My family visited Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, and overall we had an absolutely fantastic time. Cedar Point is known as the "Roller Coaster Capital of the World," and after visiting, it's easy to see why. There are so many rides and attractions that it honestly feels impossible to experience everything in just one visit. The thrill rides are incredible. If you love roller coasters, this place is like paradise. From massive towering coasters that shoot you high into the sky to lightning-fast launches and huge drops, the excitement never stops. Some of the rides had our hearts racing before we even got on them just by watching them fly across the tracks. The feeling of climbing slowly to the top of those massive hills and then dropping down at incredible speeds is an adrenaline rush like no other. My kids and their friends absolutely loved the thrill of it all. One of the coolest parts about Cedar Point is just how many rides there are. Everywhere you look there's another roller coaster twisting through the air, another thrill ride spinning and flipping, or another attraction waiting to be explored. There's a great mix of rides too, so whether you like extreme coasters, classic rides, or more family-friendly attractions, there's something for everyone. The atmosphere throughout the park is really fun and energetic. You can hear people cheering, laughing, and screaming with excitement as the rides fly by overhead. Being right on Lake Erie also makes the setting really beautiful. There are some amazing views of the water while walking around the park, which adds to the whole experience. Now, I will say that Cedar Point can definitely be pricey. Tickets, food, and extras can add up pretty quickly when you're visiting with a group or family. The food itself was actually really good, but the food lines were extremely long at times. We definitely spent a good amount of time waiting in line just to grab something to eat. The ride lines were also pretty long, which is somewhat expected at such a popular amusement park. When you have some of the best roller coasters in the world, people are going to line up for them. Even though the wait times could be lengthy, the rides themselves were absolutely worth it once you finally got on. Despite the cost and the long lines, the experience overall was completely worth it. My family and my kids' friends had an absolute blast from the moment we walked into the park until the moment we left. There were so many laughs, so many screams from the roller coasters, and so many fun memories made throughout the day. Cedar Point truly is an iconic amusement park and a must-visit for anyone who loves thrill rides and roller coasters. It's exciting, energetic, and packed with attractions. Even with the long lines and higher prices, the fun and excitement make it a place our group will definitely remember and talk about for a long time. read more

Cedar Point - Amusement Parks Near Me - Sandusky, Ohio

This is a roller coaster fan's paradise! It has been on my bucket list for so long and I can finally knock it off my list of theme parks to visit. We were expecting the crowds to be pretty heavy since we went on a 4th of July weekend but was pleasantly surprised that it was pretty laid back. We bought the fast passes and ended up not really needing them. The rides are the best. They do specialize in roller coasters but they had some tame rides that my husband could enjoy (he's not into thrills). I had no idea that the park was located on the lake so you could be riding a ride next to the water. The views were amazing. They also provide games. While I was riding the rides my husband took advantage of the basketball game and we went home with 2 prizes. It's a theme park so everything is expensive. We easily spent over 200 dollars for the 2 of us including the tickets. Even though Cedar Point is not budget friendly, I highly suggest people still visit At-least once read more

It's always a blast @ Cedar Point. It was extra busy & full of so many ppl. It looked like half the state of Ohio was here. Also,there was a lot of tourists including me everywhere.I came for the spooky stuff specially. I'm not a rollercoaster kind of gal. I'm not about that upside down,spin around,scream until you blackout life.I get my thrills & chills from the haunted attractions. Rollercoasters are available though (just not my thing).The actresses & actors did a gr8 job in scaring me. They popped out of nowhere & scared the daylights out of me more than a couple of times.The props are high quality,top notch, & not cheesy b-rated movie like. It's a family tradition always to come around this time. & honestly I wouldn't miss it for the world. Once the sun goes down & the darkness takes over(on the weekends) Cedar Point transforms into Halloweekends & I'm def 100% here for it! read more

There are so many deals out there to experience the park, cost wasn't a problem for our group. We had pre-purchased tickets that included the cost of parking so when we arrived, that was one less thing to worry about. We also did the all day dining ($35) as well as the all day drink ($20). With the all day dining, you could stop every 90 minutes. While we didn't stop that often, one meal was almost the same value as one all day plan. We ended up using the dining plan 3 times. The drinks could be refilled every 15 minutes so we got our cost out of that as well. We shared both plans between 2 people and it was more than enough food/drink. Best food was easily the BBQ back by Camp Snoopy. As far as the rides, you can't go wrong. I think the longest our group waited was about an hour. There was plenty of shade for those that didn't ride. We spent about 12 hours in the park and easily did most of what the group wanted. Park and restrooms were clean, no matter where we were within the park. read more

A beautiful day at Cedar Point. A light breeze off the lake, bright blue sky, low humidity, and temperatures in the 70s. We received early entry because we were staying at Hotel Breakers. We were able to take advantage of short lines for several rides in the first hour, before the park opened. Steel Vengeance is still my favorite, and we were able to ride twice during the day at once at night with reasonably short lines. During the middle of the day all the longs were quite long so we went back to the Breakers to relax. We also got to enjoy the beach. Highly recommend staying at Hotel Breakers. Our favorite food in the park is always Happy Friar fries. Always perfect! read more

Private property that is part of Six Flags and overlooks Lake Erie. Best to prepay admission tickets, parking per vehicle, beverage wristbands, and meal plan online in advance. Will save a lot of time and money. We did some research and chose to visit on a Monday when it's not crowded. Highly recommend wearing lightweight cargo pants or shorts with zippered pockets to place any loose items like sunglasses, comfy UPF clothes pending on the weather, socks, lightweight shoes. If you must carry a waist bag or fanny pack, make sure you're able to turn it around on the side or behind your waist for riding roller coasters, ensure it's small just to fit your essentials. Employees operating the rides are strict and will make an announcement via PA system, "No cell phones and cameras allowed on the rides." There are roller coasters that will not allow anything in the pockets. Signs and announcements are posted and provided in advance. There are lockers available throughout the park and for certain thrill rides. I removed my prescription sunglasses for all of the rides. Restrooms are available throughout the park. Weather varied from overcast in the morning to sunny during peak afternoon hours. You're welcome to use their online app. My husband did periodically. I felt it wasn't necessary as I found everything that I wanted to ride and do. We didn't sign up for their Fast Pass. Average wait time ranged from 15 to 45 mins. We arrived at opening 10 AM and stayed until 7:30 PM. Prepaid beverage wristband came in handy. You're able to drink your choice of fountain Coca-Cola beverage every 15 minutes ranging from water, juice, iced tea, and/or carbonated beverages. Helped to keep us hydrated and quenched our thirst. We ate lunch at outdoor seating of Coasters Diner having cheeseburger with fries, choice of condiments, and choice of beverage. You're welcome to order frings, a combo of fries and onion rings. Cheeseburger and fries done right! My fave roller coaster/upside down rides were Valravn, Raptor, Maverick, Iron Dragon, Rougarou, GateKeeper, MaxAir for the breeze and windchill in your face. Calming rides: Ferris Wheel for the 360 degrees views. Sky Ride for the one way, short views. WindSeeker can enjoy the beautiful view of Lake Erie. Thunder Canyon which is fun and you'll get wet! My son is the best person to partner with for roller coaster rides. He's quiet the whole time until he said, "Mommy, how come you're screaming?" I said, "I have difficulty handling gravity and drops in my 40s." I'll admit I used to laugh only on roller coaster rides in my teens till mid 40s. Now I get motion sickness and whiplash after every roller coaster ride. I think I need to retire from riding roller coasters. My least faves were Steel Vengeance, Mean Streak. Sirens Curse was out of commission for the entire day and evening. Gift shop had a lot to offer. We bought a few gifts for relatives and ourselves. I wouldn't mind returning. read more

Travelled to Ohio for a family reunion and we had to make a pit stop to Cedar Point and dang glad we did! We came on Thursday before Labor Day weekend. While we opted for the fast pass, we really didn't need it except for a few rides only because the part started to get a little busier. I recommend staying at Hotel Breakers and getting the park passes included with the room. You get in an hour before the park opens. We were able To ride the BEST rides before traffic started picking up. Top Thrill 2, millennium force and sirens and raptor (I think those named correctly) were pure fun and surprisingly smooth rides for as fast as you go. The rides I would avoid if you don't like bumpy stuff are Blue steel, magnum xl and corkscrew. Every ride satisfied my thrill seeking soul though. We were in the park by 9 and done by 2 and rode everything with ease. read more

I last went to CP in July, 2018. I bought the Fast Lane Plus pass for $110 and it included ALL of the major rides. I waited no longer than a few minutes to board each ride. Admission with parking was only $45 together on a special deal. I got a chocolate shake at Chick-fil-a for $5.19. I also had a chili cheese Hot Dog at Pink's for $7.39. Total expenditure for a safe, clean day of amusement at CP was $167.58. Fast forward to yesterday, 08/01/2025. Parking was $37.80 for 1 vehicle. This was a HARSH, BUZZKILL to start the day! I had already spent $54 for 1 adult single day admission and $209 for Fast Lane Plus PREMIUM (to get ALL the major rides). So far, I had spent $315.11 after tax and had NOT HAD A SINGLE RIDE YET! This is almost DOUBLE what I paid just 7 years ago. THANKS BIDENFLATION! But now for the harsh reality. More people are willing to pay this exorbitant amount for the FLP because the horrific alternative is to wait 2 to 3 hours in line for a single roller coaster ride. So yesterday, instead of breezing through the turnstiles as I had 7 years ago, I was now WAITING in the FLP line for 45 minutes to 1 hour! So for a 12 hour park day (10am-10pm), I was only able to get on 15 rides. Food was expensive before, but now it is STUPID EXPENSIVE! I paid $9 for a 12 oz. chocolate milkshake. A small cheeseburger with a small fry at the same place would have been $19. I was not that hungry. BOTTOM LINE: CP is still a safe, clean, family friendly, world class amusement park. Each unique, thrilling ride is a marvel of engineering. Unfortunately, I no longer consider CP to be a good entertainment value for the amount of money I spent. I will go elsewhere for my adrenaline rush. read more

This amusement park on Lake Erie has some of the fastest, tallest coasters in the country, plus tons of other rides, and shows. I purposely plan an annual visit to see my Ohio family mid September just to attend Halloweekends. They have people walking around in spooky cosplay frightening everyone and some spooky house attractions. It's clean, well ran, Lines can get really long, but the energy is great and it's totally worth it. read more

If you are older or have special needs, there may not be much for you. I love this park have been coming here for 50 plus years. They have eliminated all family friendly rides and or shows. There are not places in the shade to sit. There are almost no air conditioned places either. The rollercoasters are the reason to attend. I waited 80 minutes for the Steel Vengence to beat me up. When I got off I thought I'd vomit. It's thrilling and fun but maybe my body can't take it anymore. Food is mediocre at best and pricey. $30for a burger with one side and a drink. If you love rollercoasers I highly recommend. read more

We visited for halloweekends and had a blast! The decorations and production put into the Halloween theme were impressive both during the daytime and at night. We loved all of the pumpkins and the fog, lights, walk-throughs and shows at night. I also appreciated the seasonal food and drinks. The only downside was that the park was super crowded and the wait for most of the rides was 45+ mins up to over 2.5 hours for the most popular coasters. We were there for 12 hours and only able to ride about 5 or 6 things. We'll come early in the season next time. read more

Cedar Point will always be one of my favorite places, I grew up coming here and so did the kids, but I don't love all of the changes, especially since the merger. Obviously, prices do need to go up, they were up everywhere, but they went up so much that it was cheaper buying a season pass than coming here for one day. Now, like many of the other theme parks, they have a different price for each day, no more standard price, so the prices online say "starting at" which means that is typically a day I cannot visit, like in the middle of the week, or when it is only open for six hours and not twelve, so it is deceiving. Next, you now have to pay EXTRA for the haunted houses once you get here for Halloween Horror Nights! That is insane, I have already paid to get in, you want up to $30 or more for me to enjoy something that was always included? The lines are so long as well, you might not even get your money's worth, plus some people need to pay even more for fast passes, so the amount you might spend is higher than other popular parks, plus you need to purchase an additional ticket for their Conjuring experience, which really looks fun, but still, I do not have that kind of money! So, I ended up getting a season pass, because with parking it would have cost more for one Halloween day, than for the entire year of coming here. I do plan on coming next year, but it has basically already paid for itself with the food and merch discounts, which I promptly used at their most amazing candy store. I did not end up getting the haunted house pass, but I did enjoy the scare zones and one complimentary walk through. Another issue I have though, is that a lot of their rides are continuously breaking down. We stood in line for several rides for an hour only to leave without riding them, wasting our time. I understand that is an issue at all parks, but it seemed to happen a lot on this day. Another complain I saw on this site, was there are less shows and less to do if you are not a thrill seeker, which a third to half of my party would like some calmer rides and shows. Perhaps build more rides for all? Still, I did have fun and do love the decorations and Halloween vibe, and I will be back next year. read more

Such a fun and big park with lots to do! I came to do mostly the roller coasters and my favorite was top thrill 2, mellenium force, sirens curse and maverick!! Just make sure to bring a fanny pack or you will have to pay to rent a locker for your bags which is $15! They do have a dining or drink package which helps which you get a wrist band but for the dining package you only can use it every 90 mins and comes with one entree and side! The soda package you can use every 15 mins at any refresh station!! I like how the parks are open late until 10pm because riding roller coasters at night is the best and it's pretty to look at all lit up! read more

Cedar Point - America's Roller Coast Sandusky, OH "Originally reviewed over 10 years ago. Updated now with the proper fanfare Cedar Point deserves." Let me start with a confession: My original review of Cedar Point from over a decade ago was a disservice to one of the greatest amusement parks in the world. A couple stars and one lonely sentence? Shameful. But hey, I was young... probably too busy devouring cheese fries and dodging seagulls to write anything decent. This update is long overdue. Because Cedar Point isn't just an amusement park. It's a cornerstone of my childhood, a rite of passage, a place so iconic they had to build it on its own peninsula. Let's do this right. Growing Up Next to Greatness I grew up just 15 minutes from Cedar Point. While most kids were begging their parents for one trip a summer, I could just hop in the car on a random Tuesday after school and hit the midway. Some people had malls--I had Millennium Force. * I still remember being too scared to ride the big coasters. * I remember the day my friends got me to ride Millennium Force--instant obsession. * I remember trips to the arcade, walking the boardwalk, and hitting up Famous Dave's on the lake. * I even remember the time we docked our boat there (briefly)--but realized the car was faster This was my backyard playground. And it shaped everything. From Guest to Crew - Full Circle at Hotel Breakers In 2015, it all came full circle: I joined the Cedar Point team as a Hotel Breakers front desk agent, later becoming a supervisor. I had the honor of welcoming families who were about to experience what I had growing up. * Hearing kids scream at the sight of GateKeeper out the window. * Watching tired parents beam with joy seeing the beach right outside their room. * Being part of something so special to so many. That wasn't just a job. That was a full-circle moment in my story. Let's Talk About These Coasters Cedar Point didn't get the nickname "America's Roller Coast" by accident. This place is a shrine to adrenaline. * Steel Vengeance - the reigning champ of hybrid coasters * Millennium Force - still gives me chills after all these years * Magnum XL-200, Raptor, Maverick, Valravn--they're legends for a reason * Oh, and Top Thrill 2? If you know, you know. Every ride has a story. Every story comes with a photo of you screaming with your arms in the air and a funnel cake waiting for you afterward. Not Just Coasters... You'll find way more than thrill rides here: * Cedar Point Shores: The water park gets better every year. Lazy river, wave pool, slides--it's got it all. * Adventure Park: Go-karts, mini-golf, and the SkyScraper that lets you freefall with a friend. * Dining: Classic park eats, plus lakeside gems like Famous Dave's with a view. * The Boardwalk: Newly enhanced with a retro vibe and perfect sunset views over Lake Erie. This park doesn't rest on its laurels. It evolves, surprises, and levels up. Elite Tips From a Local: Fast Lane Plus is worth every penny if you're short on time. Go midweek in May or late August--cooler temps, lighter crowds, happier you. Stay at Hotel Breakers: Early entry and a literal 2-minute walk from bed to coaster. Fries with malt vinegar on the midway = Cedar Point tradition. Get the photo pass. You'll thank yourself later. This Place Is Family Cedar Point is more than steel, tracks, and midway games. It's memories. It's the time I made my mom a mosaic hot plate at one of the family craft booths. It's the fireworks show over the water. It's the feeling of growing up next to magic. It's friends. First dates. Summer jobs. Sunburns. It's my dad, a passionate birder, lighting up during lakefront walks and nature programs. It's... home. Final Word Cedar Point is in a class of its own. A world-class park, yes--but also a place deeply embedded in my life. And now, I'm proud to give it the review it always deserved. Whether you're coming for thrills, nostalgia, or your own full-circle moment--Cedar Point is worth the ride. read more

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

HalloWeekend at CedarPoint Did you know that there was a Roller Coaster capital of the world? I mean it has to be somewhere, but I never knew where it was until I had the chance to visit there. The Roller Coaster capital of the world is CedarPoint in Sandusky, Ohio. It's also the home of Snoopy. Well, he's their official mascot I had the opportunity to hang out there two evenings in a row with some of my closest friends. It also happened to be Halloweekends. There are scare walks where ghosts, clowns, werewolves and more jump out at you. I wish I had video of Jeni running through the scare walk as they chased her. After the first night we learned that you can purchase a "no boo" necklace. It's a pumpkin that lights up and tells them not to scare you. It's great for kids, but I will tell you that they teased Jeni about not needing it and some chased her anyways. There are also haunted houses and halloween attractions. We did two of them. The first was the Eternity Infirmary and it was a super scary haunted house. And by scary I mean jump out in the dark and scare you half to death wet your pants scary. The other one was the corn maze. It was suspenseful scary and lots of fun. If you're looking for something spooktacular this Halloween, check out CedarPoint! read more

The Good - Clean Park. Friendly Service. Great Rides. Good price if you buy in advance. We went in mid-May and most rides were 15 minutes or less wait. The newer / bigger coasters were 30 minutes to an hour. The Bad - * I bought the dining pass not knowing they have very limited vegetarian options. A lot of places have no vegetarian options and the places that did was cheese pizza (or variation of cheese pizza.. cheese on a stick, etc). * They have some rides you can't take a bag, wallets, phone etc... and they charge you / force you get a locker. Personally I feel like if someone has already paid to be in the park, forced use of lockers should be free. read more

Went for the first time after school started and there were only long lines for about 3 coasters. Stayed at breakers which was also awesome! The boardwalk is right there and it's a short walk to the park and water park as well. The downfall is most all of the entertainment was gone so, nothing going on at night but the upside was i think we went on every single ride!!!! Ate food, relaxed in the water at the beach. Went to the water park(which was half closed bcuz of staffing) but even with a few closures there is literally so much to do it filled our two days!!! Maverick was by far my favorite coaster!! It had the longest line but was worth every minute of waiting!! read more

Season Pass holder here. We love CP and all of the rides. We just finished up a Saturday night for Halloweekends, and we're very underwhelmed with all of the haunted attractions this year. Would have thought that we now have to pay extra for these things now you would think they would get better but that's not the case, There were minimal "Scarers". We waited in line for over an hour and a half for the cornstalker 2.0, and 5 min later after walking through it to Wish I hadn't wasted my time on any of these attractions. Should have just stuck to riding the rides like usual. Love CP but Halloweekends is a waste. read more

So, I've been going here pretty much my whole life with the first memory here being in 2003. Definitely seen many changes since, but it will always hold a soft spot no matter what. I have noticed in my most recent visit that the operations don't seen to be as efficient as in the past (Millennium Force was only running one train) and seemed like rides kept breaking down more than usual (we actually got stuck on Wild Mouse for about 20 minutes). But the staff really seem to be doing what they can. And we've always made the best of it. read more

We usually go every 2 years here. If you tend to go in mid May, as the crowds are not too bad, but the water rides are still closed like Thunder Canyon and the boat ride is closed. I ended up going to park for 3.5 days. A half day on Saturday, full days from Sunday to Tuesday on May 18 to 21. If you are a gold pass member with all of the parks or staying in the hotel or have membership above you can get into the park an hour early. You can ride Millennium Force, Gatekeeper, Wild Mouse and I forgot the other rides. But this will keep you entertained for an hour. I wish they would open the gates after the national anthem as that is the sign when the park is officially opened like others (Knott's and Kings Island) We were looking forward to riding Top Thrill 2, but the ride was closed indefinitely and was looking forward to riding this, but heard the line does move slow. I can not wait to go back and ride this ride and you have to buy a locker. What changed since last visit, they got a new mouse ride, Wild Mouse. I felt the ride was okay and fun for a family spinning ride and it is a ride I would go on again. They have the new restaurant out by the shore which is nice. The restaurant is nice as well as I tend to eat there every visit as I like sitting next to the ocean. However, when it is hot and not windy, it is unbearable to eat there. They do have an upstairs with a restroom. Crowd control was okay, we did have the typical teen cutters as they have 2 friends hold the line and all of a sudden 20 of them show up. I wish they did have more taps to cover the entire line and not partial lines. I do enjoy going to the farm house near Maverick as I like getting the steak. One thing to know is that Maverick and Steel Vengeance does break down quite a bit and usually down time is around 30 minutes to an hour. The other thing too is if you have fast lane it is quite a pretty penny $120 and even with that you will be waiting 30 minutes per the ride and does not guarantee you get on right away. I noticed it dies down an hour before the park closes. I think I went into depth of the rides and my ranking did not change. Anyways a great place to visit with a lot of fun. read more

Look, you can scroll through any number of fantastic full page reviews by people, so I will just say a few things here. I took my sons and some of their friends here for their Senior Trip and it delivered. This was a great vacation spot for teenage boys. Even my wife and I found our handful of less intense rides to enjoy together. Don't expect Cedar Point to have the theme and spectacle of say Disneyland or Universal Studios. The on board coaster and ride experiences are where this park shines. The one caveat to this is that to have a truly amazing day, you have to get the Fast Lane (+/-plus), Meal, and Drink passes. Ticket/passes total $200-250 depending on the day of the week. With these, 2 days was enough to really see and experience most of what Cedar Point has to offer. read more

They don't deserve the bad reviews. All of my trips here have been amazing! My favorite rides are Millie, Gatekeeper, Raptor, Gemini, literally all the coasters besides the ones I haven't been on. I haven't been on sirens curse, Maverick, or top thrill 2 yet but I'm sure it will be amazing! My trips here are awesome! Please go here for yourself! Good for family as well since there are a lot of things for you to do. Flat rides are good for the kiddos and coasters are good for the adults and kids who can ride. But if your kid is tall enough for a ride please inch them up before you go to one that she or he is afraid of. Since my dad made that mistake and scared me off from coasters. But my sister helped with that fear. Anyways! This park is the best park everrrr! Bad reviews shut up! read more

Absolutely one of the really great parks in the country. Especially if you love roller coasters! Being from eastern central Indiana I grew up being a kings island devotee and that remains But cedar point Definately has them bear when it comes to roller coasters. This might be the best park in the country for such enthusiasts Now as usual for places like this there are the same complaints. Being held hostage by high prices when you get in the park and I'm not a big fan of the "fast lane" lines. It makes it almost pointless on a busy day because of the time spent in lines. Not exactly "unjust" but should give one pause However the staff was so nice and helpful and we had just a fantastic time! Plenty of attractions here and worth going! read more

The park was great. There were four of us and our focus was roller coasters. We rode The Raptor, Millinieum Force, Top Thrill 2, Maverick, Steel Vengeance, Siren's Curse, Iron Dragon, and Gate Keeper. Maverick was definitely a favorite of our group. The newest rides were very smooth, but the older rides were also great. The wait times were not too bad, except for Siren's Curse, which got and felt a little lengthy. I think it is possible to ride them all if you stayed from open to close, but we were getting a bit tired about 2/3 of the way in. We went on a Sunday in July. We got the burgers and fries about halfway in and they were actually pretty decent. They also offer a all-you-can-refill souvenir cup for $20, which was nice to quench your thirst. It was disappointing that the tickets were more expensive at the gate than online. In the moment, I forgot, and we ended up overpaying by a significant amount (about $30-$40 per ticket) even with my husband's military discount,, which really put a sour note on our whole day. Overall, a wonderful time. read more

Cedar Point was on my Bucket List for 40 years. It exceeded every expectation I had. The rides (from the mega coasters to the horse race carousel) were the most fun I've ever had. The grounds were immaculate and the décor for Halloweekend was on point. Best of all though were the staff, from the ticket takers to the ride operators to security. Friendly, knowledgeable, and really took pride in doing a job well done. My highest recommendation. There's something on America's Roller Coast for everyone. read more

Cedar Point - Amusement Parks Near Me - Sandusky, Ohio

Welcome back, riders! How was your ride? As someone who lives in Michigan about 2 hours away from America's Roller Coast, I've been coming to Cedar Point for my entire life. I love all the coasters and I love that it's truly a family kind of place. There is something for everyone to do -- no matter their age. Kids can have fun and explore Camp Snoopy or Kiddy Kingdom. Teens (and adults) can ride all the coasters and thrill rides to their hearts content. If you're wanting a slower day, there's shows to watch, games to play and plenty of stores and restaurants to stop at. I would say I *love* roller coasters -- to an extent. There's a few here that I'll go on, but still regret it for the jerking on my neck. Again, there's 17 coasters here so you're bound to found one you like or dislike. Raptor, Iron Dragon and Rougarou are great if you're just getting into coasters. If heights are your favorite, I suggest conquering Millennium Force, Magnum, Valravn or Steel Vengeance. I recently came here with my family of 6. We opted for Preferred Parking (perfect if you plan on being there all day and now wanting to walk to your car after a long park day!) Took us about a minute to get to our car from the gate. We also opted for Fast Pass Plus since we wanted to make the most out of our day here. Currently, Fast Pass Plus includes all the coasters / rides as the regular Fast Pass and also includes Millennium Force, Valravn, Top Thrill 2 (which hasn't been open yet this season), Maverick and Steel Vengeance. For an extra $30, we paid extra and I would say it was 100% worth it. Definitely check to see what rides are open that day if you're hesitant. We went on a Tuesday in August on a beautiful sunny day. The longest we had to wait for a line for about 25 minutes. Fast Pass Plus really made it worth it! My boyfriend and I were able to ride Valravn 3 times in a row with zero wait! If time is important and you're only going to be there a day or two, Fast Pass Plus saves you so much time so you can make the most out of your day! I also recommend splurging on All Day Dining and All Day Drinks as well. With drinks, you're able to get a drink every 15 minutes! No more carrying drinks all day and them getting hot. Get a new cup in 15 minutes and your problem is gone! Huge points for having Coke products! All Day Dining is great because you get an entree, side / snack every 90 minutes. Ride a few rides and then grab some food. Repeat all day. My only issue is there's not that great signage about it at restaurants. I would suggest bringing a map or printing off the info from the CP website prior to your visit. We had lunch at Coasters (typical fair food -- chicken tenders, fries, chicken sandwiches, onion rings) and all were happy. If you're in a large group like us, you can also save money by not getting everyone a dining pass because the portions are great to split amongst a few people. We had dinner at Panda Express (my first time) The dining pass includes one entree and side. Most opted for Orange Chicken and rice, but Kung Pao Chicken or Beef and Broccoli is also included. Your available sides are rice, chow main and fried rice. Again -- great deal! All Day Dining is about $40 and we used it a bunch so it pays for itself! Another deal is the pay for the day locker option. For $12, you can snag a locker and use it all day. It's great because you pay for a locker, but can use various locations across the park without paying again. My favorite coaster during my visit was Steel Vengeance. I haven't been able to ride it since the Mean Streak days. I didn't know what to expect but WOW! So thrilling! So much air time! The drops! Such a smooth ride compared to Mean Streak. I cannot wait to come back and ride again! Fast Pass Plus made it easy to ride multiple times during the visit. We finished off our park day with ice cream and sweet treats (thanks to the amazing people at the Ice Cream Parlor who really made use of our "single scoop cake cone" included with our Dining Pass! -- another huge potion!) My only disappointment for the day was how rude some of the workers were. Didn't seem happy to be there, could barely understand what they were saying to you. Some would get mad at you for going in a lane for a coaster when they didn't even tell you which spot to stand at. Overall, great day and can't wait to go back! read more

Two things on bucket list from the moment signed up relay IMOhio 70.3. One was Cedar Points the MECCA for roller coasters amusement parks in USA. It not only lived up to the hype but blew me away! If u like roller coasters and bit of adrenaline junky. Cedar Points is must in one's lifetime. I have been to Disneyland, Knott Berry, and Six Flags Magic Mountain. All have there own personality. Cedar Points blew all of them away. The size of the place is huge just looking at the map thinking at Disneyland. Not only roller coasters next to it water park take day not get it all in. Kiddie rides. Gondola take looks over the whole park. Carnival style games and never really checked out the food. We bite at this French fries spot. Good. The park opens at 10-10pm. We tried go that long but after race weekend solid 8hours and got in the rides wanted to we both good. It lot like Disneyland they have fast pass and overall park fills up average ride wait over hour. So tough get it all in. My top two was Millennium Force and Steel Vengeance. Dragster was the only disappointment. Only because it was shut down and reconstruction not ready till next year. Hyped up. Still got the ones wanted and it was amazing! Epic way finish race weekend in Sandusky, Ohio!!! read more
