Capt'n Obvious Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Definitely the best them park in the world. They have great roller coasters and a large park. Millenium Force is the best roller coaster I've ever been on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Yeah, Millenium Force climbs up up up into the clouds and then you go on a smooth but FAST ride. Cool coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CenterSnap Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Cedar point is the best place i have ever been on a vacation to. They have like 17 roller coasters including the new one "Maverick" that opens this year. I would definently recommend going there with your friends. Also, if you stay in one of the cedar point hotels, you get early admission into the park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander_N_Chief Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Cedar Point was amazing, it's one of the three reasons I was looking for housing in Ohio. Cedar Point, Football HOF, and Rock and Roll HOF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjah Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 You might try the Holiday Inn for cheap accommodations. They're really close to the park, and if it's the place I'm thinking of, there's a cheap bowling alley across the street. A good contingency plan for rainouts. You can bowl nonstop for a very reasonable price. There are about a billion things that make a trip to the Point easier, more efficient, etc. But to maximize your quality of life in the park, do at least these three things: 1) Don't go on a weekend. Weekdays only. 2) Get there before the park opens. Be ready at the gate. When the magical hour is nigh, make a beeline for the ride(s) you REALLY want to ride that day but think will have a long line: Millennium Force, Dragster (if it runs), Maverick, etc. Get through a couple of them -- or at least one -- before the lines reach their maximum morning length, and you'll have bought yourself more time for other things later. 3) The majority of park guests start at the front of the park, and work their back towards the tip of the Point by the end of the day. So do the opposite. You'll get shorter lines in the morning for Magnum, Mean Streak, etc., and the afternoon/evening lines up front will be no worse than if you had started there in the morning. Also, Ride Disaster Transport twelve times in one day and you'll get free admission for the next day. Just kidding. Actually, maybe that's true. Since nobody has ever bothered to ride Disaster Transport twelve times, it might be true for all I know. Cedar Point really is the roller coaster capital of the world. Have fun!

rebornempowered Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I live 5 minutes away. If you decide to go PM me and I will give you my special "park attack plan". I recommend going on a weekday (in May if possible). Also, there are plenty of hotels off point that are relatively cheap. You might also want to check out going to Geauga Lake or Kings Island. They are both owned by Cedar Fair (the company that runs Cedar Point). One is in the Cleveland area, the other in the Cincinnati area. They may have some sort of multi-park discount. I don't know because I have a season pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water + August=Nasty flying insects like you have never seen.Jackie Ahhh.....August is nothing compared to the muffleheads of June. My wife and I rode front seat on Millennium Force just after dark. We had mufflehead guts all over our faces, arms, and I could barely see out of my glasses. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOOPSKIN28 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Oh, yes good call... re: Bug Spray, yes I recall some nasty experiences with some of the coasters that are right on the shore of Lake Erie and clusters of bugs. Let's just say you should try not to scream too much, with your mouth open at least. Great park though, best collection of roller coasters....
