The sun has recently graced us with its presence, and it's making us antsy for some outdoor fun.

And nothing says outdoor fun like Cedar Point!

The park announced new updates at its annual Winter Chill Out event, an exclusive off-season tour in which all proceeds go towards A Kid Again - an organization that fosters hope, happiness and healing for families dealing life-threatening illnesses.

At the event, thrill-seekers were given an up-close look at the new world-record-breaking Steel Vengeance roller coaster. The former Mean Streak ride has been revamped into the world's first "hyper-hybrid" roller coaster. At 200 feet tall, the coaster is the tallest, fastest and longest hybrid ride in the world.
