Cedar Point in Ohio

Is this theme park worth the road trip?

Thinking of taking my oldest on a amusement park tour this summer with Cedar Point being the furthest and last stop before heading back.

Figure on Worlds of fun and Six Flags as bookends.

Might look into Kings Island as well.

I went a few years back with a few friend.. My experience: more than half of the rides were shut down due to maintenance. If you do end up going, call ahead of time to see if the rides are working. We didn't get to ride any of the better rides at the park. Also, stay away from the weekend! Lines can get rediculously long!!

Best coaster I've ever been on: Millennium Force, hands-down. It's like riding a rocket. (Second-best: the coaster at Six Flags New England. Amazing airtime on that ride, and it's constantly ranked high on coaster enthusiast lists.)

Cedar Point is like a coaster smorgasboard (sp?). You've got old wood, new wood, inverted, suspended, stand-up, 200 feet, 300 feet, 400 feet, WTF... Something for everyone.

Cedar Point opened up a new ride this year called the Windseeker, MY BIL went on it yesterday, called me and said it was ****ing awesome. I can't wait to go.

That place was so much fun. I can't wait to go back sometime soon.

It's the best amusement park out there, period. The water park is also awesome.

I hope to make a trip there someday to the "Holy Mecca" of coasters. Theres a Great Wolf Lodge up there as well.

Looking at going back next summer and check out this new ride.

I saw that they have closed down the windseeker rides because one of them broke down last week and left riders trapped for quite a while.

Ride was boring anyway.

Cedar point is terrific. Kings island near Cincy is a distant second, but it's still a solid park.

If all you want is an amusement park. Sandusky is nothing to write home about. You're pretty close to Cleveland but there's nothing to do there. I'd take an extra half hour and drive to Columbus instead. Or if you wanted to make a weekend of it, check out put in bay (as long as you're in season). It's like a redneck Mardi gras there.

While visiting Six Flags Over Georgia, Muff Boudain was once stranded atop a malfunctioning roller coaster for approximately 6 hours. During that time and due to his prior rapid consumption of several beers, he found himself experiencing an horrific and urgent need to empty his bladder. After some consideration of the alternatives available to him, he chose to aim for a vacant area directly behind the "Pop-A-Balloon" game. Unfortunately for Muff, his prostate had been acting up and he missed the target completely, instead urinating on a local police officer and his wife. As the subsequent high-pitched screams provided him with more than sufficient evidence as well as indications of the severity of his error, Muff then attempted to escape by clambering down from the scaffolding structure using a Spiderman technique he had seen on television but was apprehended when his overalls became entangled on a strut. I believe he did about 90 days in county for that one.

Cedar Point is the best. I grew up going there. So much fun. My favorite theme park.
