Cedar Poing Wind Seeker
Everyone is talking about the newest ride at Cedar Point, Windseeker.
NEW in 2012 - Soar high above the Cedar Point Beach on WindSeeker, a 301-foot-tall, nothing-below-your-chair-but-air thrill ride experience!
Riders sit in two-person seats with a lap bar and a seatbelt with their feet dangling. As the ride spins, it accelerates to 30 miles per hour; it simultaneously slowly ascends the tower over about 50 seconds. It will spin at the top for about a minute and then descend in about 50 more seconds. While spinning, the seats will reach an angle of 45 degrees.
Magnum XL-200
It's the coaster by which all others are measured. Magnum broke records when it opened in 1989. Ride this steel monument of thrill and experience a true coaster legend.
The Magnum XL-200 is a landmark at Cedar Point. Built as the first coaster in the world to top 200 feet, the Magnum travels along the Cedar Point Beach and right along the shores of Lake Erie.
In addition to the multiple hills, its 72-mph speed, a unique "pretzel" turn-around and three tunnels, you can see Canada from the top of the lift hill on a clear day!.
Mean Streak
Enjoy one of the longest coaster rides at the park. Mean Streak is a giant of a wood coaster. Head to Frontiertown to challenge this behemoth.
The structure is menacing. 1.7 million board feet of Southern yellow pine. 161 feet tall. 65 mph. 5,400 feet of adventure.
Mean Streak's a biggie - as much fun to look at as it is to ride. With hill after hill and the classic "woodie" look and feel, Mean Streak is a true white-knuckler with it's amazing height and speed.
