New for 2007:
Maverick Launched Terrain Coaster
Read my review of the unusual coaster.
While the Point revels in its past and offers a wonderful hint of nostalgia, it is utterly contemporary and boasts a beloved thrill machine arsenal that includes Magnum XL-200, the first hypercoaster to break the 200-foot threshold, Millennium Force, a 300-foot "Giga-coaster" and one of parkdom's most highly rated, and the 420-foot rocket coaster that dominates the skyline, Top Thrill Dragster. A dizzying assortment of other attractions includes virtually every spinning, soaking, swinging, and disorienting ride ever developed. Although the rides take center stage, Cedar Point also offers a decent lineup of stage shows.
More than a collection of world-class coasters and rides, Cedar Point has a well-deserved reputation for its overall guest experience. The park is always winning industry and fan-based awards.
Be aware that the park is HUGE. From the front entrance to the back of the park where Maverick beckons is 1.5 miles. (I should know; I left an item in the lockers by the main gate and had to make the 3-mile round-trip trek to retrieve it.) Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and plan your day so that your'e not criss-crossing the park.
The food is just OK at Cedar Point. Some people rave about the fries and pizza; I thought they were mediocre. There is a Johnny Rockets and an all-you-can-eat buffet inside the park; just outside the gates is a Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que.
In recent years, Cedar Point has been adding rooms to its on-site hotels and transforming into a destination resort. Accommodations include the historic Hotel Breakers, Sandcastle, Lighthouse Point, and Breakers Express. With the Castaway Bay Indoor Water Park Resort, Cedar Point now offers year-round fun.
