Cedar Point is a great park with many thrilling coasters, including elite coasters such as the RMC hybrid Steel Vengeance and the lone remaining strata Top Thrill 2. They also have many excellent supporting coasters, including some that would be stand-outs at other parks, such as launch coaster Maverick, giga coaster Millennium Force, hyper coaster Magnum XL-200, dive coaster Valravn, the photogenic front entry wing coaster Gatekeeper, invert Raptor, and now the equally photogenic tilt coaster Siren's Curse. There even have some classic coasters here such as woodie Blue Streak, racing coaster Gemini, suspended coaster Iron Dragon, and mine train Cedar Creek Mine Ride. They also have some good flats, like Skyhawk, a Screaming Swing, maXair, a Giant Frisbee, and WindSeeker, a Tower Swinger.
Additionally, the park is clean and full of refill stations for their souvenir bottles, which I strongly recommend getting if you don't already have one from another Cedar Fair park, to help you stay hydrated. They also have excellent dining options inside the park, including BackBeatQue, the Farmhouse Kitchen and Grill, Hugo's Italian Kitchen, and their newest and my favorite, Grand Pavilion, which combines good food, such as Funnel Cake Fried Shrimp, with an upstairs dining area that has a great view of Lake Erie.
Plus this setting on Lake Erie gives you beautiful views everywhere from the coasters, to the walkways, to the skyride, to the dining areas, and allows you to feel the wonderful seabreeze while walking around the park and riding coasters. And they even have a skyride and a train to help you get around this colossal park.
However, Cedar Point does have a problem - they are too busy for their own good. This unfortunately means that, even if you are visiting on a weekday, you really do need to buy Fast Lane Plus, or otherwise you will be waiting multiple hours to ride roller coasters. With that said, as much as I dislike having to buy fast passes just to enjoy an amusement park, everything else about this park is too good to deny it five stars. read more
