Paramount's Kings Island, just north of Cincinnati ... It's hard to believe the Beast is 20 years old, and it's still the longest wooden track roller coaster around. What's new? Plenty: WaterWorks opens 05/26/01, for starters. Check out the view from the WebCam, live from the park's own Eiffel Tower. http://www.pki.com/
Amusement Today named Cedar Point "best park" in 1998, 1999, 2000. "Camp Snoopy," just for kids, gets rave reviews from families. http://www.cedarpoint.com
Lake Erie Island tours are popular with folks who fish, and there's a lot to be said for basking in the lake's sunny breezes, too. Don't miss the sunset - you'll be hard-pressed to find a more spectacular show. http://www.lakeerievacations.com/directo...
Swing with the Boys of Summer
Get into major league ball in either end of the state, or visit a minor league game where you're likely to get a better seat, and leave with a fatter wallet, too.
