Six Flags Ohio, what do you think?

I remember Geauga Lake fondly from my childhood, but I doubt if there will be much if anything left to remind me of that. Now I was thinking about taking my own children to the new Six Flags. Is there much for a preschool child to do there? Would like to hear other people's impressions of the new park. Thanks in advance.

I like Cedar Point but there's not much for the under 6 crowd there... I thought maybe Six Flags would have more little kid stuff since it also incorporates what used to be Sea World.

6 Flags still has a few dolphins, but got rid of Shamu and the good shows. Cedar Point has Snoopy's Place for kids under 6. Personally, I would take Cedar Point over 6 Flags, cleaner park, friendlier staff and better rides.

Things a little kid could do at Cedar Point: Antique cars, swan boats, Camp Snoopy, Jr. Gemini children's area (including Jr. Gemini kid's coaster). Woodstock Express (another kids coaster), Paddlewheel excursion boat, Steam engine train, Skyride, carousel, Space Spiral (like the Skytrak tower at Great America), Peanuts playground, Kiddie Kingdom, Turnpike cars and Cadillac cars, big Ferris Wheel. There are also lots of fun shows, and you can stop in the Frontier Trail Crafts area and watch glassblowers, potters, weavers and woodworkers working. You can also step out the back entrance onto the beach so they can play in the sand if they need a change of scenery, or walk oround the marina and watch the boats. You can bring a cooler in and set it in the picnic area in the shade and come back and eat lunch later if you don't want to pay the big bucks for food. There's also a water park out back. You can drive 5 minutes up the road to the East of Chicago Pizza parlor and feed the kids peanut-butter-and-jelly pizza if they like that sort of thing. Also the Laser light and sound show should hold their attention if they can stay awake til closing time. LOTS of stuff for little kids at CP.
