Cool Maps: 7 Wonders

Cedar Point

"It is the world's largest amusement park (by ride count) with 68 rides including 16 rollercoasters (17 with the addition of Maverick, debuting in May 2007) and has the world's second tallest and second fastest roller coaster, Top Thrill Dragster. The park also has a mile-long white sand beach, two water parks (Soak City and Castaway Bay), two marinas[1], several hotels, and "Challenge Park" featuring attractions such as go-karts and miniature golf. Known as "America's Roller Coast", Cedar Point has been voted "Best Amusement Park in the World" by Amusement Today for the past nine years."

West Side Market

"Located at the corner of West 25th Street and Lorain Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio's Ohio City district, the West Side Market is the city's oldest operating indoor/outdoor market space. "

Terminal Tower

"The Terminal Tower is a landmark skyscraper located on Public Square in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. It is a part of the Tower City Center mixed-use development. Major tenants include Forest City Enterprises (corporate headquarters) and Riverside Company. "

Cleveland Orchestra

"The Cleveland Orchestra is one of the major symphony orchestras in the United States. It is based in Cleveland, Ohio. Of the "Big Five" orchestras of America, it is considered to be the most European. It is often considered one of the finest orchestras in the world. "

Serpent Mound

"The Great Serpent Mound is a 1,330 foot long, three foot high prehistoric effigy mound located on a plateau along Ohio Brush Creek in Adams County, Ohio. Including all three parts, it extends about 1,370 feet, and varies in height from less than a foot to more than three feet. Conforming to the curve of the property on which it rests with its head approaching near a cliff point, the serpent winds back and forth for more than seven hundred feet and ends with a triple coiled tail."

Jacobs Field

"Jacobs Field is one of the contributing factors to the revitalization of downtown Cleveland. Opening in 1994, it replaced Cleveland Municipal Stadium, which the Indians shared with the NFL's Cleveland Browns, and which for the Tribe had become the archetype of the adjective "cavernous." "

Great Lakes Science Center

"The center's exhibits focus on helping visitors to understand science, technology, and their interdependence with the environment. Many of the exhibits document the features of the natural environment in the Great Lakes region of the United States. The facility includes signature (permanent) and traveling exhibits, meeting space, a restaurant, and an Omnimax theater. "
