Cedar Point is a 364 acre amusement park located in Sandusky, Ohio, USA on a narrow peninsula jutting into Lake Erie. It is one of the world's largest amusement parks with 68 rides and currently holds the world record for most roller coasters with 17, one of them being the world's second tallest and second fastest roller coaster, Top Thrill Dragster. The park also has a mile-long white sand beach, two water parks (Soak City and Castaway Bay), two marinas, several hotels, and "Challenge Park" featuring attractions such as go-karts and miniature golf.

The park opened in 1870 and is the second oldest amusement park in North America after Lake Compounce. Cedar Point is the flagship park for the Cedar Fair Entertainment Co. company and, along with Valleyfair!, was one of the original parks in the company.
