I wrote this essay on Cedar Point. Enjoy!
As you walk through the gates of Cedar Point, an amusement park in Ohio, you are filled with awe and wonder. There are so many roller coasters to go on! Most roller coasters are either fast, stomach-dropping, or scenic.
Some Cedar Point roller coasters are very fast. The Magnum XL 200 or the Maverick are super fast rides that zoom past 70 miles per hour! I was going to go on some, but the fast rides are accompanied by slow lanes! The amount of people at Cedar Point is way too much to handle for a 30-second ride. Fortunately for the aspiring thrill-seeker, fast-pass lanes are available and waiting a good hour for a ride is rewarded by thrills only matched by a fighter jet’s landing.
Other Cedar Point roller coasters are stomach-dropping. The Top Thrill Dragster has a stunning drop at 90 degrees, 420 feet in the air! Unfortunately it is closed, set for reopening in 2024. The Millenium Force has drops of over 100 feet! Dropping is one of the best ways to get a thrill, or throw up. These drops will put your belly in your mouth.
Then, there are the scenic rides of Cedar Point. The Iron Dragon soars right over a fish-filled pond, like a draconic beast guarding its den. Although the Wind Seeker doesn’t count as a coaster, the 360-degree rotation and 300-feet view of the Erie River are still thrilling.
All in all, Cedar Point rides can be fast, stomach-dropping or scenic. They can speed you through the skies, or hurtle you underground. But absolutely all of them are fun!
