“Nothing Beats Eating the Chicken Finger Basket Underneath Sky Ride Watching Guests Sail Over You”

<p><P><P><em>Welcome to our interview series where bloggers share their insights on dining when at Cedar Point&excl; Alex is the owner of a Facebook based fan page dedicated to the world&&num;8217&semi;s best amusement park&comma; Cedar Point&comma; called <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;www&period;facebook&period;com&sol;Myowncp" target&equals;"&lowbar;blank">MyOwnCP<&sol;a>&semi; showing Cedar Point through his eyes&period; We asked him to write us a review on a recent dining experience&period;<&sol;em> <&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Well&comma; to be honest there have been many dining experiences at Cedar Point because the food is always good&comma; no matter where you go to eat&period; Roller coasters and thrill rides are only part of what makes Cedar Point the world&&num;8217&semi;s best amusement park&comma; the food helps a lot too&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>My all time favorite thing to eat at the park is the chicken finger baskets found throughout the many different food stands&period; I can not say why these chicken tenders are so good&comma; because there are no words to describe them&excl; They are always fresh and hot and fill you up for the day&period; They come with quite a bit of food and are perfect to share with a friend&period; Nothing beats eating the chicken finger basket underneath Sky Ride watching guests sail over you&comma; hear the roar of Raptor&comma; and watch Millennium Force climb up its first hill&period; The atmosphere of an amusement park always makes the food even better&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>The chicken fingers are just one of the many food offerings at the park&period; If you like the more traditional carnival foods&comma; the funnel cakes are a must have&comma; but Cedar Point does not just offer the traditional funnel cake&period; You know the fried dough with the powdered sugar on top&period; This place takes it up to a new level by adding fruit like strawberries on top to give it a more sweet bite&period; Once you think that is the greatest tasting funnel cake you have ever had&comma; the park takes it up ANOTHER level by adding their soft serve ice cream on top of the strawberries on top of the fried dough with powdered sugar&excl;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>I could go on and on about the amusement park versions of fast food but that would be enough to write an entire book about&period; As we all know summer can be very hot&comma; or very wet with thunderstorms and rain&period; If you want to get out of the heat or dry off&comma; you can try one of Cedar Point&&num;8217&semi;s indoor restaurants such as Coaster&&num;8217&semi;s Drive-In or the new Chickie’s and Pete’s&period; <&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>The Philadelphia based sports bar offers tradition bar food with a great twist&period; One of their most popular offerings is their Crab Fries&period; When the park first announced this crazy sounding concoction&comma; I immediately thought seafood only to find out it is not what it sounds like&period; These potato French fries are rubbed and coated with a crab seasoning giving it a unique flavor and served with a cheese dipping sauce&period; I had the honor of meeting Pete himself as the park preview before opening day&comma; who said these fries are the best for amusement parks&comma; because they are guaranteed to &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;stay down” on the stomach churning thrill rides&period; <&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Another top favorite for me personally is Chickie&&num;8217&semi;s &&num;038&semi; Pete&&num;8217&semi;s Buffalo Chicken Philly sandwich&period; Served on a toasted bun and covered in cheese sauce&period; This place is definitely a great addition to Cedar Point&&num;8217&semi;s already amazing line up of food choices&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Another great sit down restaurant is the Midway Market&period; This buffet style restaurant offers different food choices for lunch and dinner throughout your day at the park&period; Lunch offers food like pizza and burgers&comma; while dinner offers pasta and roasts from a carving station&period; Newly added last year to the Midway Market&comma; is the Coke Freestyle machine giving guests a truly unique way to create new flavors of soda&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>From traditional carnival foods&comma; with a twist&comma; to diner themed sit downs&comma; to bar food Cedar Point offers endless choices to fuel your day at Americas Roller Coast&period; It has been an honor writing this up for CP Food Blog and love to hear from the fans&period;
