A trip to Cedar Point

The pure thrill of excitement that you get from taking a trip to Cedar Point is worth the two and a half hour drive down. Located in Sandusky Ohio, Cedar Point, opened in 1870, has been awarded best amusement park in the entire United States, and is still continuing to expand today.  

 

Cedar Point is known for one thing and one thing only, their eighteen world famous and record breaking roller coasters.  Maverick, reaching speeds of over 70 mph, with a 90 angled degree drop, the number one ranked roller coaster in the park Millennium Force, reaching an incredible height of 310 feet tall with a 300 foot drop, and the fastest coaster in the park, Top Thrill Dragster, this coaster reaches 420 feet at a speed of 120 miles per hour, along with many more thrilling rides. Their newest attraction to 2013 was the Gate Keeper that has also broken records in its own, it is the first winged coaster that reaches speeds up to 64 mph.  But don’t you worry there are plenty of rides to accommodate for all ages. Cedar Point houses a large assortment of other attractions that include three different water rides, old time cars, a variety of different shows, and my favorite the Cedar Downs racing horses.

 

 

 

Cedar Point also has a variety of different restaurants and food stops throughout the park. My favorite place to go and eat is Johnny Rockets, being a sit down restaurant they have a large menu to look at, but my recommendation would have to be the hamburgers, they are so delectable and they allow you to dress it with whatever you like, and the best part they’re the most reasonable priced restaurant in the park. My favorite fast food restaurant would have to be the Chick-Fil-A, their waffle fires are to die for and there chicken sandwiches are simply amazing.         

After a long day well spent in the park it is always nice to go back to your hotel room, turn on your television and relax, to ready yourself for another fun filled day at the park. Now some hotels around that area are run down and not very good to say at, that’s why when I go I only stay on Cedar Point Resorts. I usually stay at the Breakers Express which is located a little ways out of the park. It has nice comforting rooms to well fit about five people, the rooms come with two queen beds, a television set, and along with a large bathroom. This is in my opinion the cheapest cedar point owned hotel. You also have to option to stay at the Breakers Hotel, located right next to the Magnum XL-200. Sitting right on the lake Eire shore side, this hotel features both an outdoor and indoor swimming area, along with two hotel restaurants and convenient access to the park.

Cedar Point will always be a part of my life, it has really allowed me to just get away and let loose from everyday living I always recommend taking a trip there as often as you can. It in my opinion is the best stress relief I can give myself.
