Can you imagine an Amusement Park with "Four Rollercoaster’s ranked in the Top Ten?" For the seventh straight year Cedar Point has earned the title of "Best Amusement Park in the World." Four of Cedar Point’s rollercoaster’s were ranked in the Top Ten steel coasters in the world.
Millennium Force was rated Number One baby!!! Climb onboard a 310 foot high ride with speed you will not soon forget. My kids love to ride the "Force" even though the line is usually one hour and thirty minutes. There are lockers for you to place any loose items. From the water the Force is easily visible and it looks awesome!!! It debuted in 2000, travels at 93 miles per hour along 6,595 feet of track but don’t pack a lunch it is fast. Two minutes and twenty seconds from start to finish and your hair will display the speed, fun and laughs. It broke ten world records when it debuted in 2000 including a three hundred foot drop.
Magnum XL-200 was ranked as the Number Three steel rollercoaster in the world. It stands at 205 feet high and debuted in 1989. This ride is very popular and so far has given more than 26.7 million rides. In 2001 alone this scream machine gave 2,130,694 rides. Be sure you are 48 inches tall or you will be denied the ride. Magnum has 5,106 feet of steel tubular track that runs through Soak City water park along Lake Erie shoreline. Imagine hearing the screams over head as you enjoy the Park and Lake Erie or seeing the spectacular views and you give yourself a screaming ride.
Top Thrill Dragster came in at Number Seven. The Dragster is in only its’ second year. This is a rocket as I have shared in a previous blog.
Raptor was Number Ten. This is still Kathy’s favorite rollercoaster in the Park. Raptor dangles you in the air. You are sitting in a car but your feet are hanging down with a big hydraulic harness placed over you as you sit on a bicycle seat. The speed and twisting is awesome!! When you walk through the park you can hear the screams over head.
Billy, Fred and Orrin can’t wait to ride all four. Kathy and I are heading for the Dragster on our next visit.
Cedar Park is located in a perfect spot and I can see the lights of the Park from our home on Sandusky Bay. The yellow Dragster tower is visible to Kathy and I as we view the Bay at night with the awesome moon light.
