Oh, Ohio. Why Would Anyone Vacation In Ohio? The Amusement Parks, that’s why!
When you are thinking of a fun vacation, you probably don’t think about
Ohio. In fact, some people upon the suggestion of a vacation in
Ohio will just say, “Oh, Ohio.” without much enthusiasm. But if you really want to have the kind of heart pounding fun that you can only get from one of the tallest roller coasters in the world, Ohio is the only place to go!
Ohio has two of the greatest amusement parks in the world. Paramount’s King’s Island is located in southern Ohio and Cedar Point is in northern Ohio. If you love roller coasters, there are none that compare to the coasters at King’s Island and Cedar Point.
King’s Island has The Beast, the world’s longest wooden roller coaster! This coaster will whip you around at speeds you never thought you could go, through tunnels and trees. You won’t quite know what to think of this coaster once you’ve ridden it, except that you must have more of The Beast!
Cedar Point has one of the tallest, fastest coasters in all the world! This coaster is called the Millennium Force. It takes you slowly up to the highest peak at 310 feet, so high that you can see Canada across Lake Erie, and then drops you almost straight down at 93 miles per hour. But that’s nothing compared to the speed of Cedar Point’s Top Thrill Dragster!
