One of my absolute favorite places in the world is Cedar Point, located in Sandusky, Ohio.
Cedar Point is an amusement park, which started out over 100 years ago as a public beach, or watering hole, as they were called.
Through the years, Cedar Point has evolved, and at one point during the Great Depression, devolved. But all of those years brought us what Cedar Point is today: The BEST Roller Coaster Park ANYWHERE.
For several years now, CP has been voted #1 in many categories for amusement parks: best rides, best coasters, best park, etc.
The park is clean, for starters. Many employees walk around cleaning up trash they find, and there are trash cans every 10-15 feet or so.
The coasters are awesome, with many record breaking coasters in the park. They also have a few older, less impressive coasters, which still have their fans.
With 16 coasters, and a possible 17th under construction currently, this park draws coaster fanatics from around the world. People will travel from all over just to have a chance to conquer the Millenium Force, a mammoth steel coaster which decorates the skyline of CP, or Top Thrill Dragster, the tallest coaster of it's kind, with a 400 foot drop at nearly a straight drop.
There are even 2 roller coasters made just for kids, Woodstock Express, and the Jr. Gemini.
This park deserves at least a week long trip to explore all the nooks and crannies fully, but even just 1 solid 12 or 13 hour day will do it.
If you live anywhere near it, or in a bordering state, I HIGHLY recommend going for a day or two.
