Cedar Point Ohio

[Killer91]

Been thinking about going up there next summer. Looks like an amazing theme park but I live in Texas and thats a long way to go.

So if you've been could ya let me know how it is? I'd like to hear what it's like from a real person and not just their internet site.

Cedar Point is fun, but I wouldn't drive that far for it.  That's just me though.

if you like roller coasters, it's probably the best in the country. When I lived in MI, I used to go there every summer.   It's right on the lake too, so if you're making it a destination it would be worth renting a boat or a jet ski or something and having a day to relax in the water.  There's also an attached water park, but it's a separate admission.

I wouldn't drive that far for any amusement park; but if you're looking to road trip for some roller coaster fun (or just in the area) Cedar Point is the place to go.

You know, if you are traveling that far, I think you might want to take a look at the Wisconsin Dells instead...  Massive water parks...  Some roller coasters...  And DUKWs!

Thanks for the info guys  I love rollercoasters and so far the biggest one I've rode is the Titan at Six Flags Over Texas. Cedar Point has coasters that make that look wimpie.  

What i'm thinking about since i was homeschooled and i'm a senior this year is to go for my senior trip and spend 5 or 6 days there and do everything including the park, the water park, and checking out the lake. idk what all is in Sandusky but i figure there's a few things to do.

Honestly, I can't imagine ANY reason to spend 5-6 days in ANY (or all, cumulative) cities of Ohio...  Maybe 1 day at Cedar Point...  Then 1 day at Wright-Patterson AFB (The Air Force Museum)...

Cedar point can take 2 days to do everything.  As with any theme park, going during the week will always provide less wait time per ride, the weekends are a mad house.  Top Thrill Dragster is THE sheeeit, but Millenium Force is truly awesome too.  Sandusky, Marble Head, Put-in-Bay all have things to do or visit depending on your interests.  Of course, there is the lake and therefore plenty of boating or fishing related activities.

Dunno about Cedar Point but the Air Force Museum at Wright Pat can be worth 2 days if you don't want to hurry through it. Great place to visit.

Well two days at Cedar Point, two days at the muesem, and a day at he lake or water park and it''l be a great trip for me. That's the kind of stuff i enjoy the most.

Thanks for the input guys. Definatley helped with my plans <S>

That sounds like a hell of a fun trip.  Any idea when? June? July?  Dayton air show is July 17th or so, could sneak that in too while in the area.  Plus (if we get it together this year) meet a bunch of us at the Dayton Gathering 2010.

Just a thought.

What about Kings Island in southern ohio? never been there but stayed across from it on buisiness trips about 20 times, looks pretty big. Would also save you about 3-4 hours drive time and it's less than an hour from Wright Patterson Air Force Museum which I would highly recomend.

K.I. is nice but Cedar Point is much much better. Although K.I. does have the Son of Beast.... Son of Beast =
I also highly recommend visiting the Wright Patterson Air Force Museum, it is amazing!! Being only 20 minutes from it is a blessing!
