SANDUSKY — Hopefully, your Fourth of July weekend plans include a visit to America's Roller Coast. Maybe you are there just for the rides and to conquer your fear of heights. Or maybe it is a more casual visit and you want to take in one of the shows like the highly rated "Come See About Me" or one of the many bands in residence. Or maybe you are like us and go up to grab a meal, casually walk around the park and catch a ride of the Cedar Point & Lake Erie Railroad. Choo, Choo. For guests lucky enough to spend Tuesday, Independence Day, at Cedar Point, the park will host its annual Light Up the Point event once the sun goes down, weather-permitting. While guests will be able to witness the fireworks from most places in the park, for those looking for a more VIP experience, Cedar Point is offering two premium packages to take in the show. The VIP Cedar Point Grand Pavilion Experience includes a celebrity appearance by chef Joe Gannascoli, also known as "Vito," from the hit HBO series "The Sopranos." In addition to all-day access to the Millennium Lounge, guests get exclusive access to the Grand Pavilion from 6:30-10 p.m., which includes unlimited food, two complimentary adult beverages and reserved seating on the outdoor balcony. Cedar Point is also offering reserved beach viewing that includes a buffet meal featuring favorites like barbecue chicken, hot dogs, sides, desserts and soft drinks.
