Cedar Point, //"America's Roller Coast"//



Every year children of all ages, from 5 to 95, head to the banks of Lake Erie for a day of fun and thrills. We walk through the gates, and are immediately greeted by games, food, rides, crowds and weather. Very few of the visitors really understand there is mathematics in each one of those aspects.

 Cedar Point has been deemed "Best Amusement Park in the World" by Amusement Today for the past thirteen years
