This is the greatest roller coaster park I've ever been to. The line for the new maverick roller coaster was long but it was worth the wait. I now regret not going on millenium force because one person who I went with said it was his favorite. I ...Read more

This is a typical theme park, but has a few coasters that you can't find anywhere else. If you can handle long lines, then it is way worth your wait. We enjoyed ourselves and have been to every Six Flags, Disney, Universal, and other major theme ...Read more

Sure I agree it is a great deal for roller coaster thrill seekers. I, however, prefer a more wholesome ride experience than just a quick adrenaline rush and I just do not even get that from roller coasters. Thus this place leaves much to be desired for people like me, although it is not an entire bust. Bottom line is if you do not like roller coasters and are too old/tall for the kiddie rides than this probably is not worth visiting unless you do not mind waiting while others in your group go on rides. Now that is not something that bothers me, but boy can it get kind of miserable on a hot and humid day like it was when I visited Cedar Point in June.

I cannot really review most of the rides from personal experience because I do not understand what is so thrilling about roller coasters and did not go on many. I did go on three of the supposedly tamer ones, though. One was the Jr. Gemini, which is for kids and is a total joke of a coaster. Basically kiddie coasters at county fairs are more thrilling than this one.

Another roller coaster I went on was the Mine Ride. This is more of a normal kiddie roller coaster that amusement/theme parks have. It is certainly not as tame as the Jr. Gemini, but it is not all that wild either. In that I mean it is slow enough/long enough you have enough time to get to enjoying it while your still on it. It does not have any really big drops and is mostly just turns, although it is a little bit of a rough ride.

The other roller coaster I went on was a little wilder with a kind of big drop at the beginning and some wild turns and dips into steam, but it is a smooth ride. This is a steel track coaster with the ride cars hanging below. This one is an okay roller coaster for the not so thrill seekers like me, but it is overall too quick of a ride and does not give much of an experience unless the line is short and you can go on multiple times in a row, which we did do towards the end of the day.

Beyond roller coasters the rides are kind of limited, although there are some non-kiddie rides to enjoy if you do not mind heights or spinning rides. One such ride I went on was the Giant Wheel (a.k.a. a ferris wheel), which gave a good view of the park and the lake. I am also into spinning rides and went on a few of those that were not totally wild. The two I went on were the Calypso, which is kind of a tilted flat plane Scrambler, and the Hurricane, which goes in a single large circle on a little wavy plane kind of fast.

The food at the park is not anything special really down to the expected high amusement park prices. The options are pretty limited if you are a vegetarian like me. I had a cheese pizza at a place near the Mine Ride. It was not that great and in fact I am pretty sure is was a microwaved frozen pizza. We had dinner at the Midway Market, which is an all-you-can-eat buffet for around $17 for an adult. It is a pretty good deal, but their are selections stiill are not that great for vegetarians. The salad section is really pretty limited with only like cucumbers and cheese to add to the lettuce. They did not even at least have croutons or mushrooms, although the Italian dressing was pretty good. They also had some pastas, but only the mac and cheese was okay.

The last thing we did at the park was see the Hot Summer Lights Fire Up the Night show. The show's description makes it sound exciting, but it really is not all that worth sticking around for. It is basically a fancy music mix of songs with a few fireworks, lights, and "firewater" comng out around the screen to go with the music. The songs are pretty mixed in style from "Cleveland Rocks" to "Life is a Highway" to songs from High School Musical to the very out of place seeming football fight songs. Basically it is just a basly mashed together music mix in a want to be cool fire show that just is not much of anything special and just leaves you confused. Close

This park is also known as "America's Roller Coast," meaning there are record-breaking coasters and thrill rides, suitable for most people 48 inches and taller. If you are the thrill-seeking type, I personally recommend The Millennium. This roller coaster ascends to heights of over 300 feet and hits speeds of up to 90 mph. Another great ride for those 52 inches and taller is The Raptor. You are seated in a hanging train attached to an overhead track, with your legs dangling. After descending the first hill of 175 feet, you are turned upside-down, twisted from side to side, and looped completely head over heals! Negative G forces keep you feeling suspended in air. Take off your shoes (they provide storage) and enjoy your ride.

Now, if you are not tall enough or as brave as other friends and family members, there are many easy, laid-back rides for the travel companions. Music shows at various theaters and saloons happen nearly every hour on the hour. Be sure to grab a park map for exact times and locations.

And for the kids, a child's favorite is Snoopy Land. There are smaller versions of fun the adults and older kids get to experience. There is a smaller general Kiddie Kingdom near the entrance of Cedar Point. Adjacent to that is a 2,000-square-foot arcade filled with games and prizes.

Be sure to hit up the Cedar Point staples, The Gemini, The Space Spiral, and of course, the Carousel, which sits centrally on the midway near the entrance/exit gates.

Food and drinks are necessities for an all-day adventure at this park. Either plan on spending a bit higher than average amount of money or you have the option of packing a picnic lunch/dinner and storing it for free at one of the many picnic shelters located just outside Cedar Point.

I've been going to Cedar Point for over 20 years now. This amusement park just gets better each year. The staff is always friendly and it has great carnival food and nice air-conditioned sit-down restaurants. There are many shows for the whole family to enjoy. No one will be left out of this vacation. My family returns every year! Close
