Cedar Point
Amusement Park · Sandusky, Ohio
A peninsula of roller coasters jutting three miles into Lake Erie, opened in 1870 as a bathing beach and now the second-oldest operating amusement park in North America. It holds one of the largest coaster collections of any park in the world and has spent four decades trading world records back and forth with its rivals, which is why enthusiasts fly to Sandusky, Ohio, on purpose.
