Cedar Point is the Roller Coaster Capital of the world. Opening in 1870, it is the 2nd oldest amusement park in North America. It's located in Sandusky, Ohio. The entire amusement park is on a penninsula surrounded by Lake Erie and Sandusky Bay. Cedar Point has 17 roller coasters, the most of any theme park in the world. It also has a total of 75 rides, with a grand total of over 150 rides, shows and attractions. It has been voted the Best Amusement Park for 12 consecutive years! It also has the second highest ride in the world, Top Thrill Dragster standing 420 ft! - the tallest ride at Cedar Point. Millennium Force is the second tallest coaster at Cedar Point, which is 310 ft - truly a ride for the thrill seekers. It has so much airtime and a heart-pounding fall at 80 degrees!
