Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio: Take the Time to See this Amusement Park

If you have not been to Cedar Point, you are missing out on one of the best Amusement Parks in the world. Other parks might have scores of cartoon characters and a few worthwhile coasters, but Cedar Point dwarfs them all.

Cedar Point is located in Sandusky, Ohio. It is not too far off Interstates 80/90 and it is one of the best places to see in Ohio. The park opens in May and is open all summer long. The park even remains open for weekends through October. Hours and days the park is open vary by the time of the season, so be sure to check their website for those details.

If going in the summer doesn't work, you can always go in the fall. Cedar Point is open ever weekend in October with Halloweekends. The park gets a spooky make over and there are even some haunted houses.

The one thing that really makes Cedar Point stick out is that is has so many great coasters. There is not just one or two that you have to ride. Cedar Point has many really awesome coasters and rides for you to enjoy. Coasters like the Magnum, Raptor, Millennium Force and Dragster will thrill you. Older but still classic coasters like the Blue Streak and the Gemini are still great fun. With so many options it could take all day to navigate the park. The park also has rides and play areas for younger vistors too. They even have Snoopy there too!

If you go to Cedar Point, the best way to ensure you will see the whole park is to have a game plan. If you randomly just bounce from ride to ride. The park has a midway and then it is set up in a big circle. Your best bet is to pick a starting point. Pick the ride you want to ride the most and start there. If you get there when the park opens, that is usually the best time to ride to more popular coasters. The lines will usually be a little shorter then. From there pick out a direction an start making your away around the circle. The Blue Streak and the Raptor are both on the midway, but you can wait and do those two coasters last. The Raptor is much more fun at night anyway! Not to mention that since it is one of the first big coasters visitors come across upon entering the park, its line is usually pretty long. At night the line eases up a bit.

Be prepared. Do not eat your way through the park. This will be costly. Wear comfortable shoes. Sandals are fine, but make sure your shoes are secure. You do no want to lose them on a ride. You can do your hair and make up, but after a few rides it will not matter anyway. Bring a hair brush and an extra hair tie if you have long hair. Do not forget the sunscreen! If it is a hot day, bring a water bottle and be sure to stay hydrated. If it is a cool day dress appropriately. If it is even a somewhat cool day, remember that the park is on Lake Erie. That breeze of the lake will make it feel even cooler. Once the sun goes down, it can be downright chilly. That brings up another point, if you do ride a water ride, be sure to have dry clothes or do it well before sundown.
