For pure, unadulterated roller coaster excitement, this is the place. I'd never heard of it until earlier this year when a group of my online friends were organizing a trip. I threw sense to the wind and joined them on the peninsula in Lake Erie. (Pack warm.)
There are 15 coasters, I believe, including Millennium Force, the highest coaster (300-ish') with the steepest drop (80 degrees). There is a stand-up coaster, a sit-underneath-with-your-legs-dangling, a sit-underneath-safely-tucked-in-a-car, and a couple of wooden coasters that are pretty to look at as well as fun to ride. There is also the Wicked Twister - it defies description; look it up on the web page (cederpoint.com)
The park is actually a resort - there are hotels, cottages, and campsites. Plan to stay for at least two days as the lines can be long. I rode a total of eight different coasters and had a great time.
