- What about Kennywood (lots of coasters), or Geauga Lake, or Conneaut
- Lake? These are all relatively close to Pittsburgh, and I hear they are
- very nice parks (planning a trip to CP, GL, CL, Kennywood and Lakemont this
- spring myself). Keep in mind that Cedar Point, outside of the two Disney
- parks, is THE most visited park in the country - lines are going to be
- long.
