Excursions from Cleveland
Cedar Point Amusement Park
Cedar Point began life in the middle of the 19th century as a bathhouse resort on a peninsula jutting into Lake Erie. Soon after, rides were introduced and in the intervening years it has grown into one of the largest ride parks in the USA. Today the amusement park is home to 71 rides and 16 coasters, more than anywhere else in the world. It is a popular destination for coaster aficionados the world over. The newest roller coaster, the Valravn, or "Raven of the Slain", takes its name from Danish folklore. It is the tallest, fastest, and longest dive coaster in the world. Other facilities include a water park, an IMAX cinema, a marine mammal complex and a mile-long beach.
Cedar Point is located 98km (61 miles) west of Cleveland and is accessible by car via Highway 6 or Highway 2. A Greyhound bus service is operated to the town of Sandusky, which is itself worth a visit for its attractive rural setting and Downtown square. Cedar Point is open from May to September.
