After a long day of sailing, Michael and I decided to check out what all the fuss was about at Cedar Point. Cedar Point is the amusement park in Sandusky that is the focal point of town. Opened in 1870, the park boasts 17 roller coasters (the world record for most coasters at one park) and is the only park that has 4 coasters over 200 ft. It is located on Lake Erie and you can see the water when you're clicking up the coasters.
We decided to start off slow, but there were no "little" coasters at the park. Michael's favorite was the Raptor, where you hung down off the track. We also went on the Mantis, which was the stand up coaster. My favorite was the Magnum XL-200, which was a Hyper Coaster (over 200 ft). It was the last ride we went on and it was pitch black. The trip up to the top was long and the drop was STRAIGHT down! There were also some tunnels, which was pretty cool.
We were in line for the Millenium Force, which stands over 300 ft, but the power failed so we weren't able to go on it. We had a great time and I can see why people come to Sandusky!
