Coming into town tomorrow with a group. Anything to do between Columbus and Pittsburgh? Need something thrilling but reasonable price

Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio (slightly out-of-the way) has some thrilling roller coasters. Nice "beach line" along Lake Erie, as well.

I thought that Milky Way was pretty decent though the menu is downright overwhelming

Falafel and Pizza Fries were very solid
