, and us in northern Ohio do not have immediate access to an amusement park outside of the May-October season. That means for those of us who get a thrill from roller coasters, we struggle to make it back to May to get our fix.

People have varying ways of getting through the off-season. One could visit various locations around Sandusky to find the Best Ways to See Cedar Point During the Off-Season. Others may venture south to Cedar Fair parks like Carowinds, Kings Dominion, or Kings Island, which stay open from March/April through December.

Others will reorganize their souvenir cup shelf. However, what really gets us excited is to see guests do something really creative with their enthusiasm.

Take Vincent B., for example. He loves Top Thrill Dragster and you could say his love took him to new heights.

Over the course of about a month, Vincent ordered parts he needed and dug through boxes of LEGO pieces as he worked to construct a pretty accurate model of the 0 to 120 MPH Top Thrill Dragster roller coaster.

Vincent estimates it took approximately 1,500 pieces to construct this beauty!

Thankfully, Vincent is not done there! Soon he will begin work on another project that we can not wait to see! Fantastic job Vincent!
