I've been to a lot of amusement parks and i'd still pick cedar point as the best!

just the ones i remember:
Six flags in NJ (it's been about ten years, but used to be nice from what i remember)
Six flags magic mountain CA (ghetto crowd and not much atmosphere, but some fun coasters)
Busch gardens virginia (nice family park decent coasters)
busch gardens Fl (about the same, virginia was a little nicer though, free beers a +)
Sea world san diego CA(mostly shows, so spent more time with the free beer)
Sea world san antonio TX (enjoyed the water park side, since it was 155 deg that day, also got pulled into private hospitality room w/ free beers and snacks while watchin tv in nice comfy leather chairs)
Knotts berry farm CA (nice family park, but not many coasters)
lego land CA(sucked ass, only park my kids actually asked to leave)
universal studios hollywood CA(decent, but doesn't compare to the one in Fl)
Universal Orlando FL(fun, but mostly virtual rides, i prefer coasters)
Disney world FL(been there done that, Not really impressed with the rides, but the atmosphere is fun for the kids)
Hershey Park PA(always has been a nice family park with a few decent coasters)
king's island OH(fun park, Beast and son of beast were a blast, although if your that close just go to Cedar Point)
Dorney Park PA (Been more than a few years, but was small from what i remember)
Morey's pier and mariner's landing? Wildwood NJ (had a blast here when i spent summers at the beach with friends, something about coasters over the water... or maybe the beer bongs before the coaster ride..)
Camp Snoopy? inside Mall of America MN (kids had some fun, although they were younger then)
circus cicus vegas nv (keeps the kids occupied while the adults have the real fun)

out of all of these i still pick Cedar Point! TTD still the best coaster!

Well as summer is coming and most are planing summer trips I hope for your own sake if you are into coasters and other rides and have Never been to Cedar Point you go check it out this year!!

They have another new ride debuting this year! SKYSCRAPER

SANDUSKY, Ohio – Just when you thought that they couldn't’t possibly add any more thrills and wild rides to the shores of Lake Erie, Cedar Point amusement park/resort has announced that Skyscraper, a towering thrill ride, will debut this summer in the Challenge Park activity complex.

Skyscraper will be unlike any ride you have ever experienced on the Cedar Point Peninsula. Featuring a giant propeller consisting of two arms that will spin guests in a full circle, Skyscraper is one of the most thrilling rides in the amusement industry.

Four riders, two on each arm, will sit in open cars with their feet dangling, on opposite ends of the propeller. The arms of the propeller quickly rotate in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, spinning riders 16 stories into the air at speeds of up to 55 mph. At its highest point, riders will be upside down 160 feet above the ground!

IT GOT BROUGHT UP IN ANOTHER THREAD ABOUT US HAVING A LS1 MEET @ CEDAR POINT THIS SUMMER.......................

FOR THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW................

When it comes to providing the best in world-class fun and family entertainment, nobody does it better than Cedar Point amusement park/resort in Sandusky, Ohio. The popular vacation destination has been named “Best Amusement Park in the World” for a record 10th year in a row by Amusement Today’s panel of experts in the newspaper’s annual Golden Ticket Awards.

The Golden Ticket Awards are some of the most prestigious awards in the amusement industry. They are presented annually to the “best of the best” in the amusement industry and are calculated from an international poll conducted by Amusement Today. Surveys were sent to a database of experienced and well-traveled amusement park fans around the world – in balanced geographical regions, asking them to rate the “best” in 24 categories, such as amusement parks, roller coasters, food, waterparks and more. Amusement Today is an Arlington, Texas,-based international publication that covers amusement and waterpark news and trends.

“To be so highly regarded for 10 consecutive years means a great deal to everyone at Cedar Point,” said John Hildebrandt, vice president and general manager of Cedar Point. “We are extremely proud of each and every one of these awards and sincerely thank all of our guests for making Cedar Point a part of their summer.”

In addition to receiving the most coveted award for “Best Amusement Park in the World,” Cedar Point also took home top honors for “Best New Ride of 2007” for its 17th roller coaster – Maverick.

Located in Frontiertown, the $21 million Maverick is a coaster unlike any other. Riders aboard Maverick are launched to the top of the 105-foot-tall first hill, before plummeting down to Earth at an incredible 95-degree angle at speeds of up to 57 mph! Multiple twists, turns and inversions are all thrilling components of the Maverick experience. A second launch through a 400-foot-long dark tunnel at speeds exceeding 70 mph and the first-of-kind Twisted Horseshoe Roll add to the excitement of the 4,450-foot-long ride.

Cedar Point placed five of its coasters in the Top 20 “Best Steel Roller Coasters” listing. At No. 2 was the legendary Millennium Force roller coaster. Since Cedar Point introduced this “giga-coaster” in 2000, it has never been ranked lower than second place. The park’s classic Magnum XL-200 came in at the No. 5 position, while Top Thrill Dragster (No. 9), Maverick (No. 13) and Raptor (No. 19) rounded out the list.

i used to always fit in a trip to Cedar Point after going to the TA nationals in Vandalia.

It's been a couple years since i've made the trek with the car in tow... something tells me if gas stays at $4 a gal, it won't be this year either.

Yeah if I was you I would just fly into Toledo or Cleveland and hope into a rental. Gas is too stupid right now and is just going to get worse.

i'm a fan of vally fair in the twin cities, MN

**BlackSS1** · 03-15-2008, 09:20 AM

Cedar Point is awesome if you like coasters. The top thrill dragster goes 0-120 in 4 seconds! A 15 second ride, but well worth the waiting and sweating and money for gas.

Too bad the town it is located in is so dull...

**95Fyrebyrd** · 03-15-2008, 10:51 AM

Cedar Point hands down, but when i would go stay with my brother in Tampa for the summer we would go to Bush Gardens and that place is pretty amazing.
