Cedar Point, Roller Coaster park of the World!

Hello everyone!

Yesterday, I, Cathy and 30 other exchange students went on an organized day trip to Cedar Point in Ohio, USA. For those who are not familiar with Cedar Point, it has been awarded as the best amusement park in the world, 11 years in a row. It has more rides than any other park (75) and most roller coasters in the world with its 17 roller coasters.

I have to add that I’ve never been on a big roller coaster in my life, and when people asked me: aren’t you afraid of going to the roller coaster capital of the world, I said, I can’t be afraid of what I don’t know…. Believe me, I had time to be scared when we had arrived, some lines lasted for 1 hour!

We left Windsor, Canada at around 8:30 in the morning and we arrived in Cedar Point at noon when they opened, we were in the park for amazingly 11 hours in a straight! In which we left around 23:30 in the evening.

Despite the 11 hours we had in the park, there are too many lines to actually have time for all the rides on one day, so I and Cathy went on 10 rides in total, of which 7 were roller coasters!!!

It was an amazing day which is hard to describe with both words and pictures but I will try!


On the way to Cedar Point, we took a break for some breakfast, and next to us were a car show. I just had to show a picture of this cool car!


We past a nuclear plant, and NO it’s not on fire (as someone thought) it’s steam from the cooling equipment.

We are getting closer to the amusement park; here you can see many of the 17 roller coasters that they have, some which are over 60 meter high and two over 95 meter…

Here was our first ride of the day, it was a relative small drop which gave 2 seconds of weightless, just as a warm-up :-)

Cathy is looking happy, believe me, I’m not!


One of the roller coasters that we went on, it’s really hard to capture the roller coasters on camera because they are soooo huge!

After we been on two roller coasters and had eaten some food, we took a little simpler ride, Cathy was SO excited to drive!

Me at the park.

It’s closing in towards Halloween, hence the park have started with Halloween theme, it was really cool in the evening when wherever you went there were monsters trying to scare you, it was so fun!

Cathy as a Mexican!?

Park picture.

Even Ghostbusters were there, with a whole Halloween parade!

Me underneath a roller coaster that is 130 meter high and the speed is 193 km/h (from 0 to 193km/ in less than 4 seconds) some Crazy ride!

This was the ride Magnum XL200, and was the most fun ride of the day! It is 62 meter high and goes in 120km/h.

As you can see, I wasn’t at all scared…

And then some calming down before going on the next rides! I have to say, I was quite good :D

One other ride that stood out was this one, it’s called Mantis and is a ride that you stand up in and have 4 loops! It feels really cool and different from the usual ones were you sit down in.

Getting buckled up!

(Thank you Florian for the filming)

Again, the Halloween theme!

It went dark really fast, but that didn’t stop anyone!

A proud moment in my life...

After a few rides more, a part of the 6 people team, Henrik, Cathy, Mona and Ard (Johannes and Florian) rounded of the day with some nice food in a 60’s themed American restaurant, the decoration, waiters and music was 60’s themed and it was a nice finish of the day.

Overall I have to say it was an amazing day and Cathy agrees. I will definitely go back here sometime in the future to ride the rest of the rides that we didn’t have time with. And for anyone that is visiting North America around Ohio NEED to go to Cedar Point!

With this said, have a nice day/night/morning/evening everyone!
