Have you ever been to Cedar Point? I have, and for the past 45 years.
;-)

Connection to boating: Cedar Point has a marina and a nice transient
dockage area. Transient boaters have access to the marina pool and
restrooms/showers. There is also a special boaters entrance to the park
that allows for entrance one hour before the park opens.

When our kids were younger (pre college age) and we had the 32 or 27
footer
we would kick off our boating cruise vacation by spending the first
day/night at Kelley's Island, then 3 days at Cedar Point (transient
dockage
that was then located adjacent to the Millennium Force roller coaster).
From there we would head to Leamington, Canada for some peace and quite
after hearing the park noise for 3 straight days. ;-)

Docking under the roller coaster doesn't sound like all that much fun,
at least to me.

Clank, clank, clank, clank, clank, clank, clank

pause

Steel wheels begin to roll

Whoosh picks up frequency

"Ahhhhhhhhhh! Ahhhhhhhh! Wow! Whoopie"

Somebody pukes on your boat......

Park closes at 2 AM on weekends.....


I think I would head straight to Canada.


Not under but near. And I agree with your sentiments Chuck.

We would take the trip with our best friends who own a 26 foot Lyman. The
adults were fed up with the noise and smell after the first day and we could
not wait to head to Leamington. The noise was worse for them as they only
had a small cuddy sleeping 2.......we had an enclosed air conditioned cabin
to sleep in.

But the kids loved it and that was the important thing! The layover to
Cedar Point was for the kids and we don't regret a minute of it. ;-)
