I live in SO Cal, and ahving never been to Ohio, based on everything I have seen and heard, I would  choose Cedar Point over SFWOA.  I really like the variety of coasters that CP offers, they have something for everybody, not to mention the appeal of a classic amusment park.  I just can't see that as being true for SFWOA, although the merge plus X-Flight looks like a step in the right direction.  ANyway, both parks look great, but if it were me I would choose CP.
