Cedar Point is one of the oldest continuously operating amusement parks, having begun in the year 1870 as a beach resort on the shore of Lake Erie. Today it covers 364 acres and is home to some of the tallest, fastest roller coasters in the world, including '''Top Thrill Dragster''' and '''Millennium Force'''. Altogether it has more than 70 rides. Without doubt, Cedar Point is one of the best amusement parks in the world. It is a '''MUST''' for any serious thrillseeker out there, offering the second largest number of roller coasters found in a single amusement park (17 altogether, and second to [[Six Flags Magic Mountain]] with 19). Although its primary attraction is the assortment of coasters, the park has rides and other attractions, including kiddie rides, water rides, a traditional arcade, award-winning musical shows, and a ''Peanuts''-themed ice skating show, etc. The park also offers access to a lovely beach on Lake Erie—something which has been attracting visitors since the park's inception.

One can easily spend a full day at Cedar Point itself. If you plan to take in all the attractions, you should buy the two-day "Ride and Slide" ticket and spread your enjoyment of Soak City and Cedar Point over two days. If you are coming on a busy day (weekends especially in the summer), make sure to plan time to wait in line, as some lines such as Millennium Force, Maverick, Top Thrill Dragster, and Valravn can be up to two hours.
