There is still plenty of time this year to enjoy the thrill that can only be found at Cedar Point, the Roller Coaster Capital of the World. Cedar Point holds this title because it has the most roller coasters in the world! Plus, they have more rides than any other amusement park.
If you are like me, you can start to feel the adrenaline start to rush as soon as you see Lake Erie, you know Cedar Point is just moments away. There are so many choices once you walk through the gates. Do you head straight for the newest, most popular rides or ride each ride as you walk the park?! We can never resist and walk past perfectly good rides to save for later! We work our way from the front to the back!
I wrote an article earlier this summer Is Cedar Point a Good Place for Young Kids and Families? Check it out if you have asked yourself this same question. Here is a hint – YES! My 3 and 5 year olds never stopped smiling and laughing the entire time we were at Cedar Point! There were plenty of rides for them to ride and parents can ride with them on many.
Cedar Point is fun for teens and adults too with 17 amazing, record-breaking roller coasters and more than 75 amusement park rides. I actually prefer going to Cedar Point after the heat of Summer, just dress in layers as the weather can change quickly on the lake!

I love Akron Ohio moms because I am a military wife with a mobilized husband who serves in the US army reserves. I go here to get ideas to keep myself and our kids busy. We haven’t been to Cedar point this year and would love to go, while I visited the web site I learned : Millennium Force reclaims the title as the number one steel roller coaster in the world! The park’s star attraction has won the top spot six times since the ride opened in 2000.

The history of thrill rides at Cedar Point began in 1892 with the introduction of the peninsula’s first roller coaster, the Switchback Railway. The addition of the 25-foot-tall, 10-mph scream machine would forever shape the future of Cedar Point.

I was surprised to find out that “Pregnant women may ride: C.P. & L.E. Railroad, Giant Wheel, Kiddy Kingdom Carrousel, Midway Carrousel, Paddlewheel Excursions, Sky Ride and Space Spiral.” Now I know.
Cedar Point is fun for everyone of every age!

The history of the area is exciting…Cedar Point is the second oldest amusement park in North America, dating back to 1870!
How awesome and beautiful and romantic it was, with a dancehall and boat rides, and eventually a small roller coaster!
We sure would love to experience the park!

I learned about something they have that is called “parent swap” which will allow one parent to ride and then the other parent jump on the ride right after so that their is always a parent with the child/ren! Great idea for those of us who have children that don’t like to ride all the rides. 🙂
I learned that you can purchace tickets on line using PayPal
I learned they have a crazy new swing ride coming.
I have liked you and Cedar Point on Facebook. I also follow both on Twitter. I have commented on the bathtub faucet post on Total House Remodel. I posted on Google Buzz.I joined Google Friends and voted for you on Top Baby Blogs.
I learned about Parent Swap. One parent waits in line. Once he/she has ridden, they give their Parent Swap pass to a ride operator. Then, the other parent can use the exit to walk right up to the platform and ride. We may try this out—if we win the tickets!!
I learned that tickets are $45.99 for a regular admission.
