Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky, OH is a roller coaster lover’s amusement park. At the time of this writing there were 17 roller coasters (more than any other in the world) and many of them set some type of record. These roller coasters include the old fashioned Blue Streak, Wildcat, and Gemini (a thrilling wood coaster in its own right) to amazing modern coasters such as Magnum XL-200, Millenium Force, Raptor, and Wicked Twister.
The park is a little hard to get to. It is located on Lake Erie and is a fair drive from either Cleveland or Toledo. Due to its location, many people will have to take long drives to the park and spend the night either before or after. There are dozens of affordable hotels and motels to stay at and here is a link to a few of them.
The owners of Cedar Point also own a few hotels and some of these are attractions to themselves. The Hotel Breakers is actually on the grounds of the park and is a magnificent hotel. You may be interested in staying at the water park based hotel, Castaway Bay, and turn your trip to Cedar Point into a multiple day mini-vacation. You can find other Cedar Point Resorts here.
At the park, you really must try the turkey legs which are a bit of a local treat. And aside from the many thrill rides and roller coasters, make sure that you take the Sky Ride from one end of the park to the other, it is a fun way to travel and see all of the sites.
No trip to the park is complete without purchasing some of its taffy. Save your purchase for the end of the day so you can have a sugar high on the drive to the hotel, home, or airport.
