Park News - (1/4/10) Ever wonder why some people love Millennium Force and others could care less? A fun and lengthy article about one of The Point’s most famous rides can be seen at RollerCoasterPhilosophy.
(12/14/09) The local news reports that Cedar Point will raise ticket prices for the 2010 season by a dollar, moving up to $46 for an adult ticket. However Kids and Senior tickets will remain at $20. You really can’t complain about the value however as Cedar Point did lower their prices a couple of years ago, and especially not when you compare $46 for a day at The Point compared to $79 for a day at a Walt Disney World park.
(10/22/09) Cedar Point sent out a message yesterday confirming that Demon Drop would be leaving on Nov. 1st, and their intention to hold some kind of contest to be the last rider on Demon Drop. Details will be coming soon.
(10/20/09) In case Cedar Point fans missed out on yesterday’s news… Knott’s Berry Farm is taking Demon Drop for the 2010 season. Time to get your last rides in now before it’s too late.
(10/7/09) The latest update on the whole onboard video system for Maverick is that the poster was a leftover from the summer. It seems the CDRide people did install a video system at the start of the season, but due to the intensity of the ride experience, the camera mounts began to crack, so the system was removed after only a couple of days and was never reinstalled. The general line of thought is that they will try again next season with a better mounting system.
(7/22/09) According to this news article Sandusky will become home to a new Ironman style Triathlon event that will involve parts of the race in and through Cedar Point. The race is set to take place on September 12, 2010.
 2010 - Shoot The Rapids - Confirmed - (2/5/10) A new construction update for Shoot The Rapids can be found at the official Cedar Point website.
(1/15/10) The Point has posted a construction update for Shoot the Rapids here.
(9/4/09) As we had expected, Cedar Point announ
ced a new $10.5 million themed flume ride from Intamin as their big 2010 project. The flume ride appears to use the same 10 passenger boats that were put to use on Pilgrims Plunge this past year, and will feature the same overhead lap-bar restraint system. You’ll start off your ride in the Crystal Rock Bottling Company building before you embark down the river where you will encounter feudin’ locals, a moonshine still, and rise and fall down two large drops (85 ft and 49 ft) into “the rapids” below. While I think I would have preferred a little more themeing... maybe some indoor segments built into a large fake mountain to hide the lift hills, this is a much needed ride at The Point that I’m sure will go over well. |
