Frommer's Review
Lakefront Cedar Point boasts the world's biggest collection of rides (75) and more roller coasters (17) than any other park. Thrill-seekers love the Top Thrill Dragster, which reaches speeds of 120 mph in under 4 seconds. New in 2008 were the park's fourth designated children's area, Planet Snoopy, which includes a railroad and other new rides. Grown-ups still thrill to Cedar Point's Skyhawk, the tallest ride of its kind in the world. Splash Zone, a multistory interactive play area with more than 100 water gadgets, is located inside the 18-acre Soak City waterpark. Castaway Bay is a massive indoor waterpark resort that includes a wave pool and wave coaster, as well as day-care and spa facilities.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
