I was there once about 20 years ago. I remember having a blast, but I can't really remember any details. We are planning a family trip there this summer for a weekend (our first ever vacation really) The ol' lady and the youngest daughter aren't to keen on coasters.. Plan is to do the family thing on day one. flat rides, lots of food.. Day 2, I'll take the teenagers and make an attempt to ride all 17 coasters. We plan on using the park hotel, Breakers, basically for convenience. You get an hour early entry and a discount on park tickets so that helps offset the cost, but it's still expensive. Thoughts, suggestions? Hoth 1 Awards

I've been there more times than I can remember You may want to check out some of the other hotels associated with CP, I think there are 4-5 total, some might be less than others but still offer the early entry benefit. In addition to the main theme park, there is also a waterpark you might want to check out. And if you haven't been on their website yet, there is lots of info here: https://www.cedarpoint.com/ Always a great time! I'm gonna tag @Hawk here too, because he's visited with his wife & kids within the past few years, he might have some ideas & suggestions for you as well. Hoth and Shadow 2 Awards

Being right on the lake really adds to it. It has been the top park for coasters in the US for many years. If you have any spare time you can drive over to the Jet express and take the ferry over to Put in Bay. Quite a bit to do there for adults or children. One of my favorite coasters at the park is still the millennium force. I haven't been in a few years and want get back there. I'm about 4 hours from there now. Shadow 1 Awards

I'll be sure to keep that place in mind/ I was initially thinking of Kings Island. I was also there as a teenager and loved it. I rode the son of the beast, with the loop in it. but that is all long gone now i guess. The reason for the change of heart was, we're about 5 hours from Cedar Point and about 7 from Kings Island.

There are some good rides at KI though just not nearly as many. KI is about an hour from me. There is also so much more to do outside the park if you choose to venture out at Cedar Point.

I love roller coasters. My kids got on one ride, got scared, and I spent the rest of the day trying to get them on another ride. To this day, they still will not get on a rider. Shadow 1

The Millennium Force is fantastic. Such a smooth coaster on top of that. Now if you have back issues, stay away from "The Blue Streak" & "Racer". I think they are still called that. Those are two of the OG coasters. They will beat you to death !! Shadow and Hoth 2 Awards
