Recar to Become Racer [Again]
Monday, April 7th, 2008I love roller coasters. Even before I was able to walk my parents took me to Cedar Point once a year with some friends of theirs. As I got older I was able to ride more rides, do more things, and I began to love Cedar Point. It became one thing that [...]
