Cedar Point will open for its 142nd season Saturday.

The amusement park with 74 rides, including 17 roller coasters, and resort will be open daily through Sept. 5.

In late May, the park will open WindSeeker, a 301-foot-tall swing ride located near the Cedar Point Beach. Riders in two-passenger cars will be able to view the park, Lake Erie and Cedar Point Beach.

Another new feature of the park is Pink’s, a restaurant that specializes in gourmet hot dogs, chili dogs and onion rings. It is the first Pink’s franchise east of Las Vegas, according to a news release.

“We are very excited to officially kickoff summer in the Midwest. It has been a long, cold winter and people are ready to have some fun. Roller coasters, hot dogs and Snoopy are the perfect solution,” said John Hildebrandt, Cedar Point’s vice president and general manager in a statement.
