That superman coaster and the Wild Eagle look pretty sweet... Wasnt there already a coaster called X-Flight? Wish Cedar Point was getting a new coaster this year, we are just getting a stupid robotic dinosaur exhibit and a new night show.. Oh well like everything else in Ohio, theres always next year!!

"Six Flags Over Texas" hasn't yet been mentioned but I really appreciate the park and realize that it is often times underrated. (:

Cedar Point is probably the best I have been to, and is definitely one of the best in the US.

This thread needs some photos of Cedar Point.

Ohio has so many awesome theme and water parks. Being from Cincinnati, I have Kings Island at my doorstep. I went to Cedar Point last year. Holy Sh**! The Millennium force is the greatest thing ever. I see why Cedar Point has been voted the best theme park in the world like 12 years in a row. The location is spectacular, the beaches, hotels, the Lake Erie Islands, etc. I rode the Top Thrill Dragster right around sunset, and being some 400 feet in the air, you have a great view of Lake Erie, Sandusky Bay and off to the Lake Erie Islands... quite an experience. Being a roller coaster fanatic, I was hoping that thing would go backwards. The only thing I hate is the long wait lines. I am planning another trip up there this year. I have a few coasters on my list that I didn't get to last year. Cedar Point needs more than a day to experience it all.

The entire time you have people in the stands watching you, hundreds of people waiting just to watch it take off at over 120 mph, and you are sitting there wonder "what the hell was a I thinking" as you see this thing rise hundreds of feet in the air in front of you. Then they do the lights (which is the countdown), and before you know it you take off and you are looking straight up at the sky. This ride is intense! So much fun.

Best coaster, bar none, in my opinion, is X2 at Six Flags Magic Mountain. No other coaster comes close in shear thrill.

That said, it could be a little longer.

Other rides which are cool are Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point and Superman Ultimate Flight at Six Flags over Georgia.

Oh Cedar Point, how I love thee...

Mudhen419 · May 28th, 2012, 06:41 AM

Cedar Point.. Best Amusement Park in the WORLD!! Cedar Point's 2013 capital expenditures will total $25 million. Speculation for next year has begun and its getting bigger everyday... The new CEO said whatever its going to be will open up the view to the beach.. Lots of markings over by Disaster Transport and the parking area near the front right of the park

Cedar Point plans a record-setting winged coaster in 2013

Mudhen419 · June 6th, 2012, 10:48 AM

Even though its not officially announced, info has leaked and CP will be building a new coaster that will open next year. B&M winged coaster will have the longest drop and be the fastest of its kind.. Will also be the longest ride in the park (ride track length) Cant wait for CP to make the announcement and show the ride plans!

blakeaustin · June 17th, 2012, 08:03 AM

I took pics at six flags on wednesday but my playstation is being a butt nugget and won't let me post them, like wtf._.

BorisMolotov · August 17th, 2012, 06:44 AM

Is this not the same ride that just opened at Six Flags Great America?

Mudhen419 · August 17th, 2012, 12:27 PM

Same type of ride but CP will do it better.. CP's has a longer track, higher drop and speed... probly more inversions
