Thinking of hitting Cedar Point..anyone been there?

I'm pretty much a roller coaster nut(how I never made it to CP is beyond me). I'm close to Six Flags and Hershey..they get the job done but Kinda Ka which is @ Six Flags is broken down again...it's the best coaster in the area and it seems to be down all the time. I can't imagine how much $ SF loses everyday by having that ride down(they recently filed for bankruptcy). It's their main attraction. Even though it's over in about 53 seconds, I still love it and it's a get rush.

So I was thinking of other possibilities...Cedar Point came to mind. I've heard the rumors that they are the best park out there. Just wanted to get another perspective on it. I think they have something called the dragster which is similar to Kinda Ka. It's a 7 hour drive...just want it to be worth it. Also if anyone can recommend hotels in the area that are reasonably priced, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks.. - Mike
