  Cedar Point  Cedar Point is an amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio and it is one of the largest amusement parks in the world. It is home to seventeen roller coasters and that does not even include all of the other rides that are not roller coasters. Many people have been to Cedar Point before and they have had an awesome time. I have been to Cedar Point myself and I thought it was a nice park and it has great rides. You can do many things at Cedar Point such as riding all of the fun rides or hang out at Soak City.

Location

Cedar Point is a 364 acre park located in Sandusky,Ohio. Three sides of Cedar Point are on the water, which makes Cedar Point on the Lake Erie peninsula. Cedar Point is the second oldest amusement in North America. It opened in 1870 and is still open today. Even though it may be one of the older amusement parks, about 3 million people visit Cedar Point each year. In all of these years, Cedar Point has built 68 rides; from thrill roller coasters to little kid rides to water rides. If it is a warmer day you can go and hang out at the beach and the water park and if it is windy and cold you can stay inland and ride the roller coasters. Cedar Point is a great place to go if you live a few minutes away or even a few hours away.

Rides Cedar Point is the home of 17 roller coasters from top thrill rides to rides small kids would like to go on. There are three main parts to this amusement park; Camp Snoopy, Soak City and Cedar Point. Camp Snoopy is an area where smaller kids will have fun. Some rides at Camp Snoopy are the Balloon Race, the Camp Bus, the Lolli Swing and many more. Soak City does not have rides but it does have some fun water things such as the Eerie Falls, the Zoom Flume, and the Renegade River. Cedar Point is the place you want to go if you are looking for more thrilling roller coasters. Rides in Cedar Point that older kids might like are the Blue Streak, the Corkscrew, the Gemini, the Iron Dragon, the Mantis, the Maverick, the Mean Streak, the Mine Ride and the Wildcat. One of the most thrilling roller coasters is The Top Thrill Dragster. It is the tallest and the fastest ride in Cedar Point. The rides at Cedar Point are a lot of fun and I think that everyone should take a family trip to Cedar Point.

  Soak City 

Soak City is a great water park the whole family will enjoy. Splash Zone is one of the largest parts in Soak City. Some things that make Splash Zone so cool is that it has over 100 water gadgets, racing fast slides and a huge bucket that dumps 1,000 gallons of water on top of the people below it. Other areas in Soak City that kids would like are Adventure Cove and Breakers Bay. In Adventure Cove kids can play on a playground, go on slides, and walk on the Lily Pad walk. Breakers Bay is a giant wave pool that you can go into and either body surf or go in an inner tube. One of the tallest inner tube slides is the Zoom Flume which is a 76 foot tall slide. Also there is Eerie Falls, which are winding slides that are in the dark. Smaller kids that go to Soak City would like Choo Choo Lagoon, Toddler River and Tadpole Town. In Choo Choo Lagoon there are slides, geysers, and a play area where they can have fun. At Tadpole Town and the Toddler River kids can enjoy a playground, tire swings and spiral slides and they can also ride in a shallow river in an inner tube.
