Transport from Cincinnati

Hi,

I'm a New Zealand student who is (hopefully) going to be studying at UC Law this autumn.
I MUST get to Cedar Point sometime while I am in the US, so just wondering if there is a cost effective way to get there from Cincinnati? Any busses or trains?

Thanks for any help.

Hmm.. that's a tough one. Quite honestly, I think your best bet would be to either just rent a car, or try to find someone in the area that's making a trip and see if you can throw in some cash to tag along. Cedar Point is in the middle of nowhere when it comes to mass transit.

Amtrack Comes through sandusky, and Im sure it goes down there too. Try that out.

Thanks,

I looked into Amtrack but the only connection is via Chicago and too expensive.

I'm not sure whether I could drive on the right-side of the road (let alone on American highways). :p

There are Greyhound busses to Sandusky, but then there's still the problem of getting around once I'm there... Maybe I will have to take the plunge and rent a car.

As you'll find out if you don't know already, mass transit in this country ranks anywhere from terrible to non-existent depending on where you are. I imagine finding people to share a ride with at the university wouldn't be too difficult.

The Greyhound thing is also an option, although when I did a search for Cincinnati to Sandusky on their website for an arbitrary day in mid-August it shows a roughly 9 hour trip one way. The trip could be done by car in 4-5 hours. If you did take Greyhound though, you'd be able to get a taxi to the park.

Greyhound does NOT stop in Sandusky anymore. They closed the station down.

There's still a station listed on the website.

6012 Milan Rd.

Sandusky, OH

And I called and they are still operating.

So you can still catch a bus up to Sandusky.

Thanks guys!
