Best Pre-2000 Coaster: MAGNUM XL-200
This classic coaster was the first in the world to top 200 feet. While others surpassed its height, the Magnum still packs a punch more than 30 years after its introduction.
Best Water Ride: SNAKE RIVER FALLS
Beware, you will get wet! When this attraction hit the scene in 1993, it was the tallest, fastest and steepest water ride in the world. The 20-passenger boat climbs 82 feet before taking a steep plunge into the river below.

Best Unique Experience:FRONTIER FLING
Imagine being hoisted almost 15 stories into the air with only a harness around you. You hear “3, 2, 1, fly!” and drop at 65 mph. There is no description that captures the adrenaline rush of the Frontier Fling. You have to experience it.
Best Post-2000 Coaster:MAVERICK
This is not your average roller coaster. The Maverick’s thrills come from lightning-fast twists, corkscrews, tunnels and plenty of airtime, not a tall first hill. Since 2007, this coaster has been surprising riders at every turn.

Best Ride No Longer There: PADDLEWHEEL EXCURSIONS
Many rides have come and gone throughout Cedar Point history. Paddlewheel Excursions was an easy paddleboat ride through the lagoon. The real fun was the amusing commentary from the captain.
