Top 25 Rides at Cedar Point
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 сер 2024
- Cedar Point is arguably the world's best roller coaster park. Located in Sandusky, Ohio, this mega park features 16 different roller coasters- many of which are award-winning or record-breaking. And the park also has some notable non-coasters at the amusement park, Cedar Point Shores water park, and Castaway Bay indoor water park. So in this video, I rank the top 25 best rides and attractions at the resort.

I’ve been loving these top 25 lists recently
same
Same. I like how it includes everything
Glad you like them!
Absolutely, must also admit, that he picked my three favourite amusement parks so far 🤗
Thank you for giving Mean Streak some love, most other people just talk trash about it. I rode it in 2014, and as a European who isn’t as used to wooden coasters as Americans are, Mean Streak had quite a nostalgic feeling to it.
In the back, Mean Streak was atrocious. But I could enjoy it up front.
I worked at CP and rode Mean Streak all the time. I was so sad when they closed it, BUT the replacement is SO good I can forgive losing Mean Streak, barely.
I’m pretty sure I got a concussion from riding the Mean Streak the last time I rode it (after my brother talked me into it and said they had done work to smooth the ride out a little at the time…yeah right!). Was like being in a paint shaker and had recurring headaches for two weeks afterwards. Miserable experience with that one.
@@mr.green2341I thought I cracked some ribs the last time I rode it back in 2006. I never got back on. I still haven't tried Steel Vengeance.
I like how you include all the rides, not just the coasters. it's refreshing to see someone not put Maverick in second. Maverick looks incredible, but Millenium Force looks just as good if not better to me.
I love the sustained speed on Millennium.
ChargedOnPC Maverick is a bit Over rated Millennium force is a lot beater but my Favourite Steal Vengeance
key word "looks". Go ride it
@@randalheller7460 I want to ride it. I won't be getting to Cedar Point for a while though most likely. I see where you're coming from more now though after riding some new coasters since I posted this comment. I'm not sure which I will prefer now.
Disrespectful to Maverick still my #1
Thanks alot for putting Mean Steak as an mention. I've rode it all throughout my life and actually wept up tears when they were closing it for good. The last day I was there in 2016 I rode it about 10 times in a row before having to begrudgingly leave the park and head back home to Michigan lol.
I didn't mind that ride up front.
Well, I think that is a good guide for the first time. Thanks for the video!!!
You're welcome.
The airtime on Magnum is unreal 🤯
It's powerful.
Yes but it hurts my legs so much 😭
Hey! I’ve really been liking this series. They’re very entertaining for some reason.
Nice!
I love your Cedar Point coaster rankings here; of all of UA-cam's coaster enthusiasts, you have a Cedar Point coaster countdown closest to mine. My top 10 coasters there are 1: Steel Vengeance; 2: M.F.; 3: Gatekeeper; 4: T.T.D.; 5: Raptor; 6: Maverick; 7: Max XL-200; 8: Rougarou; 9: Valravn; 10 Gemini all in the back car except TTD, Maverick and Valravn. Thanks for posting!
You're welcome! I'm surprised how you have Gatekeeper ahead of some of the Intamins.
@@CanobieCoaster I know. It's a long and also tall and fast enough. Even though it has vest restraints, my favourite type of airtime is the sustained type one feel inside that the restraints cannot change.
Great video! I enjoyed watching!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@CanobieCoaster Thanks!
My Top 20:
1. Steel Vengeance 2. Maverick 3. Magnum XL -200 4. Top Thrill Dragster 5. Millennium Force
6. Gate Keeper 7. Raptor 8. Gemini 9. SkyHawk 10. Max Air
11. Witches Wheel 12. Valravn 13. Blue Streak 14. Wicked Twister 15. Rougarou
16. Cedar Down 17 Snake River 18. Power Tower 19. Tiki Twirl 20. Power Tower
Where is the other park that has something like Cedar Downs?
Rye Playland and Blackpool Pleasure Beach have the same ride.
I love magnum it’s so underrated
I like how you group all rides together in these lists. I'm not sure how I would fit the non-coasters into the list. Snake River Expedition was a lot of fun. I don't rank Magnum as high as some people, but I don't rank it as low as others. Raptor's headbanging has really soured my feelings on that ride. I've been spoiled by so many loopers that have lap bars, so I'm less tolerant of B&Ms bulky head restraints. If Raptor had vest restraints, I would think much more highly of it. Gatekeeper never disappoints. I love it so much. I only have your top 3 ahead of it now. I got to ride Mantis in 2014, and I would rank it ahead of Rougarou and probably just behind Gemini. I thought the layout worked better in a standing position to be able to avoid headbanging.
I wish I could have ridden Mantis because I enjoy most B&M stand-ups. Even ones like Vortex at Carowinds.
@@CanobieCoaster Voetex is great and Mantis was a lot better.
I'm from the area and everyone here fucking hated the Mantis lol. I enjoyed it but it definitely puts a strain on your legs and can be pretty rough on your back. But yeah it's probably the most hated coaster in Cedar Point history except for maybe the original Mean Streak.
Interesting tho that you had a bad experience on the Raptor, ime that's one of the smoothest rides at the park, maybe it's body size related or something but I've never banged my head and I've got a good ~10 rides on it.
Definitely have to plan a trip here! almost 10 hours away but looks worth it
Understandable!
People always talk about how Cedar Point doesn't have the most roller coasters, but fail to realize/take into consideration that they have the most roller coaster track in length.
Good point. I care more about quality over quantity.
Awesome rankings, we share a very similar list besides Maverick and Millennium Force, I have them flipped from your rankings! But other than that almost every spot is the same!!! Steel Vengeance is so worth the visit out to this park… I would travel anywhere to ride a ride just as good as Steel Vengeance
I think most enthusiasts put Maverick higher than Millennium.
I love the design on top of Power Tower so much
Me too.
I could not of loved my visit to this absolute coaster heaven more, the fact that they have one of the best, if not the best collections of coasters in the world and an amazing collection of flat rides. It is 100% impossible to get board here. Minus all their coasters, they have Sky Hawk which made me think Screaming Swings are probably my favorite flat ride excluding drop towers. And they have 4 S&S towers, 4! And a Frisbee and it goes on. There is not 1 bad ride here, ok yeah I forgot Corkscrew exist, but still, 70-80% of the rides here are good, that's crazy.
I think the only flaw with the park is its popularity and crowds.
Like you calm voice and presentation ❤
Thank you!
Good to see Magnum and Millie continuing to get the respect they deserve. I honestly put Magnum over Maverick justttt slightly, but a back row night ride on Millennium solidified my childhood adoration for my easy number 2 in the park. Forceless it is not! It really warmed up throughout the day, which surprised me.
I always ride Millennium up front for the speed.
Millennium force is great. Especially at night in the back. You are right there is force in it but the layout after the first tunnel just kind of dies and is kind of a boring layout. Magnum tries to kill you and also has an amazing night ride. That is why Magnum is my 2nd favorite in the park and Mille is my 5th
One time I was on the raptor, and my vest unbuckled a bit and I was screaming so much because I thought i would fall out- that was terrifying for me.
Wow!
I can’t wait to hopefully visit Cedar point this year and in 2024 I haven’t been since Valravn opened excited to get the new top thrill dragster credit as well as steel vengeance and the wild mouse
Enjoy!
I have Steel Vengeance and Maverick as my numbers 1 and 2 at Cedar Point. I probably am overateing this, but Raptor is my number 3 here. I am a sucker for B&M inverts, and this one is no joke. It also debuted 81 days before I was born. Magnum and Millennium Force often duke it out for 4 and 5 for me.
I like Raptor, but I don't have it higher myself.
I went there earlier, I went on Steel Vengeance that first hill was the most terrifying part. My favorite is the Raptor
Nice!
Yay, another Millennium Force supporter :) I'd take the Intamin Gigas over the B&M Gigas, simply because the Intamin model has 2-across trains which feel much faster than the wider 4-across B&M model. I really hope that Cedar Point fix their relationship and work with Intamin again sometime!
I love how Millennium hugs the ground for a large chunk of the ride.
One of my favs at cedar point is monster. I’m a big fan of vintage flat ride so it ranks higher for me than others
That's fair.
Magnum is my all-time favorite coaster!
It's a great ride.
Do you have 34 hours a day?? I am not complaining at all! Really enjoying all these lists! This one as well!
Did you get to ride the indoor intamin bobsled and Mantis? If, how would they have ranked?:)
I have an efficient system. And no, I didn't ride either.
Just went to Cedar Point for the first time and what a treat. Was particularly impressed by Millennium Force, Maverick and of course Steel Vengeance. (Also Valravyn was my favorite B&M)
Magnum was a huge disappointment though. Extremely jerky and painful. I keep on seeing it ranked so high but everyone who got off it seemed to hate it. I rode it several times trying to give it second chances but it was terrible. Thought I’d turn from a baritone to a soprano
Magnum is a love-hate ride.
Totally agree on Magnum wouldn't bother going on it again
I got stuck on the gate keeper for 45 minutes😮 luckily it was at the end of the roller coaster so we could just walk to the station from where we were😅
That's good!
@@CanobieCoaster I know right.
I miss cedar point and I live in Florida and nothing compares to cedar point
Florida has some amazing coasters though.
They do that’s true!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
COOL 😎💯
Thanks!
I really like the power tower i personally think if you are scared of really big rides the power tower isn’t that scary tbh so it’s a really good start!
It has a great view.
CP is my homepark and i love coming there and riding the coasters love magnums airtime and milli's intesity on that overbank and steelveageance is the best roller caoster in the world
So much to love there.
I didn’t know CP had a water coaster. We were going to visit CP shores but I changed my mind at the last second even though we planned to on our last day there.
I don't see many people talk about Castaway Bay. My visit was a happy accident after Breakers had no water so they moved us there.
@@CanobieCoaster It's been my understanding that Cedar Point doesn't offer a free shuttle service from their hotels that are off the peninsula. Did they offer that to you since they relocated you?
Based on what I rode in my 2015 and 2017 visits and not including Cedar Point Shores or Castaway Bay, my favorite ride there is Millennium Force followed by Top Thrill Dragster, Maverick, Gatekeeper, Valravn, Raptor, Rogarou, Wicked Twister (R.I.P.), Shoot The Rapids, Cedar Creek Mine Ride, Cedar Point and Lake Erie Railroad, Blue Streak, Iron Dragon, Magnum XL 200, Mean Streak and Gemini.
I'm surprised you have Gemini below Mean Streak.
@@CanobieCoaster I don't know what happened but somehow I got very sick on Gemini. I don't mean to gross anybody out but I was actually throwing up from the second hill to the third turn around.
@Arrow Dynamics Inc. I voted a mine train over an insanely rough and painful hyper.
What are the main benefits of sitting in the back row and are they only prevalent on certain coasters? I have just always gone for the front
You get pulled through elements in the back.
I haven’t experienced Steel Vengeance yet considering I last went in 2017 so my favorite here is Maverick
Understandable
I just recently tried out wind seeker and it’s my favorite flat ride also
Amazing view!
@@CanobieCoaster I wanted to ride it one last time on the way out and my family said “we’ve created a monster” 🤣🤣
Is it weird that I found it relaxing?
@@retae_ybab nope I feel the same
Would you say that castaway bay is the best option for a place to stay when you go to Cedar Point? I might be going back there soon
It's the most fun hotel. Hotel Breakers is the most convenient.
Pretty good list overall. I will be going to cedar shores for the first time this so I will go on some of those rides you showed on here.
Enjoy!
My top 3:
1. Top Thrill Dragster
2. Millennium Force
3, Magnum XL 200
Nice!
I'm surprised Snake River Expedition wasn't higher up given your love of dark rides and Disneyland given that the ride is a better version of Jungle Cruise.
It was good, but there are a lot of coasters I prefer at Cedar Point.
I actually went on iron dragon to kill some time went I went last week and they actually sped up most of the layout. I don't know how they did it but they did.
Did the lift get faster?
@@CanobieCoaster the lift feels way faster then last year.
May I ask, what is a wheel seat on a roller coaster that coaster enthusiasts keep on talkng about?
It's the back seat of a car. It tends to be rougher on wood coasters.
@@CanobieCoaster OK thank you! I'll keep that in mind!
blacked out for the first time ever on a midnight ride on millie, the conbination of the high forces and me just being tired caused me to love a sensation i was always scared of
That first overbank is no joke.
@@CanobieCoaster ikr! especially in the back. people are always like “millennium forceless” but i think some study once showed on a hot day or something it pulled like 4.5 g’s, you just dont have much time to feel it because of how it just hauls but it can be a total gray out
Millennium Force is & has been my favorite for years!!!!
A great ride!
Canobie Coaster would say:
The straight first drop offers a little floater airtime, the vertical loop offers decent positive Gs, the dive loop is fluid, and the inclined loop is super forceful and intense, and I imagine it would have been...
More intense as a stand-up.
while I would switch Maverick and Mille that's a nitpick, good list for sure, I must say maverick was hauling when I rode it in 2021, one of the most intense rides I have had on it however the launches seemed more gradual to me than in past years, although that may be due to me riding a plethora of more powerful launches in 2020.
I think most enthusiasts would swap Maverick and Millennium Force, but I just love the pure speed of Millennium in the front row.
@@CanobieCoaster understandable, I have never gotten a front row ride on mille so that may be why, midtrain on all three of my rides due to strict row assignments
What would you like their next coaster or ride to be? I am hoping for a more modern woodie.
I could see that or them trying to break the inversion record.
Do you know something called Valravn? So what would you rate it?
It's a good dive coaster.
It’s no surprise steel vengeance is number one, it’s my number 1 on my coaster list and is an absolute amazing ride I agree with your list only difference I have with your list is maverick being above millennium force
I know a lot of enthusiasts prefer Maverick to Millennium.
Man I gotta check out Steel Vengeance, I haven't been there since it was Mean Streak.
It's incredible.
Same
Next time you go to cp can you review iron dragon and mine ride? I think iron dragon is decent but mine ride is terrible
Possibly. I don't always ride those 2.
Valravn, why is often said a much maligned coaster despite coasters from the same manufacturer being praised?
Enthusiasts find it an underwhelming dive coaster.
My favorite part of Valravn is that Zero G Roll
It has great hangtime.
How is cedar creek mine ride over corkscrew!?!?
Smoother
I think Power Tower is really underrated on this List
It's a testament to how strong this park is.
Good video but I don’t understand why you would put rides that aren’t even there anymore on the list.
That's why the old rides don't take up a spot.
What means that Valravn is a much maligned coaster?
Many enthusiasts dislike it.
Did you know Wild Mouse at Cedar Point opened in 2023, and did you know anything about Top Thrill 2?
But would you like to go to Cedar Point again? What do you think?
Yes, I'd like to go back.
Blue Streak is absolutely crazy
It ran better for me in 2018 and 2019 than 2021.
I'm going to Michigans adventure on Friday 😭🙏
Enjoy!
Cooooooooool
Thanks!
RMC = Rocky Mountain Construction FYI not Rocky Mountain Coasters but great list (:
Whoops, my mistake.
Just came here to say that my thighs still hurt from riding the Magnum last year 😂
The airtime is no joke.
Aren't the Mean Streak and Steel Vengeance the same ride?🤔
Same structure, but Steel Vengeance replaced Mean Streak.
Which amusement ride or coaster did you like more at this park?
Steel Vengeance is my favorite there.
The blue streak is responsible for my life long dread of coasters..swore I started to fly out and my dad reached up and pulled me back down into the seat..never got on another
Oh no!
I was so mad Top Thrill Dragster was closed my last time I went in 2017 I’ve only experienced it once my first time at the park in 2013
It's a tricky one for me to ride too.
Sad wicked twisters gone. Feel like it had a few more years in it, cedar fair just wanted the parts.
I'm surprised it wasn't moved to another Cedar Fair park.
I'm pleased you put the railroad in and the boat ride. Blue Streak has one of the BEST and unique paint schemes 4 a wooden coaster. The BEAUTY of Cedar Point is there IS something for everyone. Lovely landscaping, great mix of rides, beautiful views. On a clear day what can you see? Of the 3 close together Arrow suspeneds Big bad Wold (that it WAS!) XLR-8 ("D" cell R hate!) Draggin Iron, "I mean Iron Dragon" I'm kidding! There are few of these left esp. in America.
I agree the park has a deep lineup beyond just the coasters.
Are you high
2:15 Where's the other?
Derby Racer at Rye Playland
Do you think USA has a bright future for intense coasters like new intamin, vekoma, RMC, Mack etc.
Six Flags and Busch being willing to spend $15ish million on a new annual addition is promising.
@@CanobieCoaster I hope America can get those types of coasters
Corkscrew at cedar point was not in your video of top 25 worst roller coasters in the world (2020), why?
How do you compare that with the coasters on that video?
It's shaky, but it has some redeeming moments like the airtime and loop.
Did you ever come off something at Cedar Point with a headache? What do you think?
Yes, Mean Streak back row.
Including the water slides
Yes
I haven't been to Cedar Point in almost 30 yrs
Well worth a return trip.
“Rocky Mountain Coasters” lol
Did I say that by accident?
Gatekeeper is much better if you extend your legs. Actually, any coaster that allows you to extend is much better when you do
It makes the visuals better for sure.
@@CanobieCoaster you get better air time
I was there 1960 through 22
Nice!
cedar point!
Amazing park!
I don't understand putting Corkscrew on this list. I can't do that ride anymore. Too much pain.
My head clears the top of the OTSR so I don't get beat up too bad.
@@CanobieCoaster that would definitely help but I stopped growing a long time ago
Why is Top Thrill on the list? FYI: It's closed
At the time this video was made, Dragster's future was unknown. Right now it is just standing but not operating for the 2022 season.
Did you ever leave something at Cedar Point breathless?
Yes, Steel Vengeance.
Controversial opinion but rougarou is the best B&M for me
That's much different than me.
I love that ride maverick is my favorite than the rougarou
Iron Dragon is fun because it goes over water
I do like the placement.
R.I.P. Wicked Twister
It was a fun ride.
RMC = Rocky mountain coasters? I always thought is was construction.
It is, that was a mistake.
@@CanobieCoaster ohh ok. Great list
Gemini is smooth
Some bumps but overall comfortable enough.
You know some of those rides are bad when he ranks a carousel higher.
Cedar Downs is a special carousel.
Not having Disaster Transport is a tragedy. Rest in piece, we hardly knew ye.
Wish I could've tried it.
Raptor should be much much higher in the rankings! #7 is a travesty and error in judgement
This park has such a stacked lineup that I couldn't put it higher.
steel vengance is mean streak
Built from the structure.
Steel vengeance at #1 as it should be.
Absolutely
Ok, but if he likes a carousel more than Corkscrew? I think that mean’s Corkscrew sucks lol
Cedar Downs is no ordinary carousel.
The William force
What?
It might be a hot take but i have millie #6 as far as coasters. I really don't get the hype for it all. Besides the first over bank it didn't really pull any forces for me and had a bit of a rattle, which at that speed is not a good combo. Overall just a pretty mediocre ride in my eyes.
I need to ride up front for it to rank at number 2, but it's amazing there.
Ive got 2 rides one in row 4 and the other was row 2 (mom and brother were in row 1.) Maybe the back would ride better for me, but i don't have any plans to get back to cp anytime soon.
Corkscrew at Cedar Point was not in your video of top 25 worst roller coasters in the world (2020)
No, but it was close.
You might not have realized, you forgot Snake River Falls
It was intentionally missed. Not a fan of the drop.
Idk how it's possible to see all that scenery you keep mentioning--all the coasters are way too fast for sightseeing!
I take in the views on the lifts and atop the hills.
5:34 WRONG LEVAAAAAAAAAAR!
Lol
