Cedar Point has been voted best park on the planet for many years now. I don't know who votes, but it definitely is a great amusement park.
A ton of rollercoasters and all manner of other types of rides. Amusement park food and games. Also a water park that does cost extra.
Going to Cedar Point for the day is expensive. Admission is regularly $44.95 per person, though discount tickets are available at many Cleveland area businesses, and the park does run periodic specials as well. The food is terribly expensive - though you can picnic in the area just outside the gates. Your park admission also does not include the toll for the causeway, or parking. Beer is overpriced as well, and you are no longer permitted to wander the park with your alcoholic beverages - you must stay in the "beer garden". This is nothing more than a strip of concrete with picnic tables. You can also order alcohol in some of the eat in restaurants, but you cannot leave with it.
Lines are sometimes very long - expect at least an hour wait for the Millenium Force, and longer for the Top Speed Dragster, if it's running the day you are there. This coaster seems to have a lot of days off, as it did when I was there in June.
