Yesterday, I had the chance to spend the day at Cedar Point with my son and my two grandchildren,…read moreand we had an absolutely wonderful time making family memories! My son and grandchildren have season passes, and we were lucky enough to use a guest pass. They also have the dining plan and unlimited drinks, which you can get every 15 minutes--definitely a nice perk on a day at the park! The grandkids had a blast exploring the rides in Camp Snoopy and Planet Snoopy. Since it was the first day of school in Sandusky, the park was only slightly busy, which made the day even better. We were able to enjoy the park without dealing with huge crowds and long waits. We stopped for lunch at A Place, which has a variety of food options. I went with the chicken tenders and chose waffle fries as my side. The chicken tenders were delicious! But my favorite memory of the day had to be riding the Churchill Downs Racing Horses--the carousel that spins incredibly fast! It was a lot of fun and definitely one of those rides that makes you feel like a kid again. Overall, it was a fantastic day at Cedar Point. The rides, the food, and especially spending time with my son and grandchildren made it a day I won't forget. Sometimes the best part of an amusement park isn't the rides--it's the memories you make with the people you love

It's been 20 years since my last visit. Same place, but different. This visit was late August 2026…read more Maverick is where White Water Landing used to be. Ocean Motion is where Demon Drop used to be. Gatekeeper is where Disaster Transport and Space Spiral used to be. Valravn is where a theater and some flat rides used to be. Mean Streak was rebuilt into Steel Vengeance. The Grand Pavillion and Wild Mouse are where Wicked Twister used to be. Siren's Curse is where a stage and the last WildCat used to be. Steel Vengeance, Top Thrill 2 and Siren's Curse have metal detectors. You're forced to leave the contents of your pockets in a locker. Thankfully I got to keep my belt and glasses (with Cedar Flags branded retention strap). I get why. The Bozos that would toss stuff at the opposing train on Dueling Dragons / Dragon Challenge at Universal Florida really ruined it for everybody. I'm surprised I didn't have to sign a pledge not to try to high five the other train before boarding Gemini. The variety and quality of the food has improved. The daily dining plan they occasionally offer is a value if you're staying open to close. I would't call any of it health food, but there are some not terrible options for those watching their figure or trying to avoid the punishment for putting on weight courtesy of Steel Vengeance. Speaking of Steel Vengeance...I thought Skyrush aka Thighcrush at Hershey Park hurt. It's got nothing on Steel Vengeance. I thought Intamin was full of nutters, but RMC makes them look stone cold sane. Hershey Park supposedly fixed Skyrush, Cedar Point needs to do something about Steel Vengeance. Or put up signs, sell thigh cushions, or retrain the ride ops. Something. It was like getting repeatedly hit in the thighs with a baseball bat. I kid you not. I used to be a bit pudgy, but I lost 100 pounds and got in shape. I have a 32 inch waist. Maybe that's my problem, I lost too much thigh fat. Not that it helped on Skyrush. I don't know if I got a mad stapler ride op or what, but it was one and done for me. Was in the front row even, not the back. I had trouble walking afterwards. I was so sore I couldn't enjoy Millennium Force or Top Thrill 2. I should have gone to First Aid and shook them down for ice packs. Speaking of Top Thrill 2. New trains. They still fuss about folks putting arms up pre-launch, but of course everybody still does it after the launch cycle starts. Anybody with any sense puts their arms down before going over the top, especially in the back. If you are hanging out of your seat when you hit that first twist on the way down, you're going to get a good crack to your spine. The new trains just have lap bars. Have they been messing with the belts on Millennium Force? I thought they were as short as they could get but apparently not. The ride ops pretty much do them for you now to save time. As well as the lap bar. If you've got a 36+ inch waist, good luck. It seems assigned seating is the rule rather than the exception. It can be tough to collect a front or back seat unless it's right after open or right before close. Unless you find a cool ride op and the platform isn't full. Fast Lane / Fast Lane Plus is pretty much required now unless the park is deserted. The more crowded the park is the more expensive it is. They even admit it, the non-fastlane queue for TT2 is labelled 'standby'. All season drink bottles have been a thing for a while now. If you're going to sell them you need to have a spot to leave them. Had to dump them for Blue Streak. Seems to be a legacy Cedar Fair Issue, legacy Six Flags has bottle holders almost everywhere. I'll admit I'm getting old, but this trip just hurt. My thighs, my back and my wallet. Were the massive thrills worth it? Possibly not. Reminds me of the time I stayed at the Hotel Breakers for a whole week when the original Top Thrill opened, trying to catch a ride. I was not successful. This trip feels like a dud, too, but for different reasons. I'll be back, if only because I can hear my younger self telling me I've gotten old and soft. I'll have a better plan and will see about losing more weight. I've got the waist size I graduated high school with, but a few extra pounds, and as much as I wish it were so, not all of it is muscle. Potential visitors, learn from my mistakes. Cedar Point, put more padding on those restraints on Steel Vengeance and maybe some kind of indicator to prevent stapling. Invest in some drink bottle holder stands, too. Go tour the legacy Six Flags parks Cedar Flags didn't sell and see how handy those are.

Of the classic coasters at Cedar Point, Millennium Force has always been a favorite of mine! I love…read morethe speed this coaster has, the high first drop, the tunnels, and the fact that there are no loops nor corkscrews. The thrill lies solely in the speed and heights. This is a belt and lap-bar only coaster. I love that this coaster has views of the lake and the park. The way up starts a normal speed but then quickens halfway. The wait times can be longer for this ride so I would prioritize finding the pockets of the day there might be a lull (first thing in morning, lunch, evening). Pro Tip: This coaster had significantly shorter belts than other coasters. Be sure to check the test chair before waiting in line if you are midsized. My belt JUST snapped.

Greg's Coaster Collection: Ride #1 - Millennium Force…read moreCategory: Thrill Coaster | Rating: 5/5 | Best For: Adrenaline Junkies & Coaster Enthusiasts | Wait Time: You can spot Millennium Force from miles away -- it's the Statue of Liberty of Cedar Point's skyline. That 310-foot lift hill dominates the view, and the first drop is a jaw-dropping 300 feet at an 80-degree angle. Once you crest the top, hang on -- you're hitting speeds up to 93 mph with airtime hills, sweeping turns, and postcard views of Lake Erie. The ride is glass-smooth, fast from start to finish, and still one of the greatest coasters ever built. Ride Stats: 6,595 feet of track * 93 mph top speed * 300-foot drop * 2 minutes 20 seconds ride time Best Seat: Front row for the view, back row for the airtime Pro Tip: Lines are shortest right after the park opens or during the last hour of operation. Photo-Worthy? Yes, especially at the first drop and lift hill -- a must for coaster fans with cameras.

There's eight activities to do here including a haunted house, escape room, XD dark ride, mini golf, roller skating, and a bounce house - you could definitely spend a few hours here. If you're going to do at least two of the activities, consider doing one of the passes rather than paying individually. Place is clean and fairly large.

Luckily when we waited it ended up being about 45 minutes. What makes this ride unique is the 90 degree tilt at the beginning. The rest of the ride is a combo of barrel rolls and high speed turns. I think I would've enjoyed the ride more if the queue had more shade. By the time you're at the front you're exhausted from the heat. This is a ride where you cannot bring anything with you. There are small complimentary lockers right before the metal detectors.

So I'm going to say that the ride itself is exhilarating and fun but the fact that it's only 1 minute long is a bummer. I wouldn't find myself waiting to ride this for longer than a half hour. Not going to waste time in a line for a ride that's not very long. But the whole theme of it is pretty original. When I'm not on it and you hear the noises, it can be deceiving of what the noises are but when youre on the coaster you realize it's like... sound affects of sirens singing! The whole 90 degree shift hold and drop is epic and worth the lack of time in the ride but it's honestly disappointing how short it is.

Greg's Coaster Collection: Ride #2 - Maverick Category:…read moreThrill Coaster | Rating: 5/5 | Best For: Coaster Enthusiasts & Adventure Seekers | Wait Time: Maverick is hands down one of my favorite coasters at Cedar Point. It's got this wild, untamed wilderness vibe that perfectly fits its name. The first lift hill leads into a jaw-dropping 95-degree drop that instantly wakes you up, followed by crazy, whip-fast turns that keep your heart racing the entire ride. The sleek design, bold colors, and overall atmosphere make it feel like you're on a roller coaster adventure through the backcountry. One of my favorite moments is the unexpected launch underneath the station that shoots you toward the water section -- it's a rush like no other. Like Millennium Force, Maverick's iconic silhouette is visible from the road as you approach the park, a beacon of thrills calling you in. Ride Stats: 4,450 feet of track * 70 mph top speed * 95-degree drop * 2 minutes 30 seconds ride time Best Seat: Front row for pure speed, back row for maximum airtime Pro Tip: Avoid the midday crowds -- rope drop or the last ride of the night means way less waiting. Photo-Worthy? Absolutely, especially near the first drop and water section. Personal Note: This coaster quickly became my favorite at Cedar Point for its unique mix of wild design and intense thrills. Every ride feels like a new adventure, and that launch under the station still gets me every time.

Blue Streak is an important part of Cedar Point history with it being their oldest roller coaster. There was a storage bin to put your belongings, so that was a plus! I enjoyed every aspect of this coaster. It did have some shaking on the track, but that was expected. The first drop felt great! I feel that this coaster is a classic and I'm glad it's appreciated! Overall, Blue Streak was an excellent way to start off my day. I'm glad I chose to ride this one first. I can't wait to ride it again! Date of visit: 07/25/2023

Greg's Coaster Collection: Ride #6 - Magnum XL-200 Category:…read moreThrill Coaster | Rating: 4/5 | Best For: Coaster Nostalgics & Thrill Seekers | Wait Time: (moderate wait) Magnum XL-200 is a true Cedar Point legend -- one of the park's signature attractions and a pioneer of the giga coaster era. Sure, it's got a bit of a bumpy ride, but hey, that's part of its charm. With its classic tunnels, big hills, and those memorable moments of speed, it still delivers a solid thrill. One of my favorite parts is the slow climb up the lift hill -- it gives you a chance to take in some of the best views of the park and the surrounding area. Not much else to say except it's a timeless ride that's worth experiencing at least once. Ride Stats: 5,106 feet of track * 72 mph top speed * 205-foot drop * 2 minutes 15 seconds ride time Best Seat: Front row for the view, middle for smoothest ride Pro Tip: Ride early or during parades to avoid crowds. Photo-Worthy? Yes, especially around the tunnels and big hills. Personal Note: Magnum XL-200 may rattle a bit, but it's a cornerstone of Cedar Point's history and still a must-ride for coaster fans.

Then you dive down and go through an exciting and exhilarating course that includes a close call with the front entrance gate. That makes this coaster a must-ride while at Cedar Point. Just don't ride it in the morning because, since it is at the front of the park and visible from the front entry, everyone goes to Gatekeeper first. Wait until later in the day and the lines will be shorter.
