The Scene
If you feel the need for speed, 16 breathtaking roller coasters guarantee a good time. Once Memorial Day weekend begins, expect lots of fun and large crowds. In addition to the rides, the park also provides a resort hotel, an RV campground and a port to Lake Erie. Other entertainment is also available in the form of stage shows, a petting zoo and a new ice show called "Snoopy on Ice."
The Features
Top Thrill Dragster stands 420 feet tall and, using hydraulic technology, can zoom from 0 to 120 mph in just four seconds. The Wicked Twister is the world's first double-twisting impulse roller coaster and races the track at 72 mph. For people who enjoy slightly lower heart rates, there are plenty of other rides including antique carousels, water rides and the family-oriented Camp Snoopy.

I have been to many parks around the U.S. To name a few; Six Flags, Disney World, Universal Studios, Kentucky Kingdon etc. Cedar Pointe is my favorite by far! The lines are long on the popular rides, especially on the weekends, but it is well worth the the money that you pay and the wait. After visiting Cedar Pointe Several Times, anytime I go to another amusement park to broaden my horizons, they always leave me yearning for more and wanting to go back to Cedar Pointe. It your a thrillster like my family, you'll absolutely love this place. Stay at the Candlewood Suites, The Fairfield Inn or The All American Hotel. Their the cleanest. The Waterpark is totally awesome, but is a seperate fee from the park. Try to Take a day for the park and a day for the waterpark. Attempting to do both in one day is possible but just too much!

I have been going since age 15. I am now 63. Cost is high getting in but worth it. This year I will be going with my eighteen year old son, my 30 year old daughter and her children ages 15, 10 and 4 years old. There are rides for all ages, wet or dry. Snacks, lunches, and dinner all top quality. Shops such as soap, fudge, and leather - many things made on site. Highest rated rides. If its a hot day with good weather expect long lines on the popular rides.

Major CON: this year, Freeway Passes have been discontinued. The park claims this will make it more "fair" for all riders, however there is a new VIP pass available ($350/head) that will get you to the front of all lines all day. So how is THIS fair? The park brochure also says lines will be shorter and will move faster; no, the lines are no better than before. That said, Cedar Point is still, without a doubt, the best park in North America for thrill rides. The coasters are worth the trip by themselves -- add in the MaxAir and new Skyhawk thrill rides, and the awesome lake views, and the experience cannot be matched. Upsides: the thrill rides; the views; ease of parking; Soak City and beach attractions; you can tailgate or picnic in sheltered areas near the gates; pass prices are down a little this year. Down sides are: smoking is allowed in the park (and many people violate the rule against smoking in line); the lines are horribly, hellaciously long; the food is lousy (if you're looking for a nice break from the heat, humidity, and noise, and want a nice meal -- this is not your park); this is not really a park for little kids, unless someone in your party wants to spend all day sitting out the real fun (the big-kid rides). But if you love coasters, you HAVE to go to Cedar Point. Give yourself two days, so you can stand in those lines, and do all the coasters.
