In our daily lives we endure mental and physical stress. It is at these times that we seek a place of solace. A place where we can just relax and forget ourselves. Each person has their own place of solace, for me this place is Cedar Point. Cedar Point is an amusement park located on a lake. The lake is Lake Erie peninsula in Sandusky the state of Ohio.
This amusement park is roughly 364 acres. Cedar point is the second oldest amusement park in the USA opened roughly in the late 1800s (Francis 2004). It is the flag bearer of the American Roller coaster. This is the most entertaining amusement ride in the park. However it has sixteen different roller coaster rides and holds the position of the second most roller coaster rides in the world. However this position is tied with Canada’s Wonderland.
The most recent roller coaster ride was opened earlier this year. The park’s main season is during the summer time when the park is open daily. This is the time when I get the chance to go for roller coaster rides and sometimes, I can go for a ride more than three times. My heart just skips a beat when I go for this scary but safe roller coaster rides. They make me feel more alive. Maybe that’s the reasons as to why when the summer ends I am not as lively like during the summer.
Although I still get the chance to get visit the amusement park once in a while after the summer. It’s the only place where I get solace each time I feel low.
