What's Life if You Never Get to the Point?

Okay, I know several of my readers do not like Kevin Keane, but c'mon, he spent a good bit of last night's show talking about Cedar Point! He took his family there on Tuesday, and hopes some of our struggling Tribe players were also there getting some much needed R&R.

I love Cedar Point. It's in my blood. I hope there are roller coasters in heaven. I know Kennywood has been advertising heavily here in the Cleveland area, and it looks like a nice little park, but it can't touch Cedar Point. Cedar Point was recently named "America's Favorite Amusement Park" by the readers of Theme Parks Magazine for the second year in a row, along with a bunch of other awards. Cedar Point had three roller coasters in the list of top four steel roller coasters! Cedar Point's Millennium Force and Top Thrill Dragster are experiences not to be missed, and even in her 17th year, Magnum XL-200 still consistently ranks in the top 5 of steel roller coasters.

Cedar Point also was named by the international readers of Amusement Today in 2005 as the "Best Amusement Park in the World" for the eighth consecutive year!

Of course, Cedar Point is well known for her roller coasters. In this photo, you can see a few: Wildcat, Millennium Force, Mantis, Iron Dragon and Corkscrew. There are sixteen coasters total.

Two are kiddie coasters.


And speaking of kids, Cedar Point has two Kiddielands, Kiddie Kingdom and Camp Snoopy, plus a play area behind the Snoopy Boutique where kids can play more quietly for a break, ride a miniature train, maybe even hear a story.




There's a nice assortment of thrill rides, both old-fashioned like the Matterhorn, and brand-new, like maXair and Skyhawk.

If you get warm, there's two water rides.

For those who want a calmer visit, Cedar Point still has lots of traditional rides, and shows featuring not only singers and dancers, but some featuring divers or ice skaters! You can find lots of shopping, include a casual stroll along the Frontier Trail. There's tons of food options, and Cedar Point always ranks high in the entertainment and food categories, as well as park cleanliness and friendliness of staff.

So have fun! Ride early, ride often! You and your kids will sleep well that night!
