Crazy they just took this for family and friends with no idea in the future anyone in the world could see this. Bravo. So nice someone took the time and effort to capture this.

I love how this video paints a story of their day, from arrival to departure and the road trip home. The sunset was beautiful! This brought back so many early memories and my first visit to CP in 1968. I was only 4 years old, but remember not being able to sleep the night before because I was so excited. When we parked the car and started walking across that huge lot, I loved seeing the big coasters and ferris wheel in the distance...it was mind boggling. The haunted house gave me nightmares for years, especially the creepy upside down granny in the rocking chair and her cat with the back-and-forth eyes in sync with the tail. Loved seeing the fun everyone was having and all the great experiences. The boat ride made me laugh with all of those dramatic Wild West scenes. Really opened up some long hidden memories. Thank you for sharing this!

Wow…what a great video, that was amazing! The double ferris wheel, paddle wheel boat ride, the old needle that us kids would always impatiently look for driving in along the lake on Cedar Point Road. This was 5 years before I was even born. I don’t remember the alligators, zebras, or tigers…what a magical place. Really appreciate the upload and sorry it didn’t show up on my recommendations sooner. Bless your beautiful parents 🙏🏻

Those are great 8mm videos. I had a Super 8mm but it was kind of expensive to develop a 50' reel so I took shorter clips and my shots were not so good. 1968 my wife and I graduated from Tiffin Columbian HS and then married in October. 1969 we went to Cedar Point while I was on leave from the USN. I went in my whites. I have photos of that. It is hard to believe that was 55 years ago.

@billyidol2115 6 ай бұрын

I literally remember those early 70s Cedar point. The first time we went we thought the Blue Streak was going to kill us literally. And I think it may have been removed by now. But just 10 years or so ago it was still there and the first climb up that first Hill looks like a little baby coaster to us now. Compared to what they have out there. But back when we were only 11 or 12 years old that thing looked like it was colossal and we were almost scared to get on there what great memories of the Blue Streak

@fredmertes7077 6 ай бұрын

Brings back some memories.... Our family spent a couple days up there each summer every year in the mid to late 60's.... Seeing those poor animals being cooped up in those small enclosures is so sad.....

I was 8 in 68. Mom and Grandma got lost going there !! I remember the double ferris wheel being by the entrance ?? And the funhouse with the slides to exit ! Don't remember the zoo animals. The log ride was brand new to the world. And the cable cars in the air was something !! We stayed in a Holiday Inn right by railroad tracks.

@kj9093 7 ай бұрын

It's crazy to think that the Blue Streak was the biggest thrill ride there at that time, compared to the crazy roller coasters we find at Cedar Point today!

@billyidol2115 6 ай бұрын

That's what I was saying. I remember being about 12 or 13 our first trip ever from middle Michigan we drive down. And I mean we thought that Blue Streak was some kind of a monster we were going to die on that thing. But you look at this video and people were grabbing on for dear life on those rail cars😅😅 and now you look at the stuff they have it looks like a little baby kids coaster. I think it's actually been removed and made room for some other type of raptor or something. But I'll never forget it was far less crowded and it was basically the only real roller coaster on the whole park? I think the next real roller coaster they got was the corkscrew? And people literally had to wait in line for 2 or 3 hours to ride that thing when it first opened. I'll never forget it. But it seemed worth it! LOL you were going upside down in a big loop and then screwing around like a cork, and directly down through the Steam and the water pond. It was nuts

These were not simpler times folks.We had the quagmire (gigidity) of the Viet Nam war, RFK assassinated, the Cold war, Hippies protesting the Viet Nam war, China and communism, race riots. Keep going? So people might seem happy because theyre doing something they enjoy. No different than today. The same nonsense happens generation after generation

Great beautiful footage of a great time period! 55 years ago when i was born in 1968. The smiles on peoples faces are priceless. Cedar Point has changed a lot over the years but is still a great park even though its filled with mega coasters. Nice footage with beautiful parents having fun in their youth! Thanks for sharing beautiful memories and may your parents rest in peace!
