Ok seriously, King's Island is great, but you can't pass up Cedar Point if you ever have the chance to go.
I love roller coasters, so of course I love it for that, but there is soooooo much more to love about Cedar Point.
1.) Being on a peninsula jutting out into lake Erie affords both amazing views and also cool refreshing breezes.
2.) Being on a peninsula and thus space being a major commodity, it's interesting to see how they build things there. They tend to build up and through, as opposed to King's Island, which just spreads like a virus further and further out onto their acres and acres of land.
3.) No one owns Cedar Point, no one as in a major corporation, like Paramount or Six Flags. Hence, it is not commercialized at all.
4.) Something about Cedar Point seems very old fashioned to me. In spite of all the monster coasters, parts of it seem very turn of the century-ish (1899-1900) to me.
5.) Cedar Point has the most rides of any amusement park, not just counting coasters. They have a ton of those fun little dinky rides too, and a great ferris wheel. And their train is a real coal burning steam engine.
I think that Kings Island is better for wood coasters (Beast, Son of Beast, Racer), but no one can beat Cedar Point for steel coasters.
Of course, these are all just my opinions.
But can you tell I'm a rabid CP supporter??
