Cedar Point
Sandusky, OH
Cedar Point is large and luckily rather flat to make the walking easier. There are plenty of places to sit and rest throughout the park, probably more than any otehr park. There is something about an
amusement park built on a large peninsula that makes it special. It is unlikely you will able to experience the entire park in one day so plan on more time if possible. It is not just a park with a lot of rides but a park with a lot of great rides. Just the photographs for this web site took the better part of a day. Every night, operating hours and weather permitting, there is a laser/fireworks show near the middle of the park. If at all possible, try to see it, it is quite good. Cedar Point is owned and operated by Cedar Fair who also owns Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom, Valleyfair!, Knotts Berry Farm and Worlds of Fun.

You will also find one of the original freefall rides here,
the huge Power Tower (consisting of two Turbo Drops and two Spaceshots) and

Of the coasters, the Magnum 200XL has been a
favorite ever since built and one of the few coasters to be as popular as the wooden
rides. 
Raptor is one of the most popular inverted coasters and Mantis one of
the most popular Stand Up coasters.
The Mean Streak wooden roller (not
