Question Parks near CP?

Hi, going to CP next year from Norway. Is there any other parks (near by if possible) that is worth a visit?

If you're doing CP, than Six Flags Worlds of Adventure is definately close enough to be able to do also. Others depend on how much driving you want to do.

Paramounts King's Island is somewhere around 3 hours away from Cedar Point, and is also well worth visiting. If you go there, you're about an hour away from Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom (Home of the Hillbillies!), and about 2 hours from Holiday World (with SFKK on the way). But those of course will put you a lot further away from Cedar Point.

There is also Kennywood about 3.5 hours away (according to mapquest.com). Again, I don't know how far you are willing to drive.

3-4 hours is okey, if theres an airport nearby so we can get home without going all the way back.. But we are just going if they have got big rides, otherwise we'll stay in CP an extra day or two instead.
But thanks again for great tips, i'm going to check the parks at their official sites. I so glad I foud this chat-room, because its really hard to get tips from serious people on this subject.. And the travel agencies dont know too much... So THANKS PEOPLE! Im sure i'll be back with more questions.

I'm flying up this weekend, visiting 4 parks.
I will fly into Columbus International Airport which has the abbreviation of CMH. Columbus is in the middle of Ohio.
I'll drive 1.5 hours south to visit PKI. The next day I'll drive 3.5 hours to Kennywood. Then to SFWoA, then to CP and back to CMH to fly home. 4 parks in 4 days. The driving isn't that bad. I've done this kind of trip twice and it's always worked out good. Look for my TR next week.

Kennywood is great, PKI is supposed to be great, SFWoA is a piece of crap.
