This past weekend Chaz and I, and our good friends Greg and Jess, took a fun mini-holiday to Cedar Point! It is a theme park located in Sandusky, Ohio, right on the edge of Lake Eerie! The park itself was built on a peninsula, but is not crammed together at all. It literally has some of the best coasters I've ever been on!
Cedar Point is a 364-acre amusement park/resort that is home to the most rides (75) and roller coasters (17) on Earth. With a history dating back to 1870, Cedar Point is the second oldest amusement park in North America. ~ CedarPoint.com
The hotel we stayed at, Castaway Bay, was massive and less than a mile away from the park! It also boasted its own indoor water park that we definitely took advantage of, hehe. You had to buy tickets for it, but once inside we rode the water slides, jumped around in the wave pool and then chilled out in the large 50-person hot tub! Very relaxing after a day of walking. 
Cedar Point itself was one of the best theme parks I've ever been to! As I mentioned before, although it's located on a rather small peninsula of land on Lake Eerie, it is hardly claustrophobic. 
It's limitations actually allow for it to have a really unique layout. Most of the rollercoasters are built spread out across the area and over several smaller rides! So, while riding a coaster, you are really "going somewhere" instead of just rolling back and forth in a twisty jumble like average coasters.
My favorite coasters in order: Maverick, Millennium Force, Raptor, and Magnum XL-200! If you ever go to the park, make sure you ride those four at least! Also, Chaz and Greg will swear up and down that Top Thrill Dragster is the best ride in the park, so don't forget that one. 
The only reason I didn't ride it was because Jess and I both weren't feeling all that great so we decided to just hang back and watch. I got an awesome video of the guys on the ride though! 
Overall, we had a blast! I highly recommend the park to anyone who loves thrilling rollercoasters! I'd also recommend you try to stay at one of the hotels located inside the park because they all have beach access to the lake. We'll probably do that if we go again. Cedar Point also has a water park that has gotten rave reviews as well. Didn't have time for that, but definitely for next time!
Check out all my photos of the trip! There are also four videos as well: two from a bike show, one of this creepy clown game, and one of the Dragster ride. Bottom line, Cedar Point is awesome and I definitely needed the vacation.
Too bad Cedar Point is too far away, it sounds like fun! 
I’m gonna look at the the pictures now 
My friend and I actually kept saying that exact thing over and over while we were at the park!
You know you’re a geek when you talk about how things in RL would work in a game.
