How close are you to The Point?

[Maverick2007]

I'm in Sandusky. Yeah. Not that far. :P

[David Ellis]

Lowestoft, England...a good 4000+ miles I reckon...that is not close enough!

David.

[Matandmel05]

669 miles, 10 hours 55 minutes by car.

[The Fonz]

I think we need a 'Cedar Point' sub forum.

[fathorse]

2 hours give or take, 79 miles as the crow flies, 108 by car.

[ThrillRider27]

Probably around 8 hours away.

[nickdaegg]

:bored:

[LightGrenades]

Eh, 1,000 miles? 800? I don't know.

[Cyberleader]

I'd say, probably 5000 miles away, about 10 hours by Aircraft I'd also say.

Belgium. (Those who know HHG2TG well will understand)

[deaconnor]

I live 7hrs. 59 mins away and 501.98 miles away. I've still been though, best decision EVER!

[Tommy3245]

Im 35 miles away from its brother park, Knotts Berry Farm. Awesome park.


and im 60 miles from Six Flags Magic mOuntain * note: I have a season pass and go once a month.:p

p.s Riddlers revenge is the best coaster.

[deaconnor]

That was not the question.^

[Tommy3245]

That was not the question.^


Well, i was saying im close to the original park.:)

[David Ellis]

I am confused...which original park are you referring to?

Cedar Point opened 64 years before Knotts (1870 compared to 1934).

David.

[The Ghost]

I guess 800 miles.

[Soulfire21]

I'm about 2.5 hours away, not quite sure how many miles. It's quicker if I drive 80 mph... though I forgot the Ohio turnpike is only 65 mph speed limit. My bad. You should see some other Michigan drivers... they go 90+ down that thing!

I go to CP usually once a year ... staying for 3 days.

This year, we aren't doing that. I can drive alright now, so my brother and I are just kind of randomly going when we feel like it over summer.

[Hemmy]

937 miles 13 hour some odd minute drive

[Darth Gilbert]

189 miles. Took three hours to get home tonite. That includes a pass through the drive-thru at Taco Bell, and eating tacos while driving the Turnpike. :)

[Harpo]

About 2.5 hours by car -- in other words, not all that far, but too far for my tastes! :D

[callmecosmo]

1.5 hours by car, though it use to be 10 minutes!

[rctmaniac]

Too far.

About 4500 miles and a big pond away :D

[SnooSnoo]

College: 1 hour
Home: 2 hours

Been there twice already, and plan on going many more times..... :)

[IEATPASTE001]

Couple hours away.

M5 to 275 to I 75 to 2 to 4(or 6...I forget the road, pretty sure it is 4) to the left at the causeway to Cedar Point. I can drive it in my sleep and have!

[fathorse]

We live really close IEATPASTE, I take 2 to 6 by the way.

[LuDaRollercoast]

When I used to work there. I would say Two Miles, because that's how long the bridge was.


You still couldn't walk it. They had a yellow bus that was blue to take you.

If you got caught walking on it. You was fired.


But now I'm back in Detroit so...

[The Fonz]

They had a yellow bus that was blue to take you.

Make up your mind, is it yellow or blue!

:mad::down:

[LuDaRollercoast]

Well here in Detroit. Our school bus is called the Yellow bus or the cheese.

It was those type of buses, but Blue.

[LightGrenades]

I live 7hrs. 59 mins away and 501.98 miles away. I've still been though, best decision EVER!

Well, I am sure glad that you didn't decided to actually count how long it took and how far it is.:o

[coasterfreak044]

Just about an hour. I live in Oregon, a small city outside of Toledo (although here we like to call it Boregon lol!).

[RollerC]

Well, i was saying im close to the original park.:)

Valley Fair! and Cedar Point are the only "original" parks. Knotts was purchased sometime in the 90's.

I'm 1 hour from the Point and give or take 30 mins from Geauga Lake.

[rollerfreak83]

I am also about 2 hours away from The Po!nt. I usually take I-96 to I-275 to I-75 to I-280 to I-80/1-90 (Ohio Turnpike) to US-250. I also have some alternative routes. When I-280 was closed due to the cable-stayed bridge construction project, I took I-75 straight to the Turnpike. Like IEATPASTE001, I sometimes will also take Ohio 2 to 4 or US-250.

When I went The Po!nt on opening day, I took the Turnpike on the way there. On the drive back, I unintentionally took Ohio 4 to Ohio 2 because I turned right at the first light after the causeway.

[ytivarg]

I'm about a 5 minute drive from the Causeway, then, well... traffic decides how much longer it'll take to get to the parking lot. ;)

[fathorse]

When I-280 was closed due to the cable-stayed bridge construction project, I took I-75 straight to the Turnpike.

That's when I had fun, I popped up Google Earth and mapped a route through Toledo. I had a route that beat the Ohio detour by 15 minutes.

[Harpo]

My route is usually I-75 to The Freeway of Perpetual Construction (i-280) to the Turnpike, to 4 to 2 to 250. It's a bit faster to get off at 4 rather than going all the way to 250 on the Turnpike, and it reduces the amount of money paid to Ohio.

Naturally, that money could be reduced to zero by taking 2, but, during the 2 lane portions of 2, I invariably get stuck behind some vehicle going 25 miles per hour, with endless traffic coming the other way blocking any chances of passing!

Just a note about why I call I-280 the Freeway of Perpetual Construction. This year marked my 38th consecutive year of visiting Cedar Point. During that time, the number of years where there wasn't construction on I-280: 0. You'd think the road could have had at least 1 out of 38 years where there wasn't construction, but, no, it's been under construction every single year. If the road were 500 miles long, I could understand it. But, it's less than 15 miles from I-75 to I-80 on I-280, so I just don't get it.

[SnooSnoo]

I just take the benevolent Ohio Turnpike from Youngstown to Sandusky, then 250 North.

Depending on how bad I want to get to CP, my time can vary from 1 hour to almost 2... hahah

[Darth Gilbert]

I take 127 south to I-94, east to 23, south to the Turnpike, east to 4, then I take 4 into Sandusky and follow the signs. :) I guess taking 2 across to 250 may be faster, but there seem to be a million traffic lights, not to mention, cars on 250, so I prefer to just follow 4 into town.

[nickdaegg]

I take the A1, Then the M25. Then, I walk...

TO BE CONTINUED

[~LoveTulie]

I live about 1 hour and 10 minutes.

[jkx95]

probably 8 or 9 hours away.

[~LoveTulie]

^That sucks.

[Logan_ECW]

I live in Alaska, so adding up the times for flights and a short drive, it adds up to 10 hours.

10 hours to Cedar Point...
Gawd i wish they would put a park in Anchorage.

[The Dave]

About 14 lightyears away.

[jaronamo70]

From Denver, that would be....approximately....too far. Way too far. :(

[MajorPyn4]

Ehh....According to yahoo maps, I am 1091.3 miles appx. 16hrs and 41 minutes away. Man Florida seems so far away.

[Soulfire21]

Basically I take I-69 to the turnpike, then turnpike to Sandusky and Exit 118, follow the signs to CP. Approximately 2.5 hours (depending on how fast I drive on the turnpike, I try to go about 80 mph but I don't want to get pulled over).

[tycooner55]

Pittsburgh to Sandusky.....about a three and a half hour car ride with a rest stop. Not too bad. I can't complain.

I might come and visit you one day.

[cchiic]

It takes me 3 hours to drive since i live in Pittsburgh.

[cdp123]

I'm in Charlotte, so I fly, but my grandparents live in Toledo, which is really close to Sandusky, so I a lot of the time I'm up there (Once a summer probably).

[RCT Enthusiast]

I'm in Houston:(
