Taking XscreamThrills to Cedar Point For His Birthday (2026)

The Adventuring Abbeys go to Cedar Point

Some days at Cedar Point don’t go according to plan – and somehow end up even better.

We headed to Cedar Point to celebrate XscreamThrills’ birthday and Father’s Day, expecting a fun summer day at the park. Instead, threatening weather kept the crowds away, a major storm shut down the entire park for nearly two hours, and even the arcade games weren’t cooperating!

But once the skies cleared, everything changed.

With light crowds and walk-on coasters almost everywhere, we packed in an incredible evening of rides. My daughter and I even scored one of the rarest experiences a Millennium Force fan can hope for: an exit station load during parent swap – something coaster enthusiasts know almost never happens.

This trip was also our first time testing out our new Meta Ray-Ban glasses on roller coasters, so you’ll get to see what it’s like riding some of Cedar Point’s biggest attractions from a whole new perspective! (I have LOTS of thoughts after testing them at Cedar Point, Kennywood, Kings Island, and Kentucky Kingdom – so expect a full review coming soon!)

Whether you’re planning a Cedar Point trip, love roller coasters, or just enjoy following our family’s adventures, we hope you enjoy coming along for the ride!

If you enjoy videos like this, we’d love to have you subscribe for more amusement park adventures, roller coaster reviews, park updates, and family travel.

And because – what’s a blog post without photos – here are just a few (these are just iPhone & Meta glasses snaps since we made the decision to leave our “big” camera equipment home on this particular day).
