Cow Missing | Cedar Point The Best Amusement Park on the Planet Television Commercial (2004) @cowmissing | Uploaded June 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
Cedar Point is a 364-acre (147 ha) amusement park on the Lake Erie peninsula in Sandusky, Ohio, United States. Opened in 1870, it is considered the second-oldest operating amusement park in the U.S., behind Lake Compounce. Cedar Point is owned and operated by Cedar Fair and is the flagship of the amusement park chain. Known as "America's Roller Coast," the park features 16 roller coasters – fourth-most in the world behind Canada's Wonderland and Energylandia, which are tied in second with seventeen coasters each, and Six Flags Magic Mountain is the first with nineteen coasters. Its most recent roller coaster, Steel Vengeance, opened on May 5, 2018.
Cedar Point's regular operating season runs from early May until Labor Day in September, after which it reopens only on weekends through Halloween, featuring events such as HalloWeekends. Other attractions near the park include a one-mile-long (1.6 km) white-sand beach, an outdoor water park called Cedar Point Shores, an indoor water park called Castaway Bay, two marinas, an outdoor sports complex called Cedar Point Sports Center, and several nearby resorts.
The park has reached several milestones. It is the only amusement park in the world with five roller coasters that are at least 200 feet (61 m) in height – Magnum XL-200, Millennium Force, Top Thrill Dragster, Valravn, and Steel Vengeance – as well as the only one with roller coasters in all four height classifications. Cedar Point also received the Golden Ticket Award for "Best Amusement Park in the World" from Amusement Today for 16 consecutive years from 1997 to 2013. The park is in the top 20 amusement parks in the United States, with an estimated 3.6 million visitors in 2017. The park also has several buildings on the National Register of Historic Places.
Cedar Fair, L.P., d.b.a. Cedar Fair Entertainment Company is a publicly traded master limited partnership headquartered at its Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio, with executive offices in Charlotte, North Carolina. The company owns and operates twelve amusement parks, nine of which include admission outdoor waterparks, four separate admission outdoor water parks, one indoor water park, and fourteen hotels/lodgings in the US and Canada. Cedar Fair also managed Gilroy Gardens under contract with the city of Gilroy, California, until December 2021, after which the contract ended and was not renewed.
A roller coaster, or rollercoaster, is an amusement ride that employs a form of elevated railroad track designed with tight turns, steep slopes, and sometimes inversions. Passengers ride along the track in open cars, and the rides are often found in amusement parks and theme parks around the world. LaMarcus Adna Thompson obtained one of the first known patents for a roller coaster design in 1885 related to the Switchback Railway that opened a year earlier at Coney Island. The track in a coaster design does not necessarily have to be a complete circuit, as shuttle roller coasters demonstrate. Most roller coasters have multiple cars in which passengers sit and are restrained. Two or more cars hooked together are called a train. Some roller coasters, notably Wild Mouse, run with single cars.
